Your support makes all the difference.Cori Gauff 's fairytale run at Wimbledon is over after the 15-year-old lost to former world No 1 Simona Halep on Court One.
Gauff had already defeated another former No 1 – beating Venus Williams in the first round – and the young American completed an astonishing comeback in the third round, saving match points to defeat Polona Hercog 3-6 7-6(7) 7-5.
