Coco Gauff stormed past Romanian qualifier Anca Todoni to move into the third round of Wimbledon.

The second seed entertained the crowd under the roof on Court One with big hitting to earn a 6-2 6-1 victory in 66 minutes.

Gauff will play British qualifier Sonay Kartal, who claimed the biggest win of her career with victory over France’s Clara Burel.

A second convincing win this week marks progress for American Gauff at SW19 after a surprise exit in the first round last year.

“Overall, I just learned about life a lot. I guess you do as you get older,” the 20-year-old said.
