Coco Gauff vs Simona Halep result: Wimbledon run over for American teenager

Fifteen-year-old sensation Gauff faced her toughest opponent yet in former No 1 Halep

Serena Williams says she can't attend Archie's Christening due to Wimbledon schedule

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 Polon​a Hercog 3-6 7-6(7) 7-5.

But last year’s French Open champion Halep, who recorded an impressive straight-sets win over Victoria Azarenka in her last outing, proved too strong recording a straight sets win.

Berrettini 1-6 2-6 1-4 Federer*

Berrettini holds to 15, and gets on the boar in this third set.

Federer let him have that...

*Berrettini 1-6 2-6 1-5 Federer

Federer holds to love, in a game which I reckon lasted for about 1 minute. 

He is a game away from the last 8.

Berrettini 1-6 2-6 2-5 Federer*

Berrettini holds to love, in a game which also probably lasted 1 minute. 

Quickest two games of the Championships so far? Perhaps..

GAME, SET, MATCH ROGER FEDERER! Berrettini 1-6 2-6 2-6 Federer

In 1 hour and 13 minutes, Federer is through to the quarters!

One of the most one-sided second week clashes I've ever seen at Wimbledon I have to say. 

For Federer, job well and truly done. He's beaten the potential rain, and has cruised to a last eight match against either Kei Nishikori or Mikhail Kukushkin, who are still locked in battle on Court 2.

He will play Roger Federer on Wednesday.
