Emma Raducanu against Coco Gauff on Centre Court at Wimbledon 2025. Now that would make for one of the most memorable moments at the greatest Grand Slam on the calendar.

Emma’s celebrity status has brought her all manner of commercial riches. But there has also been relentless pressure since she won the US Open back in 2021.
Coco Gauff knows that weight of expectation as well. Particularly since she too tasted glory at Flushing Meadows in 2023.
She is famous for bursting onto the scene on Wimbledon’s Centre Court as a fearless 15-year-old.
English tennis fans have taken her to their hearts ever since – and willed her to win the title on grass.
