On Thursday, June 30, Mihaela Buzarnescu of Romania will play No. 11 seed Coco Gauff of America in the second round of the 2022 Wimbledon. This will be a first meeting between the two. Despite having a difficult opening round on Tuesday, French Open finalist Coco Gauff, 18, managed to advance through Elena-Gabriela Ruse of Romania. Mihaela Buzarnescu, the 127th-ranked player in the world, easily defeated German qualifier Nastasja Mariana Schunk on Tuesday.
Gauff increased her overall season record to 24-12 and is 4-1 on grass, having reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in Berlin. Buzarnescu, 34, is making her fourth main draw appearance at Wimbledon, and she has advanced past the first round three times. A victory in the following match will equal her tournament best from 2018. But, in order for that to happen, she must make a major uproar on Thursday. The clear favorite in this matchup is Gauff. Expect her to win in straight sets and advance.
Coco Gauff v Mihaela Buzarnescu are scheduled to face each other on Wednesday, June 29 in the second round of the 2022 Championships. The timing of the match has not been decided yet. The Championship is scheduled to begin on June 29 and go on until July 10. There were a number of exciting matches in the first round as the likes of Swiatek, Badosa, Williams, Gauff, Krejcikova and others will be in action.
