Coco Gauff has just passed a tough test by defeating Belinda Bencic in the round of 16 at Wimbledon 2026 with a 4-6 6-3 6-4 scoreline to advance to the quarterfinals. With the elimination of Aryna Sabalenka in this section of the draw, the young American player emerges as a serious contender not only to reach the final but also to win the tournament.

It should not be forgotten that Bencic reached the semifinals last year. Although Gauff took the lead, Bencic gradually entered the match, leveled the score, and with 5-4, she pressured Coco to break again and clinch the first set. However, the American quickly reacted in the second set, preventing the Swiss player from taking the lead and breaking her serve at 3-2 to take control and maintain it to level the sets with a 6-3.

Number 1 ranking within reach for Gauff

Almost a replica of the first two sets, Gauff broke again right from the start, but once more, Bencic returned the favor, adding tension to the match. However, Coco seemed a bit superior and regained a 3-2 lead and serve, not allowing any more break points and sealing her first-ever quarterfinal pass at Wimbledon after three previous round of 16 exits.

Gauff, along with Pegula, are the two highest-ranked players still active in Wimbledon. Other notable names like Sabalenka, Rybakina, Swiatek, or Andreeva have already been eliminated, so a good result could bring Coco closer to the world number 1 ranking. If she wins the tournament, she will reach 6869 points, while Sabalenka leads with 8550 points, paving the way for what might unfold by the end of the season.
