Coco Gauff and Sofia Kenin are set to lock horns in an all-American first-round showdown at the 2023 Wimbledon on Monday.
Gauff's grass court preparations commenced at the WTA 500 event in Berlin. She started off with a win over Katerina Siniakova, but lost to Ekaterina Alexandrova in the second round. The teenager then headed to Eastbourne, where she managed to reach the semifinals in both singles and doubles.
Kenin, meanwhile, contested in qualifiers and lower-tier events. She fell in the qualifying rounds of the Nottingham Open, but made it to the second round of her next event, a WTA 125 tournament. The American then had to go through the qualifying rounds at Wimbledon as well.

Kenin won all three of her qualifying matches in straight sets to advance to the main draw. Circumstances have changed quite rapidly for the American, who won the Australian Open in 2020 and is now relegated to the grind of qualifying. But she has shown that she's ready to put in the work.
Kenin's last appearance at Wimbledon ended on a sour note. She set a new record by committing 41 unforced errors in just 45 minutes during her second-round defeat to Madison Brengle in 2021.
Gauff, on the other hand, has some pleasant memories at the venue as this is where she made her breakthrough in 2019. While the two have enjoyed contrasting results of late, this is still an exciting match-up between two talented players.
Here are all the relevant details about their upcoming contest:
