Brilliant match love Venus but Cory was outstanding. I am buying my DGD a tennis racket. Not being cruel at all but did anyone think Venus' hair looked like Olive Oyle??? 2 weeks of heaven on the centre court, here we come x x

I've just watched the match. What a composed, brilliant young girl. I thought she played so well and look forward to watching her in round 2.

I didn't see it as I was watching Kyle Edmund. Yes Venus is amazing to be playing at her age. Her opponent (Coco?) is an up and coming player ; known to be extremely composed and focussed. There are many young female American players doing brilliantly - am sure the Venus sisters are the reason they started playing in the first place.
I love Wimbledon - it's the highlight of my year!

I've just been mesmerised by the match between Venus Williams and Cory Gauff. They looked very similar in physique and style of play, but the big difference is in age. Venus 39, Cory 15. And the youngster won. Granted that Venus isn't the power she once was, but she's still a force to be reckoned with. It was remarkable that the kid was never visibly disturbed if something went wrong - she was completely composed and the best thing is that all the shrieks were coming from Venus. How good to find a newcomer that plays in silence!
