Coco Gauff beats Belinda Bencic and Wimbledon curfew to reach quarterfinals for first time

Coco Gauff defeated Belinda Bencic 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 on Sunday night at Wimbledon's No. 1 Court to reach her first quarterfinal at the All England Club. Gauff secured the victory with an unreturned serve just two minutes before the strict 11 p.m. curfew, playfully tapping her wrist like a watch after the final point. The curfew, introduced in 2009 following the installation of a retractable roof on Centre Court, is a planning condition set by Merton Council to protect local residents.
