Five things to know about Wimbledon qualifier Cori Gauff

Cori "CoCo" Gauff didn't just win, she dominated her way through the Wimbledon qualifying draw. On Thursday, the 15-year-old American rolled past world No. 129 Greet Minnen 6-1, 6-1, to secure a spot in the main draw and make history.

The night before, the teen took a high school science test, and then became the youngest player to qualify for the main draw since the Open era began in 1968. On her quest to the Wimbledon main draw she defeated No. 1 seed Aliona Bolsova to record her first Top-100 win.

In the first round, she'll play Venus Williams, and their match will mark the biggest age gap between two players since 2004. The 39-year-old is 23  years, 8 months and 24 days older than Gauff.
