No. 2 seed Coco Gauff was stunned in the first round at Wimbledon on Tuesday, falling to Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska, 7-6, 6-1.

Players walking to play at Wimbledon’s second-biggest stadium, known as No. 1 Court, are passing through a hallway renovated this year to display memorabilia and photos from the arena’s history.
