LONDON — Of all the matches spread across the All England Club when Wimbledon begins on Monday none is more intriguing than the one scheduled for late afternoon on Court One between five-times champion Venus Williams and Cori Gauff. Now ‘Coco’ as she is known will play against her idol in front of a packed showcourt crowd in a clash of the generations. I always get nervous watching Venus.”Swiss great Roger Federer, whose management company Team 8 also looks after Gauff, is excited. “I feel blessed because my parents never put limitations on my goals,” Gauff said at Roehampton this week. “I don’t think of Venus as old — she’s still killing the game right now,” she said.
