Who is Emma Navarro, billionaire’s daughter who beat Coco Gauff en route to second straight Slam quarterfinal?

On Tuesday, Emma Navarro will take on Paula Badosa at the same iconic venue, hoping to reach her maiden Slam semifinal, and third on the WTA tour overall.

This has been the year for Emma Navarro. The 23-year-old never went past the first round at the US Open in her previous two main draw appearances at the Flushing Meadows – 2021 and 2023. But on Monday, she cracked into the quarterfinals for the second consecutive Grand Slam tournament after she took down defending champion Coco Gauff at the Arthur Ashe Stadium, winning 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

I believe that I can play tennis with the best players in the world. I deserve to be on this stage,” Navarro said. “I belong in these rounds of Grand Slams. I can make deep runs.”

Who is Emma Navarro?
The 23-year-old was born in New York, but grew up in South Carolina. She played college tennis at the University of Virginia and won an NCAA singles championship as a freshman in 2021 and later became the first women’s singles NCAA winner to make the US Open quarters.

“When I first left college, my coach and I kind of made a two-year contract that I would fully commit myself to playing professional tennis for two years and then kind of just reassess after that,” said Navarro, who will face Paula Badosa of Spain on Tuesday. “I think I hit the two-year mark this June, and we didn’t even acknowledge it or talk about it. So definitely have surpassed my expectations, for sure. I hope to just keep getting better.”
