Defending champion Coco Gauff is set to face a familiar challenge in the US Open fourth round as she takes on fellow American Emma Navarro. This match marks a rematch of their Wimbledon clash in July, where Navarro pulled off a stunning upset by defeating Gauff in straight sets. Reflecting on that defeat, Gauff admitted to a “mental collapse” during the match and is determined to stay focused this time around.
“I feel like that match at Wimbledon, I think I mentally just literally collapsed on the court. I was very frustrated, and she played well,” Gauff said, emphasizing the need to maintain her mental toughness throughout the upcoming match. Gauff, now 20 years old, is vying to become the first woman since Serena Williams in 2014 to defend her US Open title.
Emma Navarro, the 23-year-old 13th seed, is also eager to prove herself, aiming to reach her first quarter-final at Flushing Meadows. Their all-American showdown is set to take place on Arthur Ashe Stadium, where Gauff will need to bring her best game both mentally and physically to overcome Navarro’s challenge.
