American Emma Navarro, the 11th seed in the women’s tennis singles, faced a tough defeat in the third round against China’s Zheng Qinwen at the ongoing tournament. The match, which lasted a grueling 3 hours and 15 minutes, saw the world No. 7 battling hard to secure a victory after saving a match point.
Navarro, after winning a challenging first set tiebreak and coming close to victory in the second set, unfortunately couldn't maintain her momentum in the decider. This loss marked her exit from the singles competition, making her the second American woman to be eliminated on the same day, following Coco Gauff’s surprising defeat against Donna Vekic.
With Navarro and Gauff out of the singles competition, Danielle Collins now stands as the sole representative from the United States in the women’s quarterfinals. The tournament continues to witness intense matches and unexpected outcomes as players strive to advance further in the competition.
