Emma Navarro has defeated Coco Gauff in Wimbledon

American player Emma Navarro upset No. 2 seed Coco Gauff at Wimbledon, the latest in a string of exits by top-seeded women at the tournament.

Navarro won 6-4, 6-3 Sunday, the fourth round of the tournament, making it her first time making it to the quarterfinals in one of the Grand Slam contests, which also include the U.S. Open, French Open and Australian Open.

Navarro is seeded 19th in the tournament.

ā€œI donā€™t have a ton of words, but just really grateful to be out here on Centre Court, at a tournament with so much history and tradition that so many legends have played on before me,ā€ she said post-match. ā€œItā€™s a real honor.ā€

Navarro said she and Gauff were both trying to impair the otherā€™s forehand stroke during the match.

ā€œI love matches like that where it feels like itā€™s not just a hitting or striking competition,ā€ she said. ā€œThereā€™s strategy involved and it feels like a chess match or something, so that was really enjoyable for me.ā€

Gauff has been knocked out of Wimbledon in the fourth round in each of her appearances, including in 2021 and 2019, at age 15.
