Navarro suffered a straight set loss to Aryna Sabalenka in the U.S Open Semi-Finals
After an exciting run to her first career Grand Slam Semi-Final, former University of Virginia Tennis star Emma Navarro bowed out of the 2024 US Open in straight sets to Aryna Sabalenka, 6-3 7-6.
In the second set, Sabalenka was in cruise control and ultimately served for the match at 5 games to 4. In a semi-final that felt all but over at that point, Navarro ignited energy into the Arthur Ashe crowd and broke Sabalenka’s serve for a second time to even the contest and keep her US Open hopes alive. Sabalenka held her serve at 6-5 to send the two into a second set tiebreak.
Though she left the contest in defeat, Navarro showed incredible fight under the brightest lights of the tennis world. She battled her way back into the second set against a far more experienced Sabalenka, and became the first ever Virginia alumna and just the second ever female College tennis alumna to reach the semi final stage of a Grand Slam.
Sabalenka, a two time Grand Slam Champion and now two-time U.S. Open Finalist, controlled the match from start to finish. Sabalenka proved all too powerful for Navarro in the biggest match of her career thus far, totalling seven aces.
