Coco Gauff, the No. 2-ranked tennis player, has been upset at Wimbledon as fellow American and Olympic teammate Emma Navarro defeated her in straight sets in the Round of 16.
Coco Gauff is out of Wimbledon after fellow American Emma Navarro, the 19th-ranked women’s tennis player in the field, took down the No. 2 player in straight sets during their Round of 16 match on Sunday.
Navarro, 23, needed only one hour and 14 minutes to defeat Gauff, 6-4, 6-3, to move to the quarterfinals on Tuesday against No. 7 Jasmine Paolini, who she has beaten in all three of their previous matchups.
This is Navarro’s first Grand Slam quarterfinal, marking this victory as quite easily the biggest win of her career.
Navarro and Gauff will be teammates during this year’s Olympics in Paris, but the latter defeated the former this year in the semifinals at Auckland.
