American tennis star Emma Navarro delivered a jaw-dropping comeback to secure her first Grand Slam semifinal spot at the US Open on Tuesday, defeating Spain's Paula Badosa 6-2, 7-5. The 23-year-old turned the match around by winning 24 of the final 28 points – proving she’s the comeback queen of Flushing Meadows!
Navarro, who upset defending champ Coco Gauff earlier, credits her Wimbledon experience for keeping cool under pressure: \"I’m not scared of making a run anymore,\" she said post-match, grinning like she just found the golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
After Badosa led 5-1 in the second set, Navarro flipped the script with back-to-back love holds and laser-focused returns. Her secret? \"I wanted to set the tone – even if it went to a third set.\" Spoiler: It didn’t.
