Career

She won the junior 2019 French Open in doubles with Chloe Beck, and they also finished runners-up in the junior 2019 Australian Open.

Navarro made her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2019 Charleston Open, after receiving a wildcard for the singles and doubles events.[1]

She was rated as the best tennis recruit in the nation, and committed to the University of Virginia for the Fall 2020 semester.[2] Navarro won the NCAA Division 1 women’s singles title on 28 May 2021 as a freshman. With this win, she earned a wildcard into the 2021 US Open main draw where she made her Grand Slam debut.

On her debut at the 2023 French Open as a wildcard, she reached the second round defeating lucky loser Erika Andreeva for her first Major win.[3]

She reached a WTA Tour-level semifinal for the first time in her career at the 2023 Bad Homburg Open as an alternate defeating Alizé Cornet and Rebeka Masarova by retirement.[4]

She reached the top 50 at world No. 49, following a first round showing at the 2023 US Open (tennis) and another semifinal at the 2023 San Diego Open,[5] on 18 September 2023. She became the third American to crack the Top 50 in 2023, joining Alycia Parks and Peyton Stearns.[6]

Notes
  1. The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Qatar for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Qatar was demoted to Premier status. The two tournaments have since alternated status every year.
  2. 2018: WTA ranking–763.
