Emma Navarro, the 13th seed from the United States, has reached her maiden Grand Slam semifinal at the US Open and will face Aryna Sabalenka, who is aiming to capture her third major title overall and second of the season.
In the quarterfinals on Tuesday at Flushing Meadows, Navarro staged a remarkable comeback against Paula Badosa. After trailing in the second set, she reeled off six consecutive games to secure a 6-2, 7-5 victory. This impressive win followed her earlier upset of the defending champion, Coco Gauff.
