Coco Gauff loses at the U.S. Open to Emma Navarro

Coco Gauff’s title defense at the U.S. Open ended with a surprising fourth-round loss to fellow American Emma Navarro, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. Gauff struggled with her serve throughout the match, recording 19 double-faults, more than her total of 14 winners. This defeat is part of a recent trend of early exits for Gauff, including at the Paris Olympics. Despite fighting back to win the second set, Gauff’s serve issues, particularly in the final set where she double-faulted 11 times, ultimately led to her downfall. Navarro, who also defeated Gauff at Wimbledon earlier this year, capitalized on her opponent’s errors and advanced to her second career Grand Slam quarterfinal.
