This nineteen-year-old WTA star took the internet by storm when fans heard her rhyming her rookie rap lines like a pro. Dressed in a white striped co-ord set, Navarro’s rookie rap followed the lyrics- “What’s up y’all?/It’s rookie rap, y’all/ Are we ready to have a freaking ball?/I just want to say welcome./ We’re happy to have you Belgium./ It’s very very seldom/ we get to play without brethren by our sides, And no question we want to win./ But more importantly we love/ Our countries we’re hanging with buddies/ We’re telling stories about our honey’s/Not that that meant we got it/ Not that many of us have degrees,/ but I am quite sure we can all agree. We’ll look back on this time with smiley faces.”
