French Open 2024: Is Emma Navarro’s Billionaire Father In Paris to Witness Daughter Script WTA History?

Emma Navarro isn’t the only one in her family who has garnered a lot of attention owing to her tennis endeavors. Even her billionaire father, Ben Navarro, has been an investor in the racket game, as he is the owner of the WTA 500 tournament in Charleston. Despite his busy schedule, the American billionaire businessman still manages to accompany his daughter during her campaigns, especially now that she is competing at the prestigious French Open.

Ben Navarro is there in Paris to support the WTA superstar, who is competing in both singles and doubles categories of the Grand Slam event. The Sherman Financial Group founder’s appearance during the clay court swing was recently brought to the public lens when his tennis star daughter shared a heartfelt family post which was captioned, “fam bam in paris 💚” Emma now has the support of that family member, who taught her a lot about having a strong mindset on and off the court.

“He’s probably the smartest guy I know and he’s dropped a lot of knowledge and wisdom on my siblings and I over the years,” the American tennis player previously credited her father with helping her develop a strong mindset. With her dad’s presence in Paris, Emma recently outclassed some of the top guns, as she now might pull off an American Grand Slam feat on the women’s tour.
