Emma Navarro makes a bold confession. While her 2024 US Open journey comes to an end, her Grand Slam dream ends on a sad note for this season. A great run for her as she found another top 5 win this season, after beating Coco Gauff. Despite the ending, Navarro maintains her poised self, revealing why she is an ultimate inspiration for the young generation.

After the loss, Navarro attended the ongoing US Open press conference. With her take on life and tennis, this WTA star also revealed the support she received from her family. “My family is incredibly supportive and they’re always in my corner no matter what. To them I’m a daughter and a sister before I am a tennis player. So, I think it’s really important for me to have those people around me that keep me grounded. Especially, when things can feel hectic or overwhelming or just out of my control.”

Emma Navarro’s statement helped people to understand that the inspiration behind her impressive tennis journey is her family. After her quarterfinals victory, Navarro complimented her mother by revealing her as the source of Navarro’s calm and cool demeanor, even in pressure times.

Emma Navarro wants to “credit” her father for her success in tennis

In April, Navarro attended a Tennis Channel interview and revealed her father’s contribution to her life. “I got to give lot of credit to my dad, he’s he’s uh probably the smartest guy I know and he’s dropped a lot of knowledge and wisdom on my siblings and I, over the years,” she said. This WTA star also thanked her father for seeing her potential and encouraging her to pursue this journey.

Ben feels an interesting connection with tennis. “As a fan, father, and business owner, tennis has brought so much to our family,” he said once.
