Emma Navarro's stunning victory over Aryna Sabalenka sparked comments from fans, who praised the 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 win as Navarro advanced to the quarterfinals of Indian Wells. The American capitalized on the errors of the world No. 2 and totaled 13 unforced errors compared to her rival's 34.
The triumph marks Navarro's career-best victory and her second win over a top-10 player. She also reached 18 wins for the season, surpassing players like Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek in 2024.
A player who has shown consistency since 2023 and is starting to catch the attention of fans. One fan jokingly said that Navarro is their new favorite millionaire's daughter tennis player, replacing Jessica Pegula, who is also a millionaire's daughter:
"Move over Pegula! Emma Navarro is my new favorite player that’s the daughter of a billionaire," the fan posted.
Another fan opined that Navarro is, in their opinion, the second-best American player currently, presumably behind the world No. 3 and 2023 US Open champion, Coco Gauff:
"Navarro is officially the second best American in my eyes. This isn’t a fluke anymore, she’s incredibly poised, doesn’t miss, takes it early, does every basic you want a tennis player to do. Amazing win," the fan commented.
Here you can find other reactions to Navarro's surprising victory:
“Yeh that wasn’t good from Saba esp the 3rd set, the conditions aren’t the best but it’s made worse by her reluctance to do anything but hit hard, Emma was able to absorb & redirect just fine, she moves well & has the composure that frustrates saba. Weak 1st serve but good variety”
