The 23-year-old beat Spain's Paula Badosa 6:2, 7:5 to reach the top four at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career. Badosa experienced a complete collapse in her game in the second set. The 26-year-old was already 5:1 ahead, but then nothing went right for her. Navarro took the last six games of the match in a row. The American had already surprisingly defeated the defending champion Coco Gauff.
