Emma Navarro has reached the fourth round of the French Open for the first time in her career after defeating fellow American Madison Keys in an all-American third-round match. Navarro won the match in two tiebreak sets, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3). This victory marks a significant milestone for Navarro, a former NCAA champion from Virginia, as she continues her breakout season. Madison Keys, who had been on a six-match winning streak and had recently defeated Mayar Sherif 6-0, 7-6(7), was unable to overcome Navarro's aggressive play. The head-to-head record between the two players is now 2-1 in favor of Navarro, with Keys having won their last meeting on clay in Charleston 2023.
