Navarro is making her third appearance at the Wimbledon Championships this year. She is one win away from reaching back-to-back quarterfinals at the iconic Major.

Navarro said after her win in the third round:

"Something I take a lot of pride in is being tough and fighting till the last point, no matter what the circumstances are. It’s something I always try to do. I could never live with myself if I ever gave up. It’s just not in my nature. I don’t think it’s in any of my family members’ nature to ever give up on anything. I guess we’re a stubborn bunch.

"I kind of regrouped a little, tried to slow things down a bit from my side and make her look at some different shots. Kind of just try to make her as uncomfortable as I could. My slice is coming along pretty nicely. I’m able to use that to my advantag. Played scrappy at times. Played tough. Hit some good groundstrokes, as well. I feel pretty good about where I’m at."

Navarro will take on Russian youngster Mirra Andreeva in the next round. The head-to-head between the duo is poised at 0-0.

Jaz Agassi has showered love for Emma Navarro in the past

"Had a blast @starsservinuploveasheville helping to support our north carolina neighbors #HurricaneHeleneRelief @jpegula @agassi @michaelkosta," Navarro captioned her Instagram post.

"That hug was from me!! You’re the coolest," Jaz commented.

Jaz Agassi is known to be an aspiring fashion designer. Even though she rejoices in sports, she might not play them professionally in the future.
