Emma Navarro had another successful season as she defeated Aryna Sabalenka, the winner of the Australian Open, with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. This win brought her to the quarter-finals of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
Navarro, who won her first WTA title in Hobart this year, was able to outlast the world No 2 in a back-and-forth contest that lasted 1hr 56min. Navarro secured one of her most important points after an incredible rally, with both players running across the width and breath of the court.
