“It was about relying on my courage, my tenacity and my fighting spirit” revealed Emma Navarrowho never gave up the idea of passing this first round, despite the breaks suffered in the second and third rounds. “I just tried to make the most of my skills today. She fought well. I’m very happy to have won. And I can’t wait to come back here in a few days.” After clay and grass, it was on hard court that Navarro beat her compatriot for the fifth time in a row.
