Coco Gauff must beat daughter of multi-billionaire to keep Wimbledon dream alive

Published

on

 

Two high-profile figures of the tennis world are set to clash in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon, as No. 19 Emma Navarro aims to topple second-ranked Coco Gauff. Navarro, the daughter of American tycoon Ben Navarro and potential heiress to a staggering $3 billion fortune, is nonetheless recognised by Gauff for her formidable tennis skills.

Just growing up with her, I always knew she was very talented and knew her game would translate well on tour, I think she has a very all-court game,” Gauff said of Navarro. “Playing her is going to be a tough match. She’s had some good wins this tournament. I don’t expect it to be easy.”

 

 

 

Despite her superior ranking and more extensive experience, Gauff is actually younger than her opponent, having made her WTA Tour debut in March 2019 at the tender age of 15. The Georgia-born starlet has rapidly ascended the ranks of the tennis world, reaching her first Grand Slam final in Paris two years ago and making it to the semi-finals in her last three major tournaments, including a triumphant 2023 US Open victory.

In addition to her sporting prowess, Gauff has also made a name for herself in the fashion industry, signing her first contract with New Balance at just 14 and launching her own signature shoe line with the brand in 2022. “I really do love fashion,” Gauff told the press.

“I love makeup. I love that type of thing. I just haven’t really thought about how I would build that into a brand, per se.” Gauff has wowed fans with her style, reflecting the chic “tenniscore” aesthetic, a fashion move that inspired New Balance’s basketball starlet Cameron Brink to emulate Gauff’s look at a recent WNBA game.
She remarked on the homage, “It was really cool,” adding in her chat with ESPN, “I haven’t got the chance to meet Cameron yet, but obviously [I’ve] been watching her a lot when she was at Stanford and now seeing her in the WNBA is great, and I definitely want to try to catch a game… I wasn’t expecting it, and it was very nice of her. I think she rocked the fit better than anybody could have.”

Meanwhile, newcomer and Italian-American Emma Navarro is proving her mettle on the pro-tennis circuit while honouring an impressive family legacy steeped in sports; her grandfather was a celebrated football coach and her father a successful businessman. Raised on Charleston’s courts, Navarro cut her teeth in tennis, though she temporarily swapped the professional pathway for a university career at Virginia, even snagging an NCAA Championship in her first year

Forgoing further collegiate competition, Navarro ascended the WTA ranks swiftly, last week achieving a career-high rank of No. 17 after notably dispatching Aryna Sabalenka en route to the elite WTA 1000.

Kid Rock didn’t hold back, declaring: “You bring a man in a dress to the Super Bowl? Then don’t call it football, call it a circus.” To him, the Super Bowl stage isn’t just another performance — it’s the moment the whole world is watching, a symbol of strength and American spirit. That’s why he fiercely opposed the idea of Bad Bunny, a man with an eccentric dress-wearing style, headlining the show. He made his stance clear: “I’ll walk away as an NFL fan if they let Bad Bunny take that stage. This isn’t just a bad choice — it’s an insult to American music.” Details ⤵️

“YOU WERE BEATEN — PAY NOW!” — Travis Kelce sues Karoline Leavitt and Network for $50 MILLION after shocking live attack. No one saw it coming. What seemed like a normal live television interview after Travis Kelce’s game and charity appearance turned into chaos when Karoline Leavitt suddenly launched a verbal assault on the Kansas City star. Instead of discussing his football, philanthropy, and upcoming community projects, she attacked his character, calling him hypocritical and questioning the “system” he represents as one of the NFL’s most respected and socially active athletes. Kelce, who had just demonstrated once again why he is celebrated as one of the league’s most consistent and influential competitors, proved that his strength extends far beyond the field. Known for his composure and principled stance on social issues, he remained calm in the face of the confrontation. His measured response in that heated moment — followed now by a $50 million lawsuit — shows that the battles off the field may be every bit as intense and consequential as the ones fought under the stadium lights.Read more ⤵️
