The American beat the highest-ranked player still remaining in the draw with a performance that sent out a strong message.Navarro will now face a challenge from Italian player Jasmine Paolini in the last eight, with a maiden Grand Slam title now surely in her sights.This was quite a performance from Navarro who managed to beat Gauff for the first time at a major tournament.

But I guess seeing her frustrated and looking at her box and putting her arms in the air, it’s definitely a little bit of a confidence boost.
