[Applause] 15 nar's never played on this court but she's played on big courts and beaten big players at Indian well she beat Sav lanca Roland G she beat Madison Keys of course Wimbledon she took out the return of let press service last year she was ranked 57 in the world now she's 12 [Applause] a good start for Navaro in her Opening Service game let's keep an eye on Go's positioning to return serve particularly the second serve of Navaro GF has been hanging pretty deep behind the Baseline Navaro second serve average speed has been around 78 77 game for Emma no first game B oh love not so much is going to depend on that first serve mayor of golf the last match was averaging the fastest that she had averaged for this tournament she was aggressive she felt much more secure it serf goes so does the rest of Coco's game you talk about the service woes she has struggled with in the past but coming into this she's won 89% of her serve game she's only been broken three times turn [Applause] two thank you [Applause] 30 14 [Applause] she's just so resilient you think she's in hot soup and she may be she's already had two double faults in this opening game I'm going to put her in a tough position with this nice get that must have been right off the side of the line she hit that backand so hard doesn't mind the net at all does she very opportunistic is Naro is well trained in all areas of the court she has spent time kind of crafting her game from all areas tough with the drop shot against gof gof is so fast off the mark But Navaro pulled it off there use Advantage n Naro just where golf was going to to hit right good anticipation early on from Navaro she is quick as well it's a lot of balls back into play about 120 excuse me 119 there to try and save break point [Applause] she doesn't need to change Direction with that much urgency wants to kind of redirect that one to the forehand of G and Navaro just went for way too much on that backand on break point there's G's father Cory sitting up in the suite that he sits away from the player jump use there's your what a gutsy second serve there we're in game one she's already got three double Falls she's already made me jumpy two for seven second serve points one and almost had a second serve A5 Advance go how many double FS did she did she hit in that game three and she's still held saved off all three break four break points is the best part of her game her fight her will that's what she needs when she's playing well and that has been lost her left her at a couple of matches one of them was against Navaro at Wimbledon she looked utterly defeated emotionally in that match [Music] gotaro is going to test Coco Go's forehand side but Lindsay where does gof go what does she do to try to break down the B's game well a big play for Goff is to really focus on her own game and what she needs to do well just to play well and in the last match coaches were really encouraging to go high and heavy line with the forehand and that goes right into Navarro's backand can Navaro take those back Hands On The Rise and also get that forehand feeling good for and this is important games in the beginning for her to swing out forehand to forehand exchange is going to be big does go get out of it and try and go to the backand and that is the Navaro Camp her coach Peter a is on the lower right in the blue shirt from the time she was a kid it's been a remarkable partnership and Brad Gilbert who came aboard for Coco golfs team last July after her disappointing first round loss at Wimbledon 4 15 go in light for service that's a better job moving towards the ball for go she gets in trouble in there when she's waiting and goes to the left but good signs for Goff early on here the forehand that she has missed she's swinging through them [Applause] use [Applause] [Applause] what the third game his forehand are looking pretty good so far Advantage highest quality women's match we've seen so far of this tournament easily these two are both ripping their shots they're moving well I mean gof has stepped up her game at two to three levels from what we saw in the tournament's leading in here had her chances four break points M got to get on top of Goff that is when she starts to doubt herself Advantage nav [Applause] another impressive hole that one from by two games to one PR it [Applause] 15 left [Music] 15 [Applause] [Applause] for Nar to win this match be just got to be really locked in in returns in play and the unforced error count she had a look to break serve wasn't able to do it 4 to 15 fight co coco golf there two games home for set let's get some up now to her backend you like it down low to the backand here we go get some up to a backand of course reminder you can go on all those platforms find out what's going on in this tournament usopen.org Taylor Fritz had a good win earlier today over the e seed Casper Roode he's in the quarters can read about that and here go demitro on this earlier today what a year he's throwing down he beat ret the sixth seed in 5 cents you can hear Brad Gilbert there saying the same thing hi to the backhand I think that's where he likes he feels most safe with Goss foran as it's been a couple of matches now that has been his direction to go okay we heard BR loud can't Emma hear that I I think it's because there's a mic there but there are times where she's on the other side of the Court where I've heard him that for sure Emma could hear the challenge for Goff is there's also Direction coming from the other coach on Kristoff forell so I'm not sure how much maybe she absorbs it all but it it's hard to there's a lot of Direction coming at a at almost every Point 30 I don't hear anyone yelling at Emma noar I like [Applause] that go you get this okay serve of this fourth round match 15 mer what are your biggest keys for this match I think I think if Navaro stays as calm I mean look at look at this stage she's on against the defending Champion if she stays calm and continues to to move so well she could frustrate golf 15 second serve should count for a lot in this match short balls need to be jumped on both sides and they're both good at that 15 1 [Applause] let first service 15 14 four [Applause] another [Applause] one double Falls four and five and golf Breaks by four games to two how many times did you defend the title never a major never a major no is it a burden or is it yeah this is my house how do you think knowing me I retract a question thank you for some players it a player does really well at a tournament they come back the next year and sometimes there's ranking ramifications players get nervous about that when you win Majors you're not thinking at all about if you're great right you're not worried about ranking points gof is more frustrated in my opinion that we're in August and excuse me September so good she hasn't been able to add to that she is all about being great she talk about wanting to have double digits in terms of grand slam titles one talks about trying to you know be remembered and really she really thought this was going to be a springboard for her that's not the play from Nar Mary and she uses it a lot and she hits it very well not in this matchup not against go [Music] 14 15 [Applause] out 40 p [Music] go really up the energy there a couple of points yeah and a great play to move forward to return that second serve that is Go's first opening in these rallies is if she gets a second serve she's got to move forward and take it early and she did there but again Navaro is one of the best mer at picking up those shots that are hard on the Baseline absorbing it she's got soft hands GF has hit a couple of those returns great and Navaro just doesn't panic uses her hands gets those back into play that's what's throwing Goff off on a couple of these like like that yep [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Advantage Navado oh so good two for Charon balls please Charleston's Emma Navaro Navaro Le by five games to two pret here's the thing golf serving to stay in this opening set beautiful not a lot of coaching takes place that is Emma's mom Kelly there on the [Applause] screen from her camp but when she went back before she returned there coach Peter ER said nothing gets above you with the second serve return really encouraging Navaro to move forward and take those as early as possible let for service love I'mma one of four children two older brothers one younger sister come don't get a lot of attention when you're one of four M she's used to just going with the flow right but if she wins this set under the radar Emma as she likes to call herself is going to be over the radar [Applause] 153 pum yourself pum yourself do a little bit better every do G it team golf has decided to up their energy even more may every point now they're on their feet trying to get gol through this service game try to keep her round in this first set trying to really kind of create some of the energy that normally she feeds off the crowd how is this return game of hers I something so good third for Emar life he amazing come on you're Champion come on you got this next Point come on 119 in the side pocket back to you're going to find way V go 122 mph serve when she needed go oh so sweet Emma showing all these fans mayor that maybe haven't seen her play much why she is seated 13 here why she has gone from never winning a match here to the US Open May to looking to try and get into the quarterfinals here Advantage go [Applause] and go he got served all around the box that was 119 naad by five games to three PR it hard Middle come on here we go for every fight come on it see if hard down the middle is going to work for KOCO [Applause] oh there's just not a lot of players that could have stayed in that rally with golf with how she's hitting today 15 just you you can hear go come on hard golf moves on the torch he's squeaking all over the place no real sound off of Navaro shoes she she moves so lightly around the court not like Carolina Muka who's having a good tournament [Applause] here I love watching her play she plays Pini next fifth seed Italian Yanks on that one it goes wide set point the 23y old 13th seed here at the open games to three takes the first set [Applause] it'll be interesting to see what comes up with now because may she can play a different a different style was last year against Sabal Lanka she decided to drop back and just make everything and see what sabalenka could come up with the pace isn't phasing thear though no and we're 22 unforced STS to eight G it a lot more let's see if she tries to maybe drop back and and go more just making balls higher shots and seeing if she can get it out of the strike zone of Navaro 15 13 [Applause] t [Applause] [Applause] well she's decided to go big on her second serve here not just kicking him in taking some risk but paying off [Applause] fault number six no Aces here for H [Applause] [Applause] Advan Navado [Applause] this that [Applause] 121 bar just a little too tight to the court perhaps vantard Dr [Applause] four back at golf so quickly so deep push her off the court let for service it was an attackable serve wasn't it yeah not sure what to expect there's been some second serves over 100 miles per hour there's been some kicks first serve break point down 121 not sure what she's going to get go that's important to C off didn't he first game second set that's all right now well she had this moment in the spa match that early and shake and Sh where she was able to come through through and then had all the momentum that is the first time though I've seen her look over with that look to her camp we saw it at Wimbledon hadn't seen it here yet that's what Gilbert wants 1 [Applause] 15 make the adjustment [Music] that's 14 15 that's three forand returns May in this game she hasn't put back into play this we haven't seen these first three matches well that's what we were talking about earlier if Navaro can get her frustrated she's got a real look at this win game one game all second s Nar was actually born here in New York City after 911 her family left for Charleston Carolina you can hit those okay really I don't have time Beyond Time with your split play in your mind convince yourself you're playing offense go go again that's Peter SS talking he got hold of her down in Charon when she was 14 Beau it did a lot [Applause] a said Emma was a really good player at 14 but she always took her time methodically building her game to improve specific shots and ways to construct points you can see how well tou he is a said it's a very holistic method that she's adhered to to get better pretty l four up [Music] [Applause] let foress service [Applause] 14 Camp wants Emma to be aggressive go after the returns gosh Merit so hard when some first serves are coming in at 120 go lead by two games to one second sets first set Navar [Applause] interesting with Emma Nar can hold her hold her nerve cuz Koko is a little bit like Serena Williams after dropping a set she's very intense I mean Serena just her her presence was so intimidating she tended to get better after that first set loss didn't she that's the first double fall from em andar against one ace still no Aces from GF so many free points though the serve is kind of held her in this match Navaro one for seven on break points M G has not broken serve in their match at Wimbledon she broke serve one time and it's starting to frustrate her and for some reason it might be the spin the speed she does not have the Rhythm on the forand return on that due side it's a struggle for her to get him in right now 4 [Applause] 15 and it was at Wimbledon where she was expressing to her Camp frustration she wasn't getting enough Direction tell told me something I think was the quote she was saying to them now she's getting a lot and now it's up to her to try and process it game solid hold for number two games all second set [Applause] [Applause] not as many returns going into play in this second set for Navaro that relaxes Goff just a little bit [Applause] there it is now 4 love coko is only getting in every other first serve so serves like that something she might want to keep doing wow take a seems Theo prefers Pace to spin go lead by three games to two second set first set nav 15 is something may she's got to start putting those in on the due side got to go middle right she's been trying to go line some hard give herself the target when Navaro goes wide on the deuce of the middle up [Applause] 14 come on [Applause] let's go come on 4 15 [Music] na three games old can you go down there and coach everybody else wide not just over but up and I I think the answer on the backand return against the second is get in maker go 105 that is another game Mare of all three forand Returns on that due side did not find the [Music] court you heard Peter SS tell his charge make her have to go big on the second make her go one 5 how do you make a on if you stand against a big server if Navaro shows love Coco she's off the Baseline a lot of times servers will say okay I challenge you and that's apparently what team Navaro wants to see beli leavs her hands if she makes it could maybe fight it off and if she doesn't puts Emma in an a offensive position like the last Point 15 on third [Applause] now we've heard Gilbert tell her a number of times to go you know High to the backhand there but not high enough that is playing into some of the strength of the Navaro game she had plenty of time for that another double or eighth 30 I gu we do right C hasn't yet broken the wall she did it g not b new ball SP she acts like she's played a match this big in this Stadium hey again with the forehand on the deuce at this point nar's just going to keep on going there I mean golf right I mean she's getting free point after free point on the due side that was from an 80 M hour serve and that one coko took a little bit off just to get it back in play just didn't get enough length on [Applause] it let first service [Applause] that's better again AED more to the middle got a little length [Applause] [Music] and no first serve from Navaro last couple of points [Applause] that's just the second break point of the match oh the use [Applause] Advantage go [Applause] sense that Koko assumes her opponents are always going to go to her forehand in the big moments but nvar went backand on both break points yeah sometimes you've got to play to your own strengths on the biggest of occasions what a difference it makes M after that first point on the due side she has put every return in play on that side something that's been a challenge for her and now a third chance this game [Applause] double to bre Emar up 63 43 30 love now that was that the game M that turns this match around very little rattles toor though let's see what kind of return game she can play off the heels of that service game really her only sloppy game so far of the match stay in love [Applause] P love [Applause] per [Applause] 15 15 [Applause] [Music] looking the crb now is C go by she's got the lead L team [Applause] 15 [Applause] it's that's exactly what you could hear Gilbert telling her make her play [Applause] 15 14 [Applause] this is remember second set game thear serving at 43 30 love now we're all even [Applause] 15 love amaz it's a different now and so Emma's going to have to step up her game golf isn't going to go back to just missing balls not putting returns into play she is an excellent competitor once she has the momentum Emma is going to have to step up her level cuz Go's level's not going to drop game looks so much different when she's confident and and when and her forehand actually gets safer when she goes after it and she had that look in Midway through that second set of not being totally sure and Navaro just didn't see the moment 4 15 double fult number nine first game final set [Applause] [Music] l [Applause] [Applause] 15 she's got such a good sense of the court she manages it well she's got a good imagination she's got to sort of Take Charge early of these points doesn't [Applause] she that's a better job by Naro got the one 19 the last 25 points to end that second and start the third right Naro has to make a stand here right has to try and find that mix again mayor of being aggressive not making too many errors it's not easy it's goth is the champion here from last year the hold here would help Navaro an awful lot maybe just settle back down Kathy raldi she knows these players so well has worked for the USDA for so long now that go has shown that she's on to that return she's found whatever Rhythm she needed or contact Point nar's got to get back to mixing it up [Applause] that's a big hold the one gam final set how much does nabara believe in herself right now she knows Koko's going after this she was so much the aggressor back end of set two Baler played with more assurance and varo has to get back her assurance left second service there a combo that work early on going after those second serve returns love [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] love 1 [Applause] come on let's go w you [Applause] go l [Music] 14 position [Applause] [Music] 87 mph second serve mangled [Applause] Ratt around nar's racket second this final set he's going to walk that off as [Applause] well from hold the ground well we talk about she's got a lot of different ways to win matches Mar and this is just another component so comfortable up at net rarely misses a bali and understands where to cover when she does move forward just collaps over that one advant na [Applause] go clo takes the lead she couldn't escape all those double faults this time final set that's to the 15 let first service love come on let's go let's go [Music] one oh hey novaro could not consolidate the break in the second set at 43 was up 30 love serving she's got a couple of opportunities here to [Applause] try extend her lead but you still get the sense Mar this is far from over couple more twists and turns or what do you think Pro probably a lot more coaching w and a l hole for Navaro 3-1 nav leads by three games to [Applause] one this US Open has already lost so many big [Applause] names alcarez out jokovic out on the women's side rakina outa lost early [Applause] please 15 and0 [Applause] 15 13 I don't even like counting anymore [Applause] double second e f [Applause] 43 ready be ready be ready to come on [Applause] everybody do you really have to tell KOCO go to fight never doubt that part of her that's so so good go now leades by three games to two final setar is still serving with a break but this match is fraud isn't it 15 love 15 all [Applause] ball that's 15 and as Mom Kelly there how's she doing yeah her dad Ben credits nao's temperament overall to his wife y she is the calm and steady one in the family wow that's a tough shot to pull off huh is low she had to run in she had to find an angle oh in a fraction of a [Music] moment she's thinking how did my kid pull that off [Applause] it's a lot of Navaros up there n new balls pleas Navaro leads by four games to two final set is she going to pull this off still feels like a a ways to go to the Finish Line there she had the break in the second TR I trust your instincts new balls here this is going to make it a challenge and if you're on team Naro right now you're would think say every return here this is where Navaro Camp should be yelling make her play right we heard that in the second set from golf count this is where Navaro see what Koko can come up with here in this game 15 [Applause] [Applause] love four three points in this game we rally two returns that didn't get in and a double fall number 14 [Music] number 15 [Applause] H smoke coming out of the ears of golf's team 40 30 another the use all four points Emma has won in this game May are off double [Applause] faults comparing Do's fight to Serena Williams who's here today but Serena had her serve the best ever in women's tennis then after that one advantage just I mean tough to get your Rhythm when the serves aren't going in but she hasn't put many shots into play in this game got HS on Navar leads by four games to three final [Applause] set love 15 [Applause] let second service [Applause] he 15 let's go keep it up poed up and gve got a chance didn't quite hurt that volley enough thought she had oh fa 15 [Applause] 4 15 you can't defend against this shot can you and look what she found in the short Court couple of chances for 5-3 14 interesting here for go to decide what to do it's been the back end that's been more solid in the third set for n but I'm not sure go wants to get into a forehand to forand pattern really too many people right at this stage of the match there it is no Coran fails one game away for this 23-year-old from Carina and there's a coach just hanging out over in the corner there momentum every go [Applause] Emma lot of movement here the kids come down to get their the big tennis ball signed and that they clearly think this match is going to be over after this game game I think Koko might have something to say about that but that is directly the ushers not controlling that area yeah they got security and the us at this point you know I you got to wait till the match is over yes last year and thear was playing a $25,000 tournament in Naples Florida she was ranked 149 in the world now she's here look back on her Road May and there's talk about doing everything the right way mastering every level junior level even played a little bit of collegate tennis mastered that two years there and her coach at Virginia Sarah oier said she was the hardest worker on the team course on the court [Applause] 15 13 [Applause] fans groaning another Miss to first serve ter [Applause] he that's right 19 oh boy and that 19 a mat to end in the don't expect a big celebration from her if she could figure out a way to win this point it's not who she is it that b for one 63 46 63 under the radar Emma she calls herself well that kind of has changed she says maybe I have exceeded my expectations you think she said what I've learned is that I'm secure with who I am as a person
