Emma Navarro Battles Caty McNally, Rain Delays in 2nd Round<\/h2>\n
A rain delay<\/a> at 5-2 did nothing to cool her off. Then in the third, she broke McNally’s serve three times to seal the win, though a four-deuce final game made her work for the finish.<\/p>\n The result pushes Navarro to 3-2 in the head-to-head against McNally, whose tennis career has been built more on the doubles side<\/a>. But the all-US second-rounder showed McNally can push at this level before Navarro pulled clear.<\/p>\n The match also marked the second straight three-setter for Navarro in New York. Her opening round against Lo\u00efs Boisson<\/a> stretched across two days after rain suspended play on the outer courts. Boisson forced a deciding set before falling 7-6(6), 6-7(1), 6-3.<\/p>\n Emma Navarro celebrating her U.S. Open first round win with fist pumps and smiles. <\/p>\n Her opponent Lois Boisson casually obliterating her racquet behind her. <\/p>\n Tennis. — The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) August 31, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n That match went viral thanks to more than just the weather element.
