Going into the tournament, Andy Roddick had noticed a difference in Navarro<\/a>, but for whatever reason, she was unable to bring her A-game to the court in Shenzhen. <\/p>\n Navarro shared what went wrong in the final<\/a> after losing, and now, as the dust settles, she\u2019s taking time out to send a message to her fan base. <\/p>\n Navarro lost in round three to Barbora Krejcikova and, as a result, she\u2019s now slipped outside the top 10 of the world and sits in 11th place. <\/p>\n The 24-year-old is completely focused, however, on next year, and she can\u2019t wait to compete for the Billie Jean King Cup once again. <\/p>\n Navarro posted on Instagram: \u201cNothing beats dressing up in the red, white and blue. It was a pleasure to share a week with Team USA for the Billie Jean King Cup. We\u2019ll be back for the trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n Navarro needs to get back on track in 2026<\/p>\n For a player boasting such quality to only reach one Grand Slam quarterfinal in 2025 simply isn\u2019t good enough. <\/p>\n Navarro was dumped out of the French Open<\/a> without winning a game and also lost before the second week at Wimbledon<\/a> and the US Open<\/a>. <\/p>\n As a result, there is a bit of soul-searching for Navarro to do as she looks to get back into the top eight of the world, where she sat as recently as 12 months ago. <\/p>\n Navarro has some time on her side, but now all of her focus must be placed on getting some results before the end of the year to try and kick-start 2026 with a bang. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emma Navarro was unable to get Team USA over the line in the Billie Jean King Cup over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":157821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[13369,101,118,56,54,55,6546],"class_list":{"0":"post-157820","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-emma-navarro","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-tennis","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom","14":"tag-wta"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=157820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/157820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/157821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=157820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=157820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=157820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Emma](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2232391469-1024x683.jpg\")
