Emma Navarro is already preparing the final details to start the season from Oceania. The American player, ranked 15th in the world, will begin the new season at the WTA Auckland 2025, a different path from the one she embarked on last year.
Without pressure to defend a large number of points, Emma explained what excites her the most about her return to the courts after the preseason, as well as how she feels not having as much spotlight among American players.
“It doesn’t bother me at all,” said Emma Navarro about the fact that she doesn’t receive as much media attention as other compatriots like Coco Gauff or Amanda Anisimova. “If I manage to go unnoticed, that’s where I’d like to be. I’m not one to seek the spotlight for long, and if people underestimate me as a player, it’s okay. They are more than welcome to do so, and I will continue to do my thing,” confessed the American in an interview with NZ Herald.
A Season Full of Ups and Downs for Emma Navarro
“Undoubtedly, 2025 was full of ups and downs. It’s always said that the second season as a professional is the most difficult, and perhaps that was a bit true in my case. I must remind myself not to overlook or underestimate the challenge that all of this involves; it’s really tough, and many girls are really good.”
That’s how professional sports are and how the circuit is… it’s not easy, there are many travels, there’s pressure, there are expectations, you’re far from your family. I’m always learning and I feel that the level keeps rising more and more.”
Emma Navarro, on Her Father, an Important Investor
“He’s doing incredible things in many different areas and he’s very generous and careful with his time and money,” said Emma about her father. “He’s a great example to follow for me as a daughter and for many people seeking success. I don’t like being labeled for that. I wasn’t given everything as a child.”
The Start of the Season at WTA Auckland 2025
“I really enjoyed being at home and not feeling like a tennis player for a while, but I’m excited to return to competition. For me, this week in Auckland won’t be so different or new. I’ll keep moving forward, keep improving, and there are many things I’ve been working on that I hope to leverage.”
