Match Recap
Emma Navarro advanced to the second round of the US Open with a hard-fought 7-6(6), 6-7(1), 6-3 victory over Lois Boisson on Monday. The first-round match was suspended by rain on Sunday with Navarro leading 7-6(6), 4-2, and resumed the following day.
Navarro edged the first-set tiebreak 8-6, but Boisson responded by taking the second-set tiebreak 7-1 to level the match. The Frenchwoman then broke early in the deciding set, only for Navarro to break back and close out the match 6-3.
The Incident
After the handshake, Boisson's frustration spilled over as she smashed a spare racket in the background while Navarro celebrated with the crowd. The incident was captured on camera and quickly spread on social media.
Navarro's Perspective
"I'm just proud of my toughness," Navarro said after the match. "It's not easy being that close and losing a tough set."
Recent Form
Navarro entered the US Open having won just two matches during the summer hard-court swing. She defeated Sofia Kenin in the first round of the Citi Open before losing to Elisabetta Cocciaretto. She then suffered a first-round defeat to Alina Korneava at the National Bank Open but bounced back with a win over Anhelina Kalinina at the Cincinnati Masters before falling to Jessica Pegula in the second round there.
Boisson's Season
Boisson's frustration also reflected a difficult season. She had reached the semifinals of the French Open in 2025 as a wild card, defeating Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andreeva along the wayainer. That run lifted her ranking, but she had since slipped to No. 236 in the world by the time of the US Open.

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.
Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
