Gauff Loses to Navarro: Updated US Open Women's Tennis Bracket After Sunday's Results

The 2023 U.S. Open winner has been eliminated in the Round of 16.

Third-ranked Coco Gauff lost to No. 13 Emma Navarro in three sets, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3, on Sunday at Arthur Ashe Stadium, ending her time at the US Open much earlier than last year when she beat Rebeka Masarova in the final.

Navarro will now advance to the quarterfinal for the first time where she'll face Paula Badosa.

After Gauff's exit, the updated bracket can be found here.

It was an uncharacteristic performance for Gauff as she had 19 double faults, including 11 in the final set, compared to just 13 winners in the match.

Navarro won the first set comfortably and went up 4-3 in the second set, but Gauff came storming back to win 12 of the last 15 points and force a third set. However, Gauff's struggles were evident in the final set as she put together a string of faults and didn't have enough to advance to the quarterfinal.

Navarro has had Gauff's number in Grand Slam events this year, beating her Olympic teammate at the 2024 Wimbledon Championships earlier this summer. The two young stars, Gauff 20 and Navarro 23, are setting up to be an exciting rivalry for years to come, but Navarro won the battle this time.

Navarro and Badosa are the only two to have advanced to the quarterfinal so far, but there are plenty of notable names looking to solidify their spot soon. The most notable of the group is world No. 1 Iga Świątek, who will face Liudmila Samsonova, currently ranked No. 16, on Sunday.

On the other side of the bracket, world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka will face 33rd-ranked Elise Mertens on Sunday with a spot in the quarterfinal on the line.
