US Open quarter-finals: Fritz v Zverev, Navarro beats Badosa – as it happened
Emma Navarro beat Paula Badosa in three sets and Taylor Fritz beat Alexander Zverev in four, both reaching their first grand slam semi in their home event
Tremendous backhand winner for Badosa makes 15-0 but then Navarro seizes upon a slightly short ball, landing a backhand on to the baseline before coming in to clobber a forehand winner. But she then nets a forehand and disburses a double – P-R-E-S-S-U-R-E! – meaning she faces two break points – and another double cedes the early break! Navarro leads 2-0!
Terrific start from Navarro, who plays a really solid point for 15-0, directing Badosa about the court, then closes out to love. She’s in the match and if she can get her first return in, she’ll give her opponent something to think about about which to think.
