Navarro played college tennis at the University of Virginia and won an NCAA singles championship for the school as a freshman in 2021.

When I first left college, my coach and I kind of made a two-year contract that I would fully commit myself to playing professional tennis for two years and then kind of just reassess after that, said Navarro, who will face Paula Badosa of Spain on Tuesday. I think I hit the two-year mark this June, and we didn't even acknowledge it or talk about it. So definitely have surpassed my expectations, for sure. I hope to just keep getting better.
