What Emma Navarro, Steffi Graf, Emma Raducanu & Bianca Andreescu have in common: American sets unique record after reaching US Open 2024 SF

Emma Navarro achieved a remarkable milestone at the 2024 US Open, reaching the semifinals after defeating Paula Badosa in straight sets. This victory marked her first-ever Grand Slam semifinal, making her the sixth woman in the last four decades to reach this stage at the US Open without previously winning a match at the tournament.

This accomplishment places her in the company of tennis legends like Steffi Graf, Venus Williams, Bianca Andreescu, and Emma Raducanu, who all reached the semifinals at Flushing Meadows under similar circumstances. Navarro now prepares to face either Aryna Sabalenka or Zheng Qinwen in the upcoming round, continuing her impressive run in the tournament.
