Emma Navarro thwarts Peyton Stearns in 3:20 comeback, third longest match of 2025 at Australian Open
Looking to back up a breakthrough is never easy but Navarro appears up to the test, showing immense physical resilience as Stearns, who is also 23 years old, faded in the final stretch of the match.
“I was just trying to make the most of the skills I had today,” Navarro repeated. “Maybe it wasn’t my best but she put up a really great fight. Obviously, we were out here for over three hours, but I’m just really happy to get the win and I can’t wait to come back out here in a couple days.”
The American will look for a more straightforward second round match against Chinese lefty Wang Xiyu, but their last match came at last year’s Australian Open, and also required a 7-5 final set.
“I’ll try to put my feet up a bit, sleep a lot, eat well, talk to my coach and figure out a game plan,” Navarro teased of her recovery. “Hopefully I’ll feel good in a couple days.”
In a thrilling match at the Australian Open, Emma Navarro pulled off an incredible comeback to defeat Peyton Stearns in a marathon 3 hours and 20 minutes battle. The match, which lasted well into the night, was the third longest of the tournament so far in 2025.
Navarro, known for her never-say-die attitude, fought tooth and nail against Stearns, refusing to give up even when she found herself down a set and a break. With her trademark tenacity and skill, Navarro clawed her way back into the match, winning key points and frustrating her opponent with her relentless play.
In the end, Navarro’s determination paid off as she secured a hard-fought victory over Stearns, much to the delight of the crowd who had stayed up late to witness the epic battle. The match was a true testament to Navarro’s fighting spirit and will to win, and will surely go down as one of the most memorable moments of the Australian Open in 2025.
