Navarro, seeded No. 25, advanced to her fourth Grand Slam quarterfinal as she is eyeing to replicate her 2024 semifinal run at Flushing Meadows, her best showing at a major.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the first set under her belt, Navarro looked more confident as she jumped to a 5-1 lead in the second. Although Kalinskaya, who had won both of their previous meetings, pulled one break back, it was not enough. Navarro broke again in the eighth game to wrap up the 6-4, 6-2 victory in 1 hour, 21 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This is Navarro\u2019s fourth career Grand Slam quarterfinal. She previously reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon 2024, the US Open 2024 and the Australian Open 2025. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
The win sets up an All-American quarterfinal matchup for Navarro, as she\u2019ll face No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula, who has swept their four meetings, with her most recent win coming last month in Cincinnati, when Navarro fell, 7-5, 6-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This will be the first all-American women\u2019s singles quarterfinal at the US Open since Serena Williams defeated Venus Williams in 2015.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pegula moved into the US Open quarterfinals by defeating No. 16 Sorana Cirstea 6-3, 6-4 in Round 4 and earned her third consecutive trip to the US Open quarterfinals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"I have lost to her a few times now, but there\u2019s always that time when you get over the hump and get the win, so hopefully that will be in a couple of days.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
