US Open 2024: Navarro beats Gauff; Dimitrov defeats Rublev in five sets in last-16 singles – as it happened

Emma Navarro beat Coco Gauff, the defending champion, for the second grand slam in a row, while Grigor Dimitrov saw off Andrey Rublev in five sets

Badosa has played the big points well so far, down 30-40 and unleashing an inside-out forehand winner - though Wang will be disappointed with the return that made it happen. Another, this time down the line, brings Badosa advantage, and from there she seals her consolidation to lead 3-0.

Badosa makes 0-15 then drags a forehand wide; Wang reinforces with an ace out wide, then raises two game points with a forehand schlepped into the net. Badosa, though, saves one then clobbers a forehand winner on the leap and she's relaxing into this, you sense. And again, we wind up at deuce, Badosa cleverly working a chance to punish a further forehand winner for advantage. But then she nets one, meaning another deuce, another Badosa forehand, into the forehand corner, yanking her another break point ... and a booming rendition of the same, almost a table-tennis shot from half-court, means she leads 2-0. Wang is doing alright - well, even - but as we said at the top, if Badosa keeps the head, I'm not sure how she can be beaten here.
