Navarro’s success on the court should come as no surprise, given she comes from a sports-mad family.
Both she and her sister Meggie played collegiate tennis at the University of Virginia, and their grandfather was the late Frank Navarro, a former American college football player and coach.
Her father, Ben Navarro, is a billionaire businessman who himself has a keen interest in sport. The former vice-president of Citigroup once tried to buy an NFL team, the Carolina Panthers, in 2018, and owns the Charleston Open on the WTA Tour.
Navarro speaks candidly about her dad’s influence on and off the court, often seen in her box showing his support on her remarkable rise.
“I gotta give a lot of credit to my dad,” she said about him in April to the Tennis Channel. “He’s probably the smartest guy I know and has dropped a lot of knowledge and wisdom on my siblings and I over the years. He’s taught me a bunch about the perspective I need to take.”
