Merida Open: Emma Navarro claims rare 6-0 6-0 win over Emiliana Arango in final

American player Emma Navarro defeated Emiliana Arango 6-0, 6-0 in the final of the Mérida Open in Mexico, becoming only the fifth player this century to achieve such a lopsided score in a WTA final. This victory marks another milestone in Navarro's professional career and highlights her growing dominance on the court.

Navarro, the world's No. 8 and top seed, did not drop a single set throughout the entire tournament, and needed only 55 minutes to defeat Arango, the world No. 133 from Colombia, to win her second career title. Her outstanding performance fully demonstrated her strong strength and stable competitive state, solidifying her position as a top player.

The 23-year-old Navarro is the first player to achieve a "double bagel" score in a final since Iga Swiatek defeated Karolina Pliskova at the Italian Open in 2021. Since 2000, other female players who have achieved this feat include Simona Halep, Agnieszka Radwanska, and Marion Bartoli, placing Navarro in esteemed company.

As the top seed at the Mérida Open, Navarro did not face any break points during the match and won 76% of the points on her first serve. This data fully reflects her advantage in the serving aspect and her control over the match, demonstrating her tactical prowess and composure under pressure.

In addition, in the final of the ATX Open held in Austin, Texas, world No. 4 Jessica Pegula defeated compatriot McCartney Kessler 7-5, 6-2 to win her seventh singles title. Pegula's victory further consolidates her position in women's tennis, reaffirming her status as a leading force in the sport.
