Out in 57 minutes – ninth seed Navarro loses 6-0 6-1 in first round

French Open 2025

Location: Roland Garros, May 25 – June

Emma Navarro, the ninth seed, was beaten by Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the first-round 6-0 6-1 victory in just 57 minutes.

Navarro, who reached the semi-finals of the previous year’s US Open, did not play well on the second day in Paris.

With a winning record of 6-0 5-0, Bouzas Maneiro attempted to become the first woman to defeat a top-10 player with 6-0 6-0 at a Grand Slam since Martina Navratilova defeated world no. 7 Manuela Maleeva in the 1989 US Open.

However, the American only won 44% of her first-serve points and only claimed 30 of the 86 total points.

Navarro was also hampered by only four winners, compared to 23 unforced errors.

Elena Rybakina, the former champion of Wimbledon, defeated Argentine qualifier Julia Riera 6-1, 4 , 6-4, to overcome a second-set slump.
