Navarro turfs out Gauff from Wimbledon

19th-seeded American reaches the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time with her defeat of US Open champion

LONDON — Nothing, absolutely nothing, worked for Coco Gauff on Sunday.

The killer shots and the champion's mentality Gauff had meticulously curated during her run to a maiden Grand Slam title at the US Open last year all went AWOL as her hopes of reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time were brutally ended with a 6-4, 6-3 mauling by Emma Navarro.

When the draw put second seed Gauff on a fourth-round collision course with fellow 19th-seeded American Navarro, it almost seemed like a foregone conclusion which player would emerge triumphant.
