A former Top 10 player, Navarro has struggled to find her form in recent months, falling out of the Top 20 in March and then missing Miami, Charleston and Madrid due to health struggles.
She then fell out of the Top 30 a few weeks ago, dipping as low as No. 39 going into Strasbourg, her lowest ranking since 2023.
But with her latest title—her first since winning another WTA 500 event on hard courts in Merida, Mexico last March—the former world No. 8 soars back into the Top 30, from No. 39 to No. 25.
It may have been just a week late to snag her a seed at Roland Garros, but the American will surely go into the second Grand Slam event of the season with all kinds of confidence now.
She thanked her team afterwards for sticking with her.
“They’ve been with me through thick and thin. It’s been a little bit of a rocky year and a half or so, but I think we’ve put in a lot of really good work, and thank you guys for sticking by me and being incredibly dedicated. You make it fun and worth it. Every day’s a journey and we’re always getting a little bit better.”
