"Get to Work, Buddy," Navarro's Playful Message to Sinner After His Wimbledon Victory
Navarro has certainly shown a great sense of humor since the announcement of her doubles partnership with Sinner at the US Open. After joking about the Italian’s game a few weeks ago at Roland-Garros, the American doubled down in a message posted by the US Open’s official account:
"Hey Jannik, it’s Emma. Just wanted to congratulate you on your Wimbledon title. I watched a lot of your matches. I caught the final, and it looked like you were playing some great tennis. But I’m a little worried because I didn’t see much net play. You hit a tweener at one point, which was pretty cool, but you missed an overhead. I’m not even sure if that really counts.
I’m gonna need you to work a bit on your net game for doubles next month, and I hope you can improve that part of your game, because I’ve been putting in the work almost every day. So I need you to step it up to my level. Get to work, buddy."
For context, Navarro will team up with Sinner for the revamped mixed doubles event, scheduled for August 19-20.
