Emma Navarro On Her Post-Tennis Match Routine & ‘Love Island’ Faves

Emma Navarro always has to watch Love Island USA on a delay. The hit series coincides with the tennis season for the 25-year-old athlete, so while she frequently fell behind on Season 8 this summer, she still tuned in to root for Bryce Dettloff and Trinity Tatum after long days on the court. “It’s a good way to shut your brain off and wind down a bit,” Navarro says. “It makes my life feel pretty tame when I watch all that drama.”

Though she may not be doing karaoke competitions in the villa, Navarro’s own life is a whirlwind of fast-paced matches and frequent-flier miles. In the middle of her fourth WTA Tour, Navarro is currently ranked No. 26 worldwide after taking a few months off to focus on her health. She hasn’t let the brief hiatus from the sport keep her from falling behind. She earned her third career WTA Tour title (and her first on clay) at the Internationaux de Strasbourg in May and had a strong run at the Nottingham Open a few weeks later.
