Wimbledon star worth £3 billion plays on Centre Court today - but who is she?
The 24-year-old is set to become richer than Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic combined due to the wealth of her father Ben Navarro.
Navarro is seeded 10th in the women's singles and takes on Russian seventh-seed Andreeva with a spot in the quarter-finals on the line.
Here's everything to know about Navarro ahead of her fourth-round match at this year's Championships against Andreeva on Monday, July 7…
Emma Navarro is an American tennis player born in New York City who resides in Charleston, South Carolina and is coached by Peter Ayers.
Her prize money on the WTA Tour to date is $4,637,393 (£3,376,381) and she has clinched two titles so far, which came at the 2024 Hobart International in Australia and 2025 Merida Open in Mexico.
Navarro conjured up her best performance at a major tournament last year with a run to the US Open semi-finals.
She is playing in the Wimbledon main draw for just the third time having made her debut in 2023 when she crashed out in the first round to Magdalena Frech.
At last year's Championships – on her second main draw appearance – Navarro reached the quarter-finals as the 19th seed after a series of impressive wins, eliminating Coco Gauff in the fourth round, before she was eventually beaten by runner-up Jasmine Paolini.
Navarro is right-handed with a two-handed backhand and she has won 225 singles matches on the WTA Tour, while she has lost 129.
It's because of her family. She is the daughter of extremely rich investment tycoon Ben Navarro. More Trending

PGA Tour winner famous for beating Tiger Woods sadly dies after cancer battle
The PGA Tour have confirmed that Ed Fiori, a four-time winner on the tour, has sadly died at the age of 72 after a battle with cancer in a statement on their website Golf icon Ed Fiori has sadly passed away at the age of 72 following a battle with cancer. The sad news about Fiori, a four-time winner on the PGA Tour, was confirmed via the tour on their website. Among Fiori's victories was his triumph in the 1996 Quad City Classic, which is now known as the John Deere Classic. In winning the tournament, he defeated a young Tiger Woods in the final round, denying the American what would have been his maiden tour victory. Miller Brady, the PGA Tour Champions president, paid tribute to Fiori during the final round of the John Deere Classic on Sunday. He said: "Ed Fiori was a true gentleman in our sport, and is a player who would often be referred to as a pro's pro. "In three of his four wins on the PGA Tour, he dueled down the stretch with future World Golf Hall of Fame members, most notably Tiger Woods in 1996. READ MORE: 'I had to give Tiger Woods a major talking to on the golf course – we didn't speak for five holes' "That grit and resolution in the face of immeasurable odds is incredibly admirable in every aspect of life, and I know he battled cancer with that same determination until the end. "He will be missed by all of us at the Tour." After hitting 50, Fiori only played 58 times on the senior circuit, winning the 2004 MasterCard Classic in Mexico following a play-off with Graham Marsh. Sadly, back issues eventually led to him undergoing spinal fusion surgery in 2005 which prevented him from featuring more often on the PGA TOUR Champions. "I hung on for a few more years, and played for a while on the senior tour, but my back was always a problem," Fiori told back in 2019. "I had spinal fusion surgery in 2005, and from then on, I struggled to break 80. "Don't feel sorry for me, though. I've had a great life in a game I love. It was never easy. Lots of times, I was on that flight heading home on Friday nights," he said. "But I would not trade it for anything. Even today, people call me the Tiger killer. They don't always get their facts straight, but I don't mind. I'll never forget that weekend at the John Deere."
