With temperatures that reach more than 30 degrees Celsius in Wimbledon, players could be forgiven for their time in court, but not by US Emma Navarro, who wants to see women’s tours play the best of five set.
The tenth seed is seemingly hungry for more than a four-minute-soaked sun in the club All England, taking a little more than an hour to seal their place in the third round with Win from 6-1, 6-2 over Veronika Kudermettova Thursday.
