Merida Open: Emma Navarro claims rare 6-0 6-0 win over Emiliana Arango in final
American Emma Navarro became only the fifth player this century to win a WTA final 6-0 6-0 with victory over Emiliana Arango at the Merida Open in Mexico.
World number eight and top seed Navarro, who did not drop a set during the tournament, saw off the Colombian world number 133 in only 55 minutes to claim the second title of her career.
Navarro, 23, is the first player to record a ‘double bagel’ scoreline in a final since Iga Swiatek beat Karolina Pliskova at the 2021 Italian Open.
The other women to have achieved the feat since 2000 are Simona Halep, Agnieszka Radwanska and Marion Bartoli.
Navarro, the top seed in Merida, did not face a break point and won 76% of points on her first serve.
Elsewhere, world number four Jessica Pegula beat fellow American McCartney Kessler 7-5 6-2 on Sunday to win the ATX Open final in Austin, Texas, for her seventh singles title.
