Italian Open: Tauson upsets Navarro to move into last 16

Dane Clara Tauson, the No 22 seed, moved into the last 16 of the Italian Open by edging out American Emma Navarro, the No 10 seed, 3-6, 6-0, 6-4 at the Foro Italico in Rome.

Tauson, ranked No 23, will face the winner of the match between No 30 seed Linda Noskova and Russian Mirra Andreeva, the No 7 seed, next.

The 22-year-old Dane benefited from the abandonment of American qualifier Katie Volynets (7-5, 4-1) ahead of her victory.

In the previous round of the Rome tournament, Navarro, ranked No 9, beat Russian lucky loser Kamilla Rakhimova (6-1, 6-3).
