Navarro, ranked 19th in the world, triumphed 6-4, 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time where she will face Italy's Jasmine Paolini.

Gauff, who made the semi-finals at the Australian Open and French Open this year, has still to get past the last 16 at Wimbledon, the tournament where she famously made her breakthrough as a 15-year-old in 2019.

Her shock defeat follows the unexpected exit of world No 1 Iga Swiatek in the third round on Saturday.

Only two of the top 10 seeds are left in the tournament – fourth-ranked former champion Elena Rybakina and Jasmine Paolini, the world No 7.
