Story summary

Emma Navarro, a top-ranked tennis player who reached a career-high ranking of No. 8 in 2024, announced on Instagram that she will miss the rest of the 2026 tennis season to treat RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) and Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. Navarro revealed these health issues after losing to Jessica Pegula in the U.S. Open quarterfinals last month. Both conditions have been affecting her performance; RED-S leads to insufficient energy for physical activities, while Hashimoto’s affects the thyroid gland, slowing metabolism. She plans a return ahead of the Australian Open in January 2027, emphasizing the importance of health over athletic achievements.
