World No. 11 American tennis player Emma Navarro has revealed the interesting reason behind her choice to play without a cap or visor.
According to Navarro, the decision stems from her teenage years. “When I was younger, I used to wear a visor, and then a cap,” she explained. “However, around the age of 13 or 14, I stopped wearing them because of the noticeable tan line it created. My forehead would be very pale, while the rest of my face was tanned. I was probably in middle school at the time, and I felt like I couldn`t go around with such a stark tan line. Since then, I`ve simply not worn anything. I think I`ve gotten really good at squinting,” Navarro added with a smile during a press conference at the Charleston tournament.
