Emma Navarro String Tension & Setup
The Yonex kit lists the VCORE 98 and POLYTOUR REV 125. The page has not been updated recently, and no tension is published.
By String Tension AI · Published · Research checked
This is a source-based equipment profile, not an official Emma Navarro page. It reports what Yonex lists for Emma, compares that listing with our catalog row, and does not fill the missing tension with an estimate.
Yonex’s athlete page lists Emma Navarro with the Yonex VCORE 98 racquet and Yonex POLYTOUR REV 125 string. The kit lists one string. That fits a full bed, but the page does not confirm what goes in the crosses. The kit lists the 1.25 mm version of POLYTOUR REV. Yonex states no string tension, and this profile does not show one as her setting: a product listing identifies equipment, not a stringing-machine reference setting. The page is undated and its achievements list ends in 2024, so the kit may not reflect a later equipment change. Our catalog row lists POLYTOUR REV 1.25 in the mains with no racquet record, and its provenance note says the tension came from a retailer listing rather than a player source. The kit agrees on the string and gauge and adds the VCORE 98.

What strings does Emma Navarro use?
Yonex POLYTOUR REV 125, as listed on Yonex’s athlete page.
The kit lists one string. That fits a full bed, but the page does not confirm what goes in the crosses. The kit lists the 1.25 mm version of POLYTOUR REV.
What string tension does Emma Navarro use?
Yonex does not state a tension. A product listing identifies equipment; it is not a stringing-machine reference setting, a later stringbed measurement or a personal specification.
The Emma Navarro row in the pro string setups table carries a tension from IQ Tennis, accessed by our catalog on 2026-07-16. We have not reconfirmed it for this profile, so it is not repeated here as her current setting.
How this profile compares with our pro setups table

What racquet does Emma Navarro use?
Yonex’s athlete page lists the Yonex VCORE 98. The page adds that “Yonex professional players may play with a customized racquet with different specifications to the model displayed.”
How current is the manufacturer source?
The page is undated and its achievements list ends in 2024, so the kit may not reflect a later equipment change. We checked the page on 2026-10-03; an access date is not a publication date.
Should an app reading match a pro’s machine setting?
No. Even where a professional’s reference setting is published, a later app reading estimates installed stringbed tension, a different physical state. For Emma there is no confirmed setting at all. Read the reference setting and stringbed estimate distinction, then compare readings with your own fresh-string baseline.
Track your own setup instead of copying a pro
A professional’s equipment is context. Your useful comparison comes from your own racquet history. In String Tension AI, save your frame, string, gauge and reference tension, measure a fresh-string baseline and repeat under similar conditions.
Follow the repeatable measurement workflow and watch tension loss alongside feel and hours played. This does not imply that Emma Navarro uses or endorses String Tension AI.
What this means for a club player
This page does not show a confirmed main reference setting, so there is no professional number to compare against, and you do not need one. Your starting point comes from your own racquet and the string construction you choose.
- Look up your frame’s published range in the racquet tension range table.
- Choose your string construction and playing objective in the starting-tension calculator.
- After restringing, take a fresh-string baseline reading and judge later readings by relative change, alongside feel and hours played.
Emma Navarro string setup FAQ
Sources and methodology
The manufacturer source establishes the listed equipment. It does not state a tension, assign strings to mains and crosses, or give personal frame specifications, so this profile leaves those fields open rather than estimating them. The catalog row is compared field by field. The manufacturer listing is treated as the stronger identification: on October 3, 2026, catalog strings, gauges and racquet records that differed from it were changed to match. Tension, string direction and any gauge the manufacturer does not state still come from the secondary source. See the parent catalog methodology.
The manufacturer source was checked on 2026-10-03. The secondary source shows the date our catalog accessed it; it was not rechecked for this profile. Publication dates are shown only when supplied by the source; an access date is not a claim that an undated page was published that day. No personal racquet was inspected for this profile.
