Anna Blinkova vs Emma Navarro prediction

Anna Blinkova made a fabulous recovery in the second set to defeat Magdalena Frech and make it through to the round-of-16. She came from 5-3 down to reel off four straight games and win 6-3 7-5 overall. That makes it three straight wins for the player including qualifying. 

Emma Navarro will be her opponent in the next round after the American second seed received a bye in the first-round. She’s not been at her best during this clay season with three second-round defeats in a row. Her best finish on the surface was her first tournament in early April at the Charleston Open, where she made the quarter-finals.

Blinkova leads the head-to-head 2-1 and won their only encounter on clay, which was in the quarter-finals of this event two years ago. These two have experienced contrasting fortunes since then, with Blinkova regressing and Navarro going from strength to strength. We predict a close one but we expect Navarro to come out on top over three sets.
