Emilio Nava vs Cameron Norrie prediction
Emilio Nava took full advantage of a kind first round draw, getting the better of Kyrian Jacquet in what was only his third Grand Slam singles victory. The big question is how much did that win take out of Nava going into this second round clash against another player tested physically in round one. Unlike Nava, Cameron Norrie had to come from behind to win, trailing by two sets to one against Benjamin Bonzi before launching a fightback.
It looked like Norrie was going to blast through Bonzi after winning the first set 6-0 but the Frenchman roared back and Norrie had to find his best when it mattered most to secure victory. Inconsistency remains an issue for Norrie but he has that big-game Gland Slam experience and in a win-or-go home Grand Slam encounter cone the early rounds, that can be vital.
Nava already deserves maximum credit for gaining that all important second round place for the first time in his career at Melbourne. But it’s worth backing this to be as far as he goes with Norrie’s baseline power likely to the defining factor.
