Emma Navarro vs Clara Tauson prediction
Clara Tauson will hope to pull off a shock and secure back-to-back victories for the first time since February when she meets ninth seed Emma Navarro.
The Dane ended a three-match losing streak when qualifier Katie Volynets retired at 7-5 4-1 down in the second round.
However, the 22nd seed’s losing record against top ten players is pretty weak at 2-8 and the ice-cool Navarro has been strong on clay so far this year.
The American breezed to a 6-1 6-3 success over Kamilla Rakhimova but will need to record a first win over the Scandinavian having lost 6-2 6-4 on the dirt in an ITF W100 in Madrid two years ago.
Tauson certainly has the game to cause another upset here but her inconsistency of late and Navarro’s solid baseline tennis may scupper her hopes this time around.
