Emma Navarro vs Jessica Pegula prediction
Emma Navarro came from a set down to win her opening match against Anhelina Kalinina at the Cincinnati Open. The American won five games in a row at one point as she levelled the match up and broke at the start of the decider. She went on to win 3-6 6-4 6-2 after two hours and 16 minutes. It was an unusual serving display from Navarro, who fired 15 aces and won 82% of her first serve points despite landing just over 50% of her first serves and having to fend off nine break points.
She now faces Jessica Pegula. The world number three returned to winning ways after getting past Simona Waltert. Pegula conceded just five games as she won 6-3 6-2 after one hour and 31 minutes.
Pegula leads the head-to-head 3-0 and 2-0 on outdoor hard court. She possesses the more effective return and greater ability to take the ball early, and she will be expected to continue her unbeaten record against Navarro.
