Emma Navarro vs Kamilla Rakhimova prediction
Emma Navarro should have too much firepower when she meets lucky loser Kamilla Rakhimova in the second round.
The Russian world number 85 lost in qualifying but took full advantage of a reprieve to beat Xin Yu Wang 6-3 6-2.
The 23-year-old has struggled to make much impact on tour this year and tenth seed Navarro is likely to be too consistent in all departments for there to be a chance of an upset.
