Eighth seed Emma Navarro will take on Magda Linette in the second round of the Canadian Open.

Navarro has been knocking on the door to register a strong result this year. She's garnered 36 wins from 52 matches, including a title-winning run in the Hobart International. She also reached the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Championships, where she lost to Jasmine Paolini in straight sets.

The American will enter Toronto on the back of a third round exit in the Paris Olympics. She outfoxed the likes of Julia Grabher and Viktoriya Tomova in the first two rounds, but came up short against Zheng Qinwen in the third. The Chinese No. 1 not only outlasted her but also went on to clinch the Gold medal in the Olympics.

She also reached the quarterfinals of the Internationaux de Strasbourg, where she lost to Madison Keys in straight sets.

The Pole entered Toronto on the back of a second round exit in the Paris Olympics at the hands of Jasmine Paolini. She got back to winning ways against Rebecca Marino in the first round, 6-3, 6-4. Linette will be keen to make a deep run in the Canadian Open.

Emma Navarro has had a long season on the women's tour this year. Her exceptional results around the globe have made her one of the most consistent players so far. She came close to clinching the title in San Diego and Bad Homburg apart from her other stellar results this year.

Linette has also impressed her critics with potent runs in Rouen and Prague. She will be hoping to emulate the same form at Grand Slam tournaments and announce herself as a serious competitor on tour. The Pole has a resilient all-around game with clean groundstrokes off both wings.

Navarro has shown elite fitness levels this year and gotten on the right end of grueling encounters on tour. She will be a clear favorite entering this bout and will be keen to continue her rich vein of form in Toronto. The American's formidable game and high-tactical acumen should be a handful for Linette in the second round.

Pick: Navarro to win in three-sets.
