Emma Navarro vs Mirra Andreeva preview
The first round of the 2024 Cincinnati Open will feature a match between 11th-seeded Emma Navarro and young Russian sensation Mirra Andreeva. Navarro has been in great form in 2024, with a 43-17 record and a title at Hobart at the beginning of the year. She last played at the Canadian Open, reaching the semi-final, losing to Amanda Anisimova.
The World No. 15 has also had decent runs at the Grand Slams this year. She reached the third round of the Australian Open, (losing to Dayana Yastremska), the fourth round at Roland Garros (losing to Aryna Sabalenka), and a quarter-final appearance at the Wimbledon Championships, (losing to Jasmine Paolini).
Mirra Andreeva is having a breakthrough season in 2024, on many counts. The young Russian won her maiden WTA title, winning the Iasi Open, defeating Elina Avanesyan in the final. The last tournament the young Russian played was at the Paris Olympics, where she lost against Magda Linette in the first round.
Andreeva has also had decent results on the clay courts, reaching the French Open semi-final (losing to Jasmine Paolini) and the quarter-final of the Madrid Open (losing to Aryna Sabalenka). On the hard courts, her other notable results were reaching the quarter-final of the Brisbane International, losing to Linda Noskova.

Emma Navarro vs Mirra Andreeva prediction
Emma Navarro so far, has shown considerable form on the hard courts. Her only WTA final and title have come on the hard surface. She also made her first WTA 1000 semi-final on the hard courts at the Canadian Open. However, the American player has not won a single main draw match at the Cincinnati Open so far in her career.
Mirra Andreeva's strength has been playing on the clay surface. Her maiden career title and all her major career highlights in 2024 have come playing on the red dirt, including the silver medal she won with Diana Shnaider at the Paris Olympics in the women's doubles.
Given their respective forms, and especially the heard-court form of Navarro, the American is the favorite to clinch this encounter.
Pick- Navarro to win in straight sets.
