Madison Keys vs Emma Navarro preview
14th seed Madison Keys will take on compatriot and 22nd seed Emma Navarro in the third round of the 2024 French Open. Keys has been in fine form in the clay-court season, leading up to Roland Garros.
Trending
The American won the title in Strasbourg defeating the in-form Danielle Collins in the final. Both in Rome and Madrid, Keys made it to the quarter-finals before losing to top seed Iga Swiatek.
In the opening rounds of the French Open, Keys has shown the same form and dispatched her opponents easily. In the first round, she overcame Renata Zarazua in a straight sets victory but faced a sterner test in the second-round match against Mayar Sheriff Keys.
Even though the American got a bagel in the first set, Sheriff took her to a tiebreak in the second set. Keys had to save multiple set points to close the match out in the second set and not take it to a decider.
Emma Navarro's form before the French Open has not been the most promising. Despite being a seeded player in the tournaments, she has struggled to progress beyond the initial rounds. She lost twice to Beatriz Haddad Maia in the second rounds of Strasbourg and Madrid. At the Italian Open, she lost to Paula Badosa in the opening round despite being one set up.
At Roland Garros 2024, Navarro has faced two different kinds of matches. In the first match against Zeynep Sonmez, she won easily in straight sets while bageling her opponent. In the second round against former Roland Garros finalist Sara Errani, Navarro had to dig deep to win in straight sets despite her serve being broken four times.
Madison Keys vs Emma Navarro head-to-head
The head-to-head between the two players stands at 1-1, with Navarro winning the last encounter in Guadalajara in 2023.

Madison Keys vs Emma Navarro prediction
Keys has been in fine form on the red dirt. Her forehand and backhand have been working smoothly in the competition. One of the major strengths of her game is her astounding first serve percentage which was over 80% in the second-round match against Sheriff.
Navarro negotiated through a tricky second-round match against a tough opponent in Errani. The American broke her opponent nine times, indicating she has been in good form while returning serve.
Both the players have had tough second-round matches and will be ready for the battle in this match. However, given that Keys has won a title on the surface recently, and has a tremendous serve, the odds are that she will prevail.
Pick: Keys to win in three sets
