Emma Navarro vs Maya Joint prediction
Joint stepped up her game to edge past Martinez Cirez in her opener here. She looked down and out multiple times in the decider, but raised her level when it mattered to get the job done. It was also her maiden main draw win at the WTA 1000 level.
Navarro has had a rather lukewarm season so far; however, in her last two appearances, she gathered a few wins under her belt. bagging two wins in the Charleston open eventually being ousted by Amanda Anisimova in the quarterfinals. Then defeating Beatriz Haddad Maia in the first round in Stuttgart. Giving her a competitive edge over Joint.
Joint is a rising young talent. She's got the game to give the big guns a run for their money, but she's still honing her craft. Navarro's accomplishments make her the favorite to win this showdown. However, seven of her nine losses this year have come against players outside the top 20. Thus, it wouldn't be surprising to see her lose this contest as well.
Pick: Emma Navarro to win in three sets.
