Emma Navarro vs. Coco Gauff
Gauff has looked absolutely tremendous early in this tournament, but I’m still not a big believer in her game on much faster surfaces. At some point, somebody is going to have the rally tolerance required to hang with Gauff in longer points and ultimately exploit her lack of finishing power on the forehand side. And there’s really no reason that can’t be Navarro. This season, Navarro is an impressive 33-14. There really aren’t many players on the planet that are playing better than her, and it really feels like the American rarely comes out flat. That said, I trust her to play some good tennis, even on this big of a stage. And I like her playing style in a match like this.
Navarro played some great tennis in Bad Homburg before heading over to Wimbledon, and I expect her to be a real factor on this surface for a very long time. Navarro has the ability to extend points, she has quick, compact motions from both wings and she knows how to play at the net. Overall, I’d say that Navarro has a great understanding of what she wants to do on a tennis court, and I think Gauff sometimes takes some time to figure it out. That said, I think Navarro is going to win a set in this match, and I can see her pouncing and winning the first. But I also think Navarro is going to have her chances to win this one. You just never know when Gauff’s forehand is going to break down, and Navarro also has the returning ability to frustrate the world No. 2. Navarro has also come a long way since their match at the ASB Classic in January.
Bet: Navarro +1.5 Sets (+102 – 1.5 units) + Navarro ML (+300 – 0.5 units)
