Emma Navarro started her Wimbledon campaign in dominating fashion, demolishing Chinese Wang Qiang 6-0, 6-2. The 19th seed has had her best season this year and this has been her most promising win in the last few months. She had made the semifinal in the Bad Homburg Open last week where she went down against Diana Shnaider.

Naomi Osaka on the other hand had to go all the way, barely making it past France’s Diane Parry 6-1, 1-6, 6-4. Last month, she had a brilliant showing at the French Open, going neck and neck with the Queen of Clay and World No.1, Iga Swiatek. Her experience playing Grand Slam events has been helping her claw past opponents and she will face another one in Navarro in the second round of Wimbledon.

Naomi Osaka vs. Emma Navarro: Match Prediction

23-year-old American, Navarro, turned pro in 2019, by when Osaka had already won two Grand Slams. Despite the wealth of experience, the Japanese will be heading into the match as the underdog as Navarro has achieved her best results ever in Slams in the last 10 months and also reached the 4th round at the French Open.

Navarro is seeded 19th and that is also her world ranking. Osaka, a former World No.1, is currently ranked 113. Her results have been inconsistent this year but she is finding her form now. However, Navarro has been in her best form recently and will remain the favorite to win the duel.

Match prediction: Navarro to win in two sets.
