The WTA Cincinnati third seed Jessica Pegula will take on 25th seed Emma Navarro in the third round. This match marks the fourth meeting between the two players and will be the third on a hardcourt. Their latest two meetings needed deciding sets, and our prediction here backs an extension of the same.
Navarro is yet to taste victory in this fixture, and ambitions of changing that look slim, as per her recent showings. The American is coming off a three-set win over Anhelina Kalinina in the second round.
That marked only her second win in five matches, but she won at least a set in eight of her last 10 outings. A champion in Strasbourg this year, Navarro has so far compiled a 21-18 record. She is 26th in the live rankings.
This is only the sixth time Navarro has progressed past the second round this season. Pegula will be keen on ensuring her journey ends here.
Pegula herself looks to finally get over the line, being a one-time finalist at this event. Sitting third in the live rankings, her season highlight has been hoisting the Dubai and Charleston gongs.
Pegula has only failed to go past the third round twice this season: at Roland Garros and Madrid. She overcame Simona Waltert in straight sets to get here and has since compiled a 41-11 record.
