Eighth seed Emma Navarro will meet Taylor Townsend in the first quarter-final of the 2024 Canadian Open. The Saturday clash will be the two players' first career matchup at tour level. Here’s an analysis of the players’ stats leading up to this match and our prediction.
Navarro is having a strong debut in Toronto and has won both her matches in straight sets. She defeated Magda Linette to begin her campaign and then Marta Kostyuk. With the wins, the American's superb season got better, improving her record to 43-17. She has claimed 22 of her victories on hard courts.
Navarro, who won her maiden tour title in Hobart at the start of the season, has played in four tour semis this year. Advancing to this round has propelled the 23-year-old to a new career high world placing. She is now 13th in the live ranking.
Taylor Townsend advanced to the main draw as a lucky loser. The American has grabbed the chance and is having her best-ever performance at a WTA 1000 event. Townsend, who is also debuting in Toronto, has won all her three matches in straight sets.
She defeated Dayana Yastremska in the first round and then Canadian Marina Stakusic. To advance to this round, the 28-year-old dominated fourth seed Jelena Ostapenko. She lost just three games against the current world number 11.
Townsend is having a rocky season and comes to this game having compiled a 17-16 record. With 15 of her wins coming on hard courts, she will be confident of upsetting another favorite.
The winner here will play one of Amanda Anisimova, Anna Kalinskaya, Katie Boulter or Aryna Sabalenka for a place in the final.
