One of Monday's WTA Cincinnati matches sees Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula go up against each other. This is an all American clash. It's also an all top-30 clash. On paper, it is very much Jessica Pegula's match to lose, but don't be too shocked if Emma Navarro gets more competitive than the early odds suggest.
Let's be real, it would be a surprise if Jessica Pegula failed to come out on top, but let's not rush to assume that the world number three will have it all her own way. After all, Emma Navarro has picked up a set in each of the last two renewals of this fixture, while Pegula has dropped at least one set in each of her three recent matches against top-50 players. In other words, Navarro looks a little generously priced to win at least one set when the pair meet on Monday.

Our Emma Navarro vs Jessica Pegula Prediction
It's easy to assume that Jessica Pegula will dominate this match, but looking at the early lines, it really is worth betting on Emma Navarro to, at the very least, avoid a straight-set defeat. Navarro bounced back to form by beating Anhelina Kalinina during the first round in Cincinnati, while she's certainly gotten competitive against Pegula before, picking up at least one set in each of her last two matches against the current world number three.
Our Emma Navarro vs Jessica Pegula Pick: Emma Navarro +1.5 Set Handicap.
