The second round of the WTA 1000 in Madrid will introduce the top seed players to the main draw, and even when Emma Navarro isn’t one of the candidates to reach the final instances of the tournament, the bookmakers’ odds show her as the favorite to defeat Nadia Podoroska next Thursday, April 25th.
However, it is a fact that Nadia Podoroska is right now in a good shape as she has already won a championship over clay this season, corresponding to the Challenger in San Luis Potosi. Despite that very good moment, it is also important to remark that she lost 2 matches in a row during her participation in the WTA’s 250 in Bogota and Rouen, where her biggest failure was during her match against the Brazilian, Laura Pigossi, as Podoroska was the favorite to win.
On Emma Navarro’s side, the American started the clay season on a very disappointing way after failing to advance from the round of 16 in the WTA in Charleston, where she was a candidate to advance, at least, a couple of rounds, but she got eliminated by Jaqueline Cristian in a three sets match (3-6, 7-5, 1-6). With that in mind, Navarro’s main objective should be advancing to the round of 16 in Madrid where she most likely would face Maria Sakkari.
