Emma Navarro vs Marie Bouzkova Prediction

Both women will contest a first WTA grass-court final and it’s an intriguing matchup because they haven’t faced each other. Navarro and Bouzkova have nearl similar profiles. Neither player is likely to overwhelm the other from the baseline. Both are so good at extending rallies, absorbing pace and making opponents work for every point. But the aggressive still remains with Navarro. I’m backing the American to cap off the week in Nottingham with her second title of the season.
