Emma Navarro vs Taylor Townsend Preview

Emma Navarro advanced into her maiden quarterfinal at the 2024 National Bank Open in Toronto on her debut appearance. The 23-year-old rapidly improving American defeated Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk 7-5, 7-5 in an hour and 47 minutes.

It was a match with huge swings of momentum, but Navarro held her composure and nerves, first breaking back Kostyuk, who served for the opening set at 5-3. Navarro will need to tweak her serve for the match against Taylor Townsend because she accounted for seven double faults and was broken five times.

Taylor Townsend, for her part, upset former Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-2, 6-1 in an hour. In the victory, the American lefty hammered five aces to one double fault. She landed 73% first serves and won 76% first-serve points (22/29).

Townsend won 55% second-serve points (6/11) and converted six of 11 break points. Having lost in qualifying to Erika Andreeva and needing a lucky loser spot to enter the main draw, Townsend has not dropped a set this week. Can she reach the semifinal in Toronto?

Emma Navarro vs Taylor Townsend Prediction

Navarro’s win over Kostyuk was far from pretty, with plenty of breaks. Townsend, meanwhile, obliterated Ostapenko with a near-perfect performance. The 28-year-old lefty can’t miss a ball within her sight right now since getting into the main draw as a lucky loser. Townsend is the player with the momentum and playing with a lot of accuracy off the ground. We are backing her to win this all-American clash.
