Emma Navarro, who finished 8th in the 2025 Canadian Open in Montreal, opened her WTA 1000 run in the second round and approached Canadian wildcard Rebecca Marino at the IGA Stadium on Tuesday, July 29.
Navarro received his first round goodbye and entered the game, while Marino advanced in her opening game after beating Elsa Jacquemot 7-6 (2), 6-1.
Navarro is ranked 11-12th in the WTA and has shown some inconsistencies on the hard court this season. Despite reaching the third round of Madrid's 2025 Australian Open and semi-finals, Maria Sakkari was frustrated in DC's 32 rounds.
Canadian Marino recorded her first home draw champion this year in the first round. Despite her struggles over the overall 2025 struggle, she looked sharp in that match, winning a nervous opening in the second match before cruising the second match.
What to see
Navarro hopes to assert early with her aggressive ground and strong baseline structure. Her ability to redirect and mix slices should apply pressure.
Marino's biggest hope is to use her serve and support from the local crowd to force shorter points and disrupt Navarro's rhythm.
Head to head
Navarro led 2-0. Their most recent match was played at the 2023 Cincinnati Open, where Navarro won 4-6, 6-0, 6-1.
prophecy
Navarro three sets. Navarro is an obvious favorite, but Marino's opener shows she can offer some resistance. Expect Navarro to win in three sets. A tight suit may appear on the card.
