Martha Kostyuk

The Ukrainian athlete is holding the current season below her capabilities, and then she did not go any quarterfinals. Kostyuk looked good at the Madrid soil tournaments, where she reached the quarterfinals, and Rome, where she reached the fourth circle. In both cases, it was stopped by the first racket of the world, “neutral” by Arina Sobolenko, but Martha was inferior to the fierce struggle.

The athlete on Rolan Harros played unsuccessfully, where she lost in the first round Sari Baylek – 3: 6, 1: 6. The grass cannot be called a crown coating for Kostyuk, it will play the first match in the season. Last year, there were only two victories in five meetings on herbal courts.

In matches against Sobolenko, Ukrainian showed that she is able to play on the world rating with the leader, there is potential, but stability is not enough.

Emma Navarro

The most striking season is also spent by the American tennis player, because she has 18 victories in 32 meetings, clearly not the indicators that the athlete from the TOP-10 should show. Navarro won one tournament in Mexico this year, although it was the first seeded, so she just managed to confirm the status of the favorite.

The tennis player has already tried this year, at the tournament in London she overcame Brazilian Haaddad Maya in a difficult match – 1: 6, 7: 6, 6: 3, the other party had to play one match. In the quarterfinals, Navarro gave way to another Americans Amandy Anisimova – 3: 6, 3: 6. The game and results show that the athlete is not in the best shape.

Personal meetings

According to statistics, tennis players played twice, both matches took place last year, on Hardy, the score 2-0 in favor of Navarro, although Kostyuk resisted.

Forecast

It is a complex lot for both female athletes who are not in the best shape. An American is considered a small favorite, still it is located above in the ranking.

I am waiting for the tennis players of a complex and unpredictable match, you can expect any result, I put more than 20.5 games. Betking Bookmaker estimates the likelihood of such a result with a factor of 1.70.
