Jasmine Paolini v Emma Navarro Head to Head
This will be their first meeting on the WTA Tour.

Paolini in Good Form
Jasmine Paolini of Italy will start the week inside the top 40 with a career-best singles ranking. The 27-year-old achieved this feat following a historic quarterfinal showing in the Cincinnati Masters.
Paolini, who has always been somewhat of a clay-court specialist, rose to the occasion in the WTA 1000 event as a qualifier. After clearing the opening matches with ease – which may also be due to a comfortable draw – she faced her first real test in the round of 16 when she met Elena Rybakina.
Lady luck, however, continued to favour Jasmine; Rybakina retired in the match at 6-4, 2-5, giving the Italian a walkover into the final eight. Facing the 7th seed Coco Gauff, the match ended in a straight-set loss for Paolini at 3-6, 2-6.
All in all, her season tally now stands at 29-22. Paolini’s highlights came on clay courts – notably by reaching the final in WTA Palermo and Makarska Challenger and winning the title in Florence 125.

Navarro Hard at Work
Emma Navarro, age 22, will compete in Cleveland with 45 wins and just 18 losses this season.
The youngster has worked relentlessly in 2023 to build her form and experience, winning three ITF titles and taking home the runner-up silverware in two more. In addition, Navarro reached her maiden WTA 125 final in Bastad last month and the semis in WTA Bad Homburg in June.
Since then, Emma has competed in the quarterfinal in Palermo and round two in Lausanne. Most recently, she featured in Cinci as a qualifier, where she did move past the likes of Leylah Fernandez and Rebecca Marino in the prelims. However, she fell to Petra Martic in the opening round.
All in all, Navarro has shown a great deal of promise this year. The current #53 has moved up beautifully in the rankings after starting outside the top 140.
Paolini v Navarro Prediction and Tip
This is an interesting match; Navarro is the favourite for me on account of her home advantage and impeccable versatility across all three courts. Expect many games.
Tips:
- Low-Risk Tip: Over 20.5 games: 5/6 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Navarro to win: 1/1 (with bet365)
