Trending
Following a first-round bye, Navarro commenced her campaign in Montreal against Rebecca Marino in the second round. She started strongly, earning back-to-back break points to go 5-0 up in the first set. Marino eventually held her serve for the first time in the sixth game, before Navarro served out the set in the next game.
The second set was pretty straightforward as well, with Navarro breaking twice and holding her serve to close out the match 6-1, 6-2. With the win, she improved her head-to-head record against the Canadian to 3-0.
Yastremska, who had also received a first-round bye, faced Camila Osorio in the second round. Osorio, who clinched a solid straight-sets win over Bernarda Pera in her opener, continued to build on the momentum against the Ukrainian. She broke twice towards the end of the first set to take the lead.
However, Yastremska fought back to come out on top in a tense second-set tie-break. Although the Ukrainian failed to hold her serve early in the third set, she bagged six of the next seven games courtesy of three break points to win the match 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-2.

Emma Navarro vs Dayana Yastremska prediction
Navarro has not been the most impressive on hard courts this year. She was winless in her last two hard-court tournaments. Despite the concerns, her comprehensive win over Marino will give her much-needed confidence ahead of the third round.
On the other hand, Yastremska showed great determination to register an impressive comeback win over Osorio. She has the head-to-head advantage over Navarro. The Ukrainian also has a better win percentage (64%) this year compared to her opponent (57%).
Although the statistics favor Yastremska, Navarro could potentially win this fixture given her superior overall play. On her day, the American's strong groundstrokes and quick agility could prove deadly.
Pick: Navarro to win in three sets.
