WTA London
Navarro E. vs Anisimova A.
🧠 Form & Context
Emma Navarro
🎯 Clutch Comeback: Navarro battled for nearly three hours to outlast Haddad Maia in R1, saving a match point and surviving a 1–6 opening set.
🌱 Grass Pedigree: Semifinalist in Bad Homburg (twice) and Wimbledon quarterfinalist in 2024—she’s shown she can adapt quickly to grass despite a limited schedule.
📉 Inconsistent Stretch: Before London, Navarro had not won back-to-back matches since Charleston in April. But she has a solid 15–6 grass record overall.
🔟 Top-10 Nerves? Since cracking the top 10, she’s still seeking a breakthrough WTA title run—and this week offers a prime chance.
Amanda Anisimova
📈 Career Revival Continues: From No. 442 to No. 15 in under 18 months, Anisimova’s resurgence continues. She hasn’t lost before a QF since Madrid in April.
🇬🇧 Local Domination: Took out two British wildcards (Burrage, Kartal) with a combined scoreline of 24–14. Her win over Kartal was clean, dominant, and just over an hour.
🌱 Quarterfinal Hurdle: Anisimova is 0–4 in grass-court QFs and has never reached a grass semi. Halep denied her at this stage twice in 2022.
🔁 Head-to-Head Grip: Leads Navarro 3–0, including two nail-biters this past year—7–5, 7–6 in Charleston and a 3-setter in Toronto.
