Emma Navarro vs Beatriz Haddad Maia prediction
Navarro may not be in the best of recent form but she is the outright favorite to win due to her relatively better win-loss record of 17-13 compared to Haddad Maia, who has won just six out 22 matches so far in 2025.
Navarro has an all-court game and has a lot of stamina. She does not produce a lot of aces but her serves are pretty accurate and returning them isn’t particularly easy.
The American reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon last year, which means that she is capable of producing decent performances on grass. She will rely on her versatile shots to baffle Haddad Maia.
The Brazilian is a grinder who hits her shots with a lot of power, and will look to attack from the start of the match. She also has a decent net game, which will come in handy.
With both players having a relentless approach to tennis, it will probably come down to composure to determine the winner. Navarro’s relatively better run of form and her variety could see her get the win and book her place in the quarterfinals of the Queen’s Club Championships.
Prediction: Navarro to win in straight sets.
