Emma Navarro faces Ukrainian power hitter Dayana Yastremska in a third-round showdown at the Canadian Open in Montreal.
Yastremska, seeded 30th, advanced with a tight comeback win over Camila Osorio.
Navarro, the 8th seed, rolled past the Canadian wildcard Rebecca Marino in a dominant 6–1, 6–2 show. That’s exactly the type of momentum Navarro needs as she faces a much tougher competitor and looks to break through the mid-tournament ceiling that has defined her year after claiming the Merida Open Akron title in March.
Yastremska has won no titles this year, but has had some impressive runs, making the Round of 32 at Wimbledon after defeating Coco Gauff.
Yastremska-Navarro Head-to-Head
Yastremska holds a 1–0 lead in their only previous meeting, winning 6–2, 2–6, 6–1 in the 2024 Australian Open third round.
What to Watch
Navarro relies on court intelligence. She mixes high topspin, drop shots, and slice to disrupt pace.
Yastremska brings raw aggression and power, but can be streaky. Control of point construction — especially off first shots — should determine the outcome.
Prediction
Navarro in three tight sets. This match will be close, with Yastremska pushing this to three sets, but Navarro will prevail.
