Emma Navarro vs Beatriz Haddad-Maia Prediction, Picks, Odds, H2H, News, 5/22/24

American Emma Navarro continues to impress on clay and will be tested against Beatriz Haddad-Maia in Strasbourg on Wednesday. This ‘other’ event in France may not be as high-profile as the French Open but it won’t stop this second-round affair from being important to these two ladies. Ej’s Navarro vs Haddad-Maia prediction features odds at +143 which can be found below.
Navarro made quick work of Alize Cornet in her first-round match in Strasbourg, this after a run to the Finals at the Paris Challenger event.
Haddad-Maia enters this event as the 2-seed among the favorites to win her sixth career title on clay. The Brazilian is the underdog in this affair at +125, while the young American lands the favorite role at -140.

NAVARRO VS HADDAD-MAIA PREDICTION: TAKING IT TO THE LIMIT
- Prediction: Match Total Over 2.5 Sets
- Best Odds: +143
- Bookmaker: Unibet
- Stakes: 3/10
Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time May 22, 2024. Odds may now differ.
At +1400 to win the hardware, Haddad-Maia is the underdog in this clash with Navarro so the line setters expect the Brazilian to be sent packing early anyway.
As well as Emma has been playing this clay season, getting past Haddad-Maia on clay will take some work. I predict a lengthy match that goes the distance, and I expect each woman to take a set in this match.
Navarro’s ability to stay composed and break her opponent’s serve has been impressive this season, and she used that to her advantage in her run to the finals in Paris.
Revenge will be on the mind of the American youngster after Haddad-Maia beat her in Madrid, 6 – 4, 6 – 4. Navarro had her serve broken three times in that match, and the last break was the one that came at the wrong time.
Tied at 4 – 4 after losing the first set, Navarro blew her chance to take a 5 – 4 lead, and Haddad-Maia simply held serve and moved on in Madrid. Beatriz lost to eventual winner Iga Swiatek in Spain.
At +110, Haddad-Maia will win the first set, and Emma must make a comeback to force the third set. She will accomplish that and won’t fall apart again should she get in that same position of serving in a big spot this time. Expect three sets to be played, and enjoy the +143 on the Over 2.5 Sets prop. My Navarro vs Haddad-Maia prediction is for there to be at least 3 sets.
EMMA NAVARRO RECENT FORM
Navarro is 9 – 4 on clay this season, and 1 – 0 in Strasbourg after dismantling Alize Cornet. At 31 – 11 this year, Emma has jumped to 24th in the WTA World Rankings.
BEATRIZ HADDAD-MAIA RECENT FORM
Haddad-Maia accumulated an 8 – 9 record before clay season arrived, and her record on the dirt is a mere 5 – 3 in 2024. Despite being ranked #2 in this event in the bottom bracket, she isn’t even favored to win her first match in Strasbourg.
NAVARRO VS HADDAD-MAIA H2H – STAT OF THE MATCH
Navarro and Haddad-Maia have met twice, both meetings happening on clay.
In 2021, Navarro earned a straight-set win in Charleston over Haddad-Maia, and the Brazilian returned the favor in Madrid last month with a win in straight sets.
