Mirra Andreeva vs Emma Navarro Tips, Prediction & Live Stream - Navarro good value for a return to quarter-finals

Two of the four top 10 players left in the draw, Navarro and Andreeva will know they have a fantastic opportunity to go deep and perhaps even reach the Wimbledon final, with the winner to face either Belinda Bencic or Ekaterina Alexandrova in the quarter-finals, while eighth seed Iga Swiatek - who has never come close to making the title match at SW19 - is the highest-ranked player in the bottom section of this part of the draw. Who will hold their nerve to make the last eight?

I'm going to back the upset here. Andreeva is obviously a massive talent, but her level has dipped from earlier in the season and she's yet to really prove herself on grass. In fact, before this tournament, Andreeva had lost five of her last six matches on grass - and she hasn't faced a top 50 player so far in this event. Meanwhile, Navarro is battle-hardened having survived a pair of former champions in Petra Kvitova and Barbora Krejcikova, while she also beat the likes of Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka at Wimbledon last year. Backing the American to cover and return to the elite eight.

Andreeva was a dominant 6-2 6-2 winner in their only previous meeting in Cincinnati last year.

Andreeva heads into this clash with a 35-10 record on the season and at a current ranking of World No. 7.

The 18-year-old made headlines when she captured back-to-back WTA 1000 titles in Dubai and Indian Wells earlier in the year, however, she's struggled for her best tennis lately.

Indeed, Andreeva has lost her last four quarter-final matches, including at the French Open to No. 361 Loïs Boisson.

Andreeva went down in the opening round of Berlin and the second round of Bad Homburg before arriving at Wimbledon, where she's received a kind draw.

Yet to face a top 50 player, Andreeva has toppled Mayar Sherif, Lucia Bronzetti, and Hailey Baptiste to advance into the R16.

Navarro comes into this showdown with a 24-16 record on the season, maintaining her spot inside the top 10 despite not winning back-to-back matches from Charleston to Bad Homberg.

A quarter-final finish at the Australian Open and winning the WTA 500 title in Merida across the opening two months of the season certainly helped Navarro stay in the top 10, with the American struggling during the clay swing and crashing out in the opening round of Roland Garros.

Despite some shaky form, Navarro has rediscovered some solid tennis this tournament, defeating Veronika Kudermetova and Petra Kvitova in straight sets before recovering from a set down to conquer defending champion Barbora Krejcikova 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the third round.

Navarro will now be looking to improve on a solid 3-1 record in Grand Slam fourth round matches, including beating Coco Gauff at this stage of Wimbledon last year.
