Navarro on course for the title
Not a blank slate on the WTA Tour: Emma Navarro is causing a sensation at Wimbledon 2024 and is among the top eight players in the grass court classic. The American is now aiming to reach the semi-finals and has a feasible hurdle ahead of her with an opponent like Jasmine Paolini.
The Italian – currently ranked seventh by the WTA – is playing an outstanding season and has deservedly reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. Although the performances in the previous rounds should not be diminished, we see the favorite from the United States ahead in this match-up. Our Paolini vs. Navarro betting tip aims for a favorite victory
This assessment is partly due to the results of the head-to-head duels. In the three Head-2-Heads between the two players, Emma Navarro won three times against Jasmine Paolini. Navarro even claimed two of these three victories in this calendar year

Jasmine Paolini – stats & current form
Jasmine Paolini is no flash in the pan after all – the Italian has underlined this once again with her quarter-final appearance at Wimbledon 2024. The WTA world number seven had already caused a sensation at the previous Grand Slam, the French Open 2024, where she only lost to Iga Swiatek in the final.
Nevertheless, the results at the current grass court classic are a big surprise. In previous years, Paolini was barely able to gain a foothold at Wimbledon. The best result was her participation in the main draw. Now the Italian is even among the top eight players and has realistic hopes of reaching the semi-finals.
However, the world number seven faces a difficult hurdle against a player like Emma Navarro. So far, Jasmine Paolini has never won a match against her upcoming opponent.
Jasmine Paolini is a strong return player
The French Open finalist’s strong return game speaks in her favor. Against a player with a strong serve like Emma Navarro, these return skills will certainly be in demand. In the last two rounds, the Italian has already defied opponents such as Andreescu and Keys, although the latter had to retire in the round of 16 due to injury.
Jasmine Paolini has broken her opponents a total of eleven times (!) in these two rounds. If she can build on this success, a coup against Emma Navarro is also a real possibility. The last time the two players met, the Italian lost 2:1. Paolini even lost 0:6 in the decisive third set.
It is therefore understandable that the Italian is approaching the quarter-final against Emma Navarro as the underdog despite her higher WTA ranking. After all, Jasmine Paolini has not been one of the best tennis pros on grass in the past
Emma Navarro – statistics & current form
Emma Navarro is on course for the Wimbledon semi-finals and is now one of the favorites to win the title. Especially after a player like Coco Gauff was eliminated and the top seed Iga Swiatek also had to pull out of the tournament. In the US showdown, Navarro even managed a 2:0 against Gauff.
The 23-year-old played over two sets, winning 66% of her points on her first serve. Navarro was only broken once in ten service games. Consequently, no set was conceded to Gauff. In the three previous rounds, the WTA world number 17 only dropped a single set.
That set loss was against Diana Shneider. After losing the first set against the tournament winner from Bad Homburg, Emma Navarro fought her way back into the match and secured a 2:1 victory. In the previous round, Navarro had already eliminated Naomi Osaka from Wimbledon with a 6:4 and 6:1 win
Underscoring Navarro’s strong service game?
The “sacred grass” at Wimbledon comes in handy for Navarro’s game. The American has not been broken in two of her four matches in the current grass court classic. Quite commendable by WTA standards. Against Wang and Osaka, the WTA World No. 17 even played with a service percentage above the 80% mark.
If the momentum is carried over, the quarter-finalist from the United States should not have too much trouble against a clay court player like Paolini. The bookmakers’ role as favorite is understandable after the strong performances in the last few rounds.
The quarter-final appearance in the grass court classic marked a new milestone in the 23-year-old’s career. Emma Navarro had never before reached the last eight of a Grand Slam
Jasmine Paolini – Emma Navarro head-to-head / H2H record
Jasmine Paolini and Emma Navarro meet for the fourth time. In the three previous encounters, the US player came out on top. Two of these three victories were even without losing a set. It was only in their most recent clash at the Masters in Miami 2024 that Navarro dropped a set to Paolini. Nevertheless, the match was won 2:1
Jasmine Paolini – Emma Navarro tip
Emma Navarro has played an impressive Grand Slam so far and has not only eliminated a top-class player like Naomi Osaka, but also recently prevailed against a player like Coco Gauff – previously considered one of the favorites to win the title. The 23-year-old now faces another feasible hurdle in the quarter-finals.
Emma Navarro will face Jasmine Paolini, a clay court player. The Italian has impressed at Wimbledon in comparison to previous years and has surprisingly reached the quarter-finals. By comparison, her best result at the grass court classic had previously been a place in the main draw
It’s quite possible that Paolini’s run of success will now come to an end against Navarro. At least that’s our prediction for this quarter-final pairing. We are leaning towards a comfortable win for the favorite from the United States. For our Paolini vs. Navarro betting tip on the US American, we use seven units
