The first quarterfinal showdown in the women’s draw at the US Open will be staged on Tuesday evening, as Emma Navarro bids to keep American dreams alive of a home Grand Slam success. However, she faces a fascinating battle against Spanish star Paula Badosa.

Before Betting On Paula Badosa vs Emma Navarro

American star Emma Navarro will have a passionate home support in her favor at Flushing Meadows on Tuesday, as she bids to become the first female player to book their spot in the semi-final stage. Navarro has made history at the US Open throughout her career, becoming the first woman to have won the NCAA Championship to reach the last eight at the Slam.

This is currently her best ever showing at the US Open, having failed to make it past the first round in two of the last three years. However, her performances in Slams this season have improved markedly, which includes a run to the last eight at Wimbledon. The American has already seen off some talented rivals this year, which includes three-set victories over seeded rivals such as Marta Kostyuk and Coco Gauff in the last two rounds.

However, the American will face a talented rival in the form of Paula Badosa in the quarterfinal round. The 26-year-old Spanish star, who was born in New York, was previously ranked second in the world back in 2022, and she is a former winner of the WTA 1000 title at Indian Wells.

But, she is yet to better her run at a Grand Slam after reaching the quarterfinal stage at the French Open in 2021. This is already her best showing at Flushing Meadows after previously failing to get past the second round. Unlike Navarro, Badosa is yet to come up against a seeded rival at the US Open this year, but she looked imperious when gliding through her round of 16 tie with Wang Yafan after dropping just three games.

Paula Badosa-125
Emma Navarro+105

Badosa landed a victory over Navarro at the Italian Open earlier this season, but it could be worth siding with the American on Tuesday. She has been playing some of her best tennis of her career at Flushing Meadows, and she appears to have the battling qualities to land a three-set success to reach a first career Grand Slam semi-final.
