It's been a trial of endurance for Emma Navarro to reach the quarterfinals. The American demonstrated her resilience with two three-set victories in succession against challenging opponents, namely Ons Jabeur and Daria Kasatkina. Although she boasts a strong baseline game, Navarro's consistency goes out the window, as proven by her saving just 27% of Kasatkina's break points. She compensates with an attacking return game, converting nine break points in her last match. Her 72% first-serve percentage will have to be good enough against Swiatek's returning onslaught.
Iga Swiatek
Polish superstar has been clinical thus far in the Australian Open, proceeding without dropping a single set. Her demolition of Eva Lys, with 100% break-point conversion and 62% first-serve return points won, is all the more telling. Swiatek's cocktail of tactical acuteness and relentless aggression makes her a nightmare to face. Having already had the better of Navarro in their last encounter, Swiatek is expected to control the match from the baseline while trying to exploit the weakness of Navarro over her second serve.
