Jessica Bouzas Maneiro strides on the Rolando Garros clay courts like a fiery matador, gathering all the flamboyance and tenacity with bold strokes to dazzle. Maneiro stands at 71st in WTA, currently holding a 6-4 record and 4-7 on clay in 2025. Her recent loss of 1-6, 3-6 to Ajla Tomljanovic in the QFs at Rabat saw no aces, 2 double faults, a 60% first serve percentage, with just 33% of those points won, 1 out of 8 break points saved, and 3 break points converted.
For clay in 2025, her stats were 70.2% first serve, 58.5% first serve points won, 80.2% second serve, 1.0 aces per match, 4.6 double faults per match, 41% break points saved, 45% break points converted, and 33% tiebreak win rate. Following a QF finish at the Morocco Open and some good runs in Rouen and Madrid, Maneiro's clay game should be getting sharper, but her 4.6 double faults per match might be costly against Navarro's solid consistency.

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Emma Navarro Match Predictions
Emma Navarro sees herself favored due to a clay record of 6-5, 63.5% win rate on first serve points, and a higher WTA 9 ranking when compared with lower-ranked Jessica Bouzas Maneiro (4.33). Maneiro's worrying 4-7 clay record, coupled with her 4.6 double faults per match, is not what you want to see; however, a break-point conversion rate of 45% and tiebreak win rate of 33% do suggest that she will put up a fight.
Navarro overachieved with a Strasbourg semifinal appearance and 59% break-point saves, while Maneiro struggled at Rabat; the latter, though, has 9 double faults that might invite added pressure. I expect Navarro to win in three sets with her consistency.
