Emma Navarro vs Oksana Selekhmeteva — 3-6 6-4 6-1

Result

Emma Navarro needed a set to solve Oksana Selekhmeteva, then ran away with it. The No. 23 seed dropped a scrappy opener on Court 17 before tightening her return game and taking it 3-6 6-4 6-1. It was a return-dominated match on both sides — 22 double faults between the two players and only two aces total — but Navarro converted five of eleven break chances and limited the damage on her own serve after the first set. Selekhmeteva, a straight-sets winner over Sinja Kraus in round one, couldn't sustain her early level.

At this Stage

For the second match running, Emma Navarro lost the first set and won anyway. The 23rd seed had needed three sets to see off Paula Badosa in round one; against Oksana Selekhmeteva — a straight-sets winner over Sinja Kraus — she dropped a scrappy opener before her return game tightened, and 3-6 6-4 6-1 followed. It was an odd, attritional contest, 22 double faults and just two aces between the two of them, and it rewarded the player who blinked less. Navarro's third-round assignment is 12th seed Marta Kostyuk, another who needed a comeback to get there — at this stage, Navarro has made the slow start something of a working method.
