First final on grass for both of them!

Marie Bouzková, right-handed, 27 years old, No. 27 WTA, 4th seed, is playing the final of her life on grass. She has never won a title on grass, she comes in with a solid run since the start of the week but with one constant that doesn’t change: zero tiebreaks won on grass in 2026. She is holding serve at a remarkable level, saving break points well, and she crushed Maria 7–5 6–0 in the semifinal after being down 4–0 in the first set. Her break-point conversion remains her Achilles’ heel on grass this year, and against a player like Navarro who defends well and comes back from far behind in matches, this weakness can become decisive.

Emma Navarro, right-handed, 25 years old, No. 25 WTA, 3rd seed, is also in her first grass-court final. She comes in with the better grass record over the last 52 weeks of the two: 8–4 (66.7%) versus 5–3 (62.5%) for Bouzková. She converts 50.0% of her break points compared with 42.6% for the Czech, she wins 41.7% of her return games versus 35.8%, and she wins her tiebreaks at 33.3% compared with 0.0% for Bouzková. She won Strasbourg on clay in 2026 and has shown all week an ability to come back in tough matches, notably against Starodubtseva where she turned around a third set from a break down. Her serve is less dominant than Bouzková’s, but her return and her conversion make the structural difference on grass.
