Aryna Sabalenka vs Elise Mertens prediction

Aryna Sabalenka continues her charge for a fourth Grand Slam title against Elise Mertens.

The world number one ended Emma Raducanu’s hopes of a deep run with a hard-fought 7-6 6-4 win in the third round while the Belgian 24th seed shocked in-form Elina Svitolina. 

This will be a 13th meeting between the pair with Sabalenka leading 10-2 and winning the last nine in a row. 

They have only met once on grass way back in 2018 with the Belarusian triumphing in Eastbourne. 

Mertens has only won one set against Sabalenka in their last eight matches and the match-up just doesn’t suit her at all. 

The top seed will expect to progress and the odds will favour the number of sets or games markets rather than an outright result.
