Dayana Yastremska vs Elise Mertens prediction

Elise Mertens will bid to build upon her title triumph at S’Hertogenbosch. 

The Belgian has put aside an indifferent clay swing to make a strong start on grass.

The third seed will now meet Dayana Yastremska who does not have the same level of pedigree on this surface. 

This will be their second meeting and first on grass with the Belgian prevailing comfortably in a Chicago 2 event four years ago. 

Fatigue may have a say given the quick turnaround for Mertens, but if she finds her stride she should have more nous on this surface.
