Elise Mertens vs Ann Li prediction
Elise Mertens defeated Linda Fruhvirtova 6-4 6-2 in the first-round of Wimbledon. The Belgian has not lost a round one match at the Championships since 2017. Mertens also has six wins on the surface this season after winning the Libema Open a few weeks ago, her first ever title on the surface.
She will now face Ann Li as she recovered from a slump in the second set to defeat Viktorija Golubic 6-3 4-6 6-1. This was the second career win at the All England Club for Li, who won the girls’ singles title here in 2019.
This is a rematch of this year’s Singapore Open final, which is Li’s best moment of the season by a distance. Despite her brilliant run to the final, Mertens comfortably won that day, defeating the American 6-1 6-4 to clinch the title. The 24th seed has made a good start at the Championships and it is likely to maintain her level against Li in the second-round.
