Elise Mertens vs Cristina Bucsa prediction
Elise Mertens faces a tricky third round clash with Cristina Bucsa.
The 19th seed may be ranked 74 places above her opponent but the Spaniard has been flawless at this year’s tournament so far and does have a win over the Belgian to her name, having prevailed in Beijing 11 months ago.
Indeed, the head-to-head stands at 1-1, although Mertens, who has also yet to drop a set in New York this year, did triumph 6-2 6-3 in Doha back in February.
We expect this to be more of a battle than the latter encounter, but still feel Mertens will have the greater consistency and know-how on this stage.
