Elise Mertens vs Elina Svitolina prediction
Two-time semi-finalist Elina Svitolina will be confident of reaching the last 16 when she locks horns with familiar foe Elise Mertens.
The Ukrainian met the Belgian as recently as last week when she prevailed 7-5 6-4 on the grass in Bad Homburg.
Indeed, this is their third encounter on the turf with Svitolina also winning at Wimbledon two years ago.
The 14th seed also leads the head-to-head 5-3 and has yet to drop a set at this year’s Championships.
Mertens did win a doubles title in SW19 four years ago but has not gone beyond the round of 16 in singles.
The 24th seed needed to come from behind to defeat Ann Li 6-7 6-1 6-2 last time out, but Svitolina will provide a much sterner test and appears to have the form to go with the upper hand on the surface.
