Elise Mertens vs Elsa Jacquemot prediction
Elise Mertens lost in the third-round of the US Open last time out, despite going a break up in the decider against Cristian Bucsa. The Belgian has still enjoyed a strong season, with two titles and another final appearance. She is seeded first and will be seen as one of the favourites to win the event.
She faces Elsa Jacquemot in the round-of-16. Jacquemot produced a fine display in the previous stage as she defeated former world number three Maria Sakkari 6-2 6-0. The match was suspended with Jacquemot already leading by a break, and she came back to win in dominant fashion, winning 80% of her first serve points and not even facing a break point.
Mertens will still be the clear favourite given her standing but Jacquemot will be on a high after her performance in the first-round. Nevertheless, the Belgian should be expected to make it through.
