THE PREDICTION

World number 34 Elise Mertens enjoyed a surprising run to the Jasmin Open title two weeks ago to take a five-match winning streak into the Guadalajara Masters. The 26-year-old had been enduring one of her poorer years on tour, at least in singles, but a seventh career title could be the turning point needed to get back inside the top 20 next season. World number 185 Asia Muhammad qualified well this weekend to make the main draw in Mexico and the 31-year-old will be hoping to start as well as her previous Masters campaign in Toronto, where she stunned Madison Keys in straight sets. Mertens is the kind of player to push on rather than falter after an upturn in form and the week since her trophy should have helped in that effort to avoid an early upset here. Back the Belgian to win outright here, probably in two.
