THE PREDICTION
World number 34 Elise Mertens made it six wins on the spin with a straight-sets result over Asia Muhammad on Monday, continuing her streak from claiming the Jasmin Open title two weeks ago. The 26-year-old looks like coming back into her usually airtight consistent form on tour after a tricky 12 months but she faces a surprise second round foe here in Anna Kalinskaya after the Russian provided the biggest upset of the Guadalajara Masters so far. World number 73 Kalinskaya broke Barbora Krejcikova’s 10-match winning streak in straight sets on Tuesday and she will go fearless into this first encounter with Mertens off the back of that perhaps career-best result. Backing Mertens to win at least a set looks the suitably cautious move here as a result but the Belgian should be able to find a way through with Kalinskaya’s element of surprise now dissipated.
