THE PREDICTION

World number 44 Elise Mertens is better than her current deflated WTA ranking suggests and she proved that with a composed performance against Qiang Wang, handing the Chinese a first-set bagel. The 26-year-old recently reached the round of 16 at the Cincinnati Masters before defeat to eventual champion Caroline Garcia, beating Karolina Pliskova in the round before as proof of her intermittent level right now. World number 82 Claire Liu grabbed one of the results of her season, though, with a stunning straight-sets victory over seventh-seed Alison Riske-Amritraj. However, the 22-year-old has been struggling in recent weeks, with her victory on Monday snapping a four-match losing streak, and a first meeting with Mertens with a win in the Belgian’s legs should prove too much here. Back Mertens to win outright, probably in two.
