THE PREDICTION
World number 42 Elise Mertens played well to beat rising star Diana Shnaider in straight sets on Tuesday, handing the Russian a first-set bagel in the process. The 27-year-old has struggled to impose herself on the tour in recent months but she is too good a player to stay down for long and it would be a surprise to see her fall here. World number 160 Elena-Gabriela Ruse upset Merida Open champion Camila Giorgi on Wednesday but the Italian was always going to be vulnerable after winning a title. 25-year-old Ruse is far better than her current ranking suggests but she has not been able to find her best level since returning from injury late last season. A first meeting should be going Mertens’ way in two sets.
