THE PREDICTION
World number 25 Elise Mertens finished runner-up to Emma Navarro at the Hobart International last month and she lost to the American again in the second round of the Qatar Masters last week. The 28-year-old has so far lost to top 30 opposition, as his her typically dependable way in terms of ranking, in 2024 but world number 37 Lesia Tsurenko is not far from that mark and playing well this year, with a decent run to the third round of the Australian Open and a shock victory over an out-of-sorts Ons Jabeur last week in Doha. The pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record but their most recent meeting was in 2020, when Mertens was much closer to her career-high of 12th sort of form. Back the Belgian to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
TIP: ELISE MERTENS TO WIN A SET
