THE PREDICTION
This should be a well-contested first encounter between world number 37 Elise Mertens and number 67 Xinyu Wang. 27-year-old Mertens ended last season with victory at the Jasmin Open to save what had been a poor year in singles, by her lofty standards, and there have been signs of improvement this year with her run to the semi-finals of the Monterrey Open last week encouraging. 21-year-old Xinyu Wang reached the semi-finals of the Hua Hin Championships in early February before some reasonable results in Mexico more recently and she continues to steadily improve on tour. Mertens’ last four defeats have come at the hands of top 10 players, past or present, and that suggests he can be backed to come through unscathed here. Back the Belgian to win in straight sets.
