Viktoriya Tomova vs Elise Mertens prediction
Viktoriya Tomova suffered a desperately disappointing clay season, as she extended her losing record to seven matches and went out in the earliest stage of five out of the six tournaments she competed in. She lost to Veronika Kudermetova in the first-round of Roland Garros before dropping down to play a 125k event in Bari. She finally got back to winning ways but only made the quarter-finals as the second seed.
She has a tough opening match against third seed Elise Mertens. The Belgian is coming off the back of a surprising first-round loss to Lois Boisson at Roland Garros, though the French woman would go on to make an incredible run to the semis. The Belgian has struggled to find consistency since winning the Singapore Open in early February.
This will be their first match on grass, but Mertens did win their previous match in Dubai back in 2021 in the first-round. The Belgian should get her grass court campaign off to a winning start here in comfortable fashion.
