Elise Mertens vs Elsa Jacquemot Tips

Elise is the more experienced player of the two and has been playing at a much higher level, so she should come out on top.

Jacquemot began the tournament with a 2-0 win over Maria Sakkari. She has secured six wins in her last eight matches, which means good form. Despite winning the first set, Mertens suffered an unexpected 2-1 loss to Cristina Bucsa in her most recent game. In her previous two appearances in Guadalajara, Mertens was eliminated in the second round each time.

Elise is the higher-ranked and better of the two on this surface, but Jacquemot was outstanding in the first round and could well take a set in this one.

Mertens is coming off a 2-1 loss to lower-ranked Cristina Bucsa. She has suffered five defeats in her last ten matches. Jacquemot won in just two sets against Sakkari in the opening round. She has recorded 6 wins in her last 8 matches, including a victory against Bouzkova.

For this match, surely Mertens is the huge favorite to win. Jacquemot is a good player, who just sent home Sakkari, but against Mertens, I'll predict the Belgian player to win.
