Third seed Elise Mertens will begin her Hertogenbosch title defence with a first-round showdown with the wildcard Bianca Andreescu. This is the first time in seven years that these two are facing off. Though Andreescu has the H2H advantage, Mertens’ six wins in 10 have her as our favorite in this prediction.
Andreescu is back at the Libema Open, where she has produced strong campaigns in the recent past. She will hope her return helps offset her tour struggles this term.
The Canadian has limped at the top level, winning just two of six fixtures. A former finalist in Hertogenbosch, Andreescu has compiled a 23-11 record and currently sits outside the WTA’s top 150. Andreescu has a 2-0 advantage in this fixture.
Elise Mertens will be out to make a strong start in her title defence and set the springboard for her first title of the year. The Belgian was crowned champion here last season after years of failing to advance past the second round.
She is coming off a disappointing second-round French Open exit. That defeat led to her dropping out of the WTA top 20. The 30-year-old is currently ranked 22nd in the live ranking.
She has compiled a 17-10 record and has a fourth-round exit at the Australian Open as her season highlight.
