Elise Mertens is competing in Doha as the 16th seed and has made it to the second round, where she will face unseeded Daria Kasatkina. This marks their ninth career meeting and the sixth consecutive on a hard court. Below is our prediction for this match.
Kasatkina has been regressing since the start of last season. A former top 10 player, the 28-year-old is now ranked outside of the WTA top 60 and has been dropping with each week.
Despite claiming victory in the first round, the Russian has plummeted to 64th in the live ranking. Kasatkina battled her way from a first-set loss to oust the qualifier Moyuka Uchijima to land only her second win of the season.
Elise Mertens has often struggled whenever she has been up against Kasatkina. But as she arrives for their latest duel with the better form, she will be confident of dishing out some of the treatment she has received in this fixture.
Mertens has lost just twice in nine outings this season. The Belgian, who helped her nation reach the semi-finals of the United Cup, arrived in Doha after a fourth-round exit in Melbourne.
With this momentum, the world number 22 was able to produce a commanding 2-0 victory over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to start her week.

Our Daria Kasatkina vs Elise Mertens Prediction
Our prediction for Daria Kasatkina v Elise Mertens is for the exact score: 0-2. Kasatkina has a commanding lead against Mertens in their past showdowns, having won six of eight battles. Despite this, we aren't backing her to win their coming duel, as she has struggled with her form for an extensive period.
This season so far, she has lost four of six matches and did not look to be in convincing form in the first round. Mertens, on her part, has been one of the form players in 2026 and breezed past her opening round match.
