Third seed Diana Shnaider will take on fifth seed Elise Mertens in the quarter-finals of the Monterrey Open. This will be their third meeting of the season and their second overall on a hard court. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Diana Shnaider eliminated Kamila Rakhimova to mark her return to Monterrey after a two-year absence. The Russian won in straight sets against her compatriot to snap a run of three consecutive losses.
Year 2025 has marked a difficult campaign for the 21-year-old who burst onto the scene last year. She has compiled a shaky 20-19 record and has yet to play beyond the quarter-finals of a tour event.
However, the world number 22 did defeat Mertens in Rome in May, and as a result, will arrive for this tie full of confidence.
Elise Mertens had won the first two meetings with Shnaider before they duelled in Rome. One of those successes came in Monterrey two seasons ago on her way to recording her best result in this event.
A former semi-finalist in Nuevo Leon, Mertens has also defeated Shnaider this season on clay in Stuttgart. Champion in Singapore and Hertogenbosch, Mertens is having a strong year and has compiled a 32-15 record and moved back to 20th in the live ranking.
The Belgian defeated former Monterrey champion Donna Vekic 2-0 in the last round.
