Elise Mertens is the 20th seed in this week’s WTA event in Toronto and begins her tournament in the second round against Anna Bondar. This is the second meeting between the two at the Canadian Open, and our prediction backs Mertens to win two in two.
Mertens defeated Bondar in the opening round of the 2022 Canadian Open. On her return to the tournament after two years, she hopes for a similar outcome to mark a winning start to the week.
Mertens returns to action in Canada after spending almost a month in recess. The Belgian last took to the court at Wimbledon, where she lost in the quarter-finals.
A winner of 24 matches so far this year, Mertens will start her campaign in Toronto 22nd in the live ranking.
Anna Bondar has moved up six places to 71st in the live ranking after making a winning start to her week. The Hungarian, who has been in strong form since last week, won in straight sets against Anhelina Kalinina in the first round.
Bondar, who arrived in Toronto after finishing as runner-up in Hamburg, has won six times in her last eight outings. Following the win over Kalinina, her very first at this WTA 1000 event, Bondar has improved to 26 total wins this season.
