We're in for another tense first meeting as Elise Mertens takes on Tereza Valentova in the Japan Women's Open. There's no H2H to go by and both players are too close to call an outright winner. See our sharp pick in this Elise Mertens vs Tereza Valentova match prediction below.
Our best bet on this rather tricky game is for it to end in two sets. We've crunched the numbers from both Mertens and Valentova’s recent games, and they've won this bet far too many times not to take it over the match-winner bet. Mertens’ last three singles ended in two sets, and this bet has won in seven of her last ten games.
Valentova, meanwhile, has seen this bet win in four of her last five singles and in a whopping 14 of her last 16 games. It's also good to point out that both players won this bet in their RO32 matchups.
Valentova took care of Alexandra Eala with ease, beating her 6-1,6-2 and giving the game no chance of a third set. Although it was tighter for Mertens, she also took care of Cristina Bucsa in straight sets, winning 7-6 and 6-3.
