Seventh seed Karolina Muchova will play the unseeded Elise Mertens in the second round in Stuttgart. Their third career meeting comes five years after their last. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Elise Mertens is competing in Stuttgart for the third consecutive season. Last season, she recorded her best finish yet in this event after making it to the quarter-finals.
As a clay court specialist, she will be looking to challenge for the title this time around. The world number 20 defeated the wildcard Ella Seidel in straight sets in the first round to claim her 16th win of the season.
Karolina Muchova has been in superb form in 2026 and will be looking to continue with this as she switches to clay. The Czech star has lost just four matches in 23 outings.
She has made it to at least the semi-finals in three events and was crowned champion in Doha. The 29-year-old is making her Stuttgart return this week after five years away and has had a winning start.
Facing off with the qualifier Aliaksandra Sasnovich, the world number 12 won in straight sets. This was her first win on clay since 2024 and her first-ever win in this event.
