Lucky loser Panna Udvardy is set to meet Elise Mertens in the second round at WTA Monterrey. The two will be facing off for the third time in their careers. Mertens holds the head-to-head advantage, and this prediction tips her to prevail.
After a four-year absence, Udvardy is back in Monterrey, where she exited in the first round on her debut. This time she started from the qualifiers where she lost to Darja Vidmanova.
The Hungarian would, however, get a second chance as a lucky loser and made the most of it, beating Maya Joint in the first round. A finalist in Bogota, Udvardy has had trouble scaling the second round, compiling a 3-7 record.
Mertens hasn’t had to go through the rigors of the qualifiers like her opponent here. It means she comes here well rested and ready to extend her lead in this fixture.
In the earlier two meetings with Udvardy, Mertens won both in straight sets. A quarter-finalist in Wimbledon, Mertens will see this as the chance to advance to her third last-eight this season.
Undeniably, the second round has been one of her toughest, with seven defeats, but Udvardy should be a manageable opponent. In the last round Mertens rose from a set down to beat Diane Parry.
Sitting 24th in the live ranking, Mertens has compiled a 25-16 record.
