The quarter-finals of the grass court Libema Open see third seed Elise Mertens face Lucky Loser Yue Yuan. The winner of this match will be up against either second seed Ekaterina Alexandrova or eighth-seeded Veronika Kudermetova in the last four. Here's our match prediction.
Elise Mertens has made smooth progress into the Libema Open quarter-finals. Her two matches against Viktorija Tomova and Maria Sakkari were both won without a set being lost. Even more impressive is the fact two of her four sets won were to love.
The 29-year-old has now won 23 of her 34 matches played in 2025. Mertens is 25th in the live rankings but will climb a place if reaching the semi-finals. This is her first grass court quarter-final since 2019.
Yue Yuan thought her Libema Open run was over when losing in the second qualifying round to Carson Branstine. Then came a reprieve and reinstatement as a Lucky Loser. It's gone much better for the 26-year-old since then with two good wins.
Round one saw the world number 84 beat Anastasija Sevastova in straight sets. No sets were dropped either in her second round victory over unseeded Kimberly Birrell. Now she faces her first seed and we tip Elise Mertens to win in straight sets.
