Zeynep Sonmez and Cristina Bucsa, both unseeded, will meet in the quarter-finals at the Merida Open. The winner of their first career match will take on Jasmine Paolini or Katie Boulter for a place in the final. Read on for our prediction.
Sonmez is slowly progressing in her quest to win another Merida title. The Turkish number one was crowned champion here in 2024. Last year in her title defence, she was ousted in the quarter-finals.
To advance again to the last eight, Sonmez defeated third seed Ann Li in three sets. It was her eighth win of the campaign, and as a result, she has moved up to 79th in the live ranking. Sonmez arrived in Merida seeking to snap a four-match losing streak.
Cristina Bucsa has had a difficult campaign, but this week she has found some form and will be keen to nurture this. The Spaniard had won only one match in six outings before she arrived to make her Merida debut.
She has won both of her matches without losing a set and has improved to 3-5. Bucsa defeated Donna Vekic in the first round and then the wildcard Marina Stakusic to set up this showdown with Sonmez.
Bucsa, who has won just one tour quarter-final in the last two seasons, is up to 59th in the live ranking.
