Donna Vekic of Croatia will open her Wuhan Open campaign against Elise Mertens of Belgium on Monday. Vekic came up short again of reaching the quarterfinal round after bowing to teenage star Mirra Andreeva of Russia 3-6 6-4 6-4. Vekic completed just 49 percent of her first serves and allowed Andreeva to break her service four times. The Croatian is trying to end her quarterfinal drought that began after bagging the silver medal in the women’s singles competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Mertens, the former Australian Open semifinalist and two-time US Open quarterfinalist, lost to Cristina Bucsa of Spain 4-6 6-2 6-2 in round 2 of the China Open. Mertens also scored 78 points against Bucsa’s 100 points scored in their match.

Our Elise Mertens vs Donna Vekić Prediction
Vekic might be going through a bit of struggle recently but she’s 11-5 in first-round matches this year. Both round-of-16 finishers at the 2024 US Open, Vekic and Mertens will play their first match on the WTA Tour, so picking a clear-cut winner is always tricky.

By the way, Vekic has won 76 percent of her matches whenever she takes the first set.
