Having breezed through her first-round match against Tatjiana Maria, Elise Mertens is up against another lower-ranked player in the second round of the French Open, so the Belgian should expect herself to thrive. However, Maja Chwalinska is a young player full of confidence, a player who defeated a higher-ranked opponent during the first round, a player who came through three qualifying matches without dropping a set, so do not be surprised if Mertens makes hard work of this.
If you're a regular bettor looking to make money in the long run, then the name of game is value for money. Betting the Polish player here at odds of +200 offers value for money. Chwalinska is a player on the up and the momentum that she has behind her is not to be ignored, especially as she's up against a player who is far from unfamiliar with disappointing as the favorite.

Our Maja Chwalinska vs Elise Mertens Prediction
Elise Mertens did confirm favoritism when beatiing Tajiana Maria during the first round, and that effort should mean that the Belgian comes into this match feeling confident. However, she's not the only one thriving right now. Young player Maja Chwaliinska has come through three qualifers and the first round without dropping a set. She's clearly very talented and is a player on the rise, one who is loving the conditions at Roland Garros.
If we consider how Elise Mertens went out to a lower-ranked player at Roland Garros last year, considering also that her opponent has beaten some decent players on clay of late, then Chwalinska looks a little generously priced.
