Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Elise Mertens vs Caroline Garcia
Elise Mertens:
After Wimbledon, Mertens had only one victory in three hard-court matches. Obviously, she was not in the best shape to start in Cincinnati. Nevertheless, she qualified for the 1/8, which is a success.
Mertens got off to a strong start against Anhelina Kalinina (6-1, 6-1). Next up was a tough match against Karolina Pliskova (7-6, 6-3). The first set against Pliskova was crucial as Elise battled back twice to win the tie-break. In the second set, her advantage was more tangible.
In 7 of Mertens’ last 10 matches, more than 21.5 games have been played.
