Mertens vs Jabeur: who is better prepared for the match?
In the third round of US Open Elise Mertens will play against Ons Jabeur on September 3. Who will take the victory in this match? You can find the answer in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Elise Mertens
BelgiumIn recent tournaments Elise Mertens was not looking impressive and failed to satisfy her fans. Tournaments at Montreal and Cincinnati were unsuccessful for her - Belgian player recorded only one victory, over Podoroska.
In New York Mertens was close to elimination in the first round. She managed to record a victory over Peterson only on a tiebreak in the decisive set (3:6, 7:6, 7:6). In the second round World No. 16 player recorded an easy victory over a low-ranked Grammatikopoulou (6:2, 6:2). Overall, Mertens is in a poor form, so we can't give a positive prediction about her performance in New York.
Ons Jabeur
TunisiaIn two most recent New York tournaments Ons Jabeur was eliminated in the third round. Tunisian player surely wants to improve that result. She has a great chance to advance into the round of 16.
In first round Jabeur managed to record a victory in a contested match against Cornet (7:5, 7:5). Then Jabeur completely destroyed Osorio Serrano (6:1, 6:0), so African athlete is approaching the match against Mertens in a good mood.
