Who will win Fernandez vs Mertens?

Elise Mertens. Agatha gives Mertens a 54% chance to win and predicts a 2-0 win in sets. It is Agatha's prediction for this match, sealed and graded like every pick.

Why Agatha picks Mertens

In their last meeting Mertens won 6-2, 6-2 in Round 1 of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on the main tour. She also beat Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-3 in Round 4 of the China Open on Oct 7, and Iga Swiatek 7-6, 6-3 in the quarterfinal of the China Open on Oct 9. Agatha picks Mertens to win, slightly better than even, and predicts straight sets. The risk is that Mertens has lost two matches in a row, the latest at the Dongfeng Voyah Wuhan Open.
