Xin Yu vs Mertens Prediction 1 February 2025

Will the semifinal match of the tournament in Singapore between Xinyu Wang and Elise Mertens drag on for a long time? This question is fundamental in our prediction. Previously, the ladies exchanged victories in Indian Wells. It's worth noting that in both instances, there was no significant intrigue (1-6; 4-6 and 6-3; 6-1).

Xinyu Wang

Wang has made tremendous progress recently, thereby closely approaching a rise into the top-30 of the world ranking. Before the break, Xinyu almost conquered a premier mandatory in Wuhan (top-4). However, then she fell to the onslaught of Xinyu Zheng. On these courts, the Chinese player lost two sets over three games, resolving all issues in seven hours and five minutes. Even her serve worked relatively well (five breaks and less than a third of lost points on her first serve attempt at the championship), which allows her to confidently maintain the earned advantage.

Elise Mertens

Mertens was already nearing triumph closely in the new season (top-2 Hobart). But a painful defeat from McCartney Kessler did not allow her to realize grand plans. Elise still sometimes lacks stamina in stressful situations. Though now she looks maximally solid. Today, the Belgian easily dealt with Camila Osorio, converting just under half of her break points (three out of eight). The tennis player once again switched from doubles to singles, which led to a noticeable improvement in results.

Editorial Prediction

In this meeting, in our opinion, no serious preference should be given to anyone. The match holds immense importance for both opponents, and we believe that this time they will delight fans with a bright competitive battle with an unpredictable outcome. Total over - our choice for the match.
