Elise Mertens Player Overview
Mertens also secured a confident victory in her first match in Madrid. She faced Colombian Osorio and overcame her in an hour and a half. Yes, Osorio made quite a few errors, and the second set dragged on for an entire hour, but Mertens managed to navigate through this tricky tennis to claim the win. However, against Sabalenka, her chances are admittedly slim. Even their head-to-head history suggests that the Belgian can at best hope to win just one set and nothing more.
