Osorio Serrano vs Mertens Prediction 31 January 2025

Will Camila Osorio lose to Elise Mertens for the third consecutive time? A great question that we addressed in our prediction for the third-round match in Singapore. On the hard court, the ladies will face each other for the first time, adding some intrigue to the upcoming battles.

Camila Osorio

For Osorio, almost every title race is accompanied by colossal stress, as she is not able to dominate her competitors. Camila adheres to a very specific playing style, which does not allow her to be maximally effective in any circumstances. On these courts, the Colombian lost a set in both matches, experiencing significant problems with her serve (nine breaks and eight double faults). Earlier, the South American quickly exited the Australian major at the hands of Ons Jabeur, recording 18 actively won points to her name.

Elise Mertens

Mertens has already delighted with a magnificent performance in the new season (top-2 Hobart). But she failed to break the resistance of McCartney Kessler. Elise has long requalified into a doubles specialist. However, even in singles, she is still capable of pleasantly surprising. Today, the Belgian took the upper hand over Tatjana Maria in a no-compromise fight, converting 60% of break points (six out of ten). The tennis player is just a small step away from returning to the top-30 of the world ranking, which surely serves as a motivating factor as well.

Editorial Prediction

In this encounter, Mertens, in our opinion, will once again break Osorio's resistance. Elise is well aware of how to exploit all of Camila's obvious weaknesses, and we believe that there will be no revenge once again. A victory for the Belgian with a handicap of -2.5 is a logical choice for the match.
