Quick Start for Mertens
No. 20 seed Elise Mertens needed just 68 minutes to hustle past Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk in the second round on Saturday.
The Belgian squandered two break points in the first game of the match and then got broken in the second to fall 0-2 behind, but she began to dominate the contest from there on, winning the next nine games in a row and takings a 6-2, 3-0 lead.
Kostyuk finally got on the board again, breaking Mertens in the fourth game of the second set, but that didn’t trouble the World No. 23, who raced away with the next three games for a 6-2, 6-1 victory. This is the second time Mertens has gone past the second round in Indian Wells. She lost in the third round in 2019.
With the win Mertens improved to 9-5 this season. She featured in the fourth round of the Australian Open, was a quarterfinalist in St. Petersburg and was beaten in the Round of 16 in Doha. Having started well at Indian Wells she will be hoping to keep the form going in the next rounds.

Saville Stuns Jabeur
World No. 49 Daria Saville stunned ninth seed Ons Jabeur in the second round on Saturday to advance to the Round of 32.
The Australian, who had come through the qualifiers, had beaten China’s Zhang Shuai 6-3, 6-2 in the first round.
On Saturday, she came back twice from a break down to claim the first set, then failed to convert two match points in the second, before being outplayed by the Tunisian in the second set tiebreak.
The third set too saw both players exchange two breaks each in the first eight games, but Saville got herself ahead again in the ninth game and then served out the match for a 7-5, 6-7 (0-7), 6-4 upset win over the World No. 10.
A quarterfinalist in Guadalajara, Savilla had beaten Kamilla Rakhimova and Magdalena Frech in the two qualifying rounds. Can the Aussie keep the stunning run going?
Mertens v Saville Prediction and Tip
Despite Saville’s form, Mertens will be the favourite to advance from this contest. Expect the Belgian to move to the Round of 16.
