Mertens, Hoping for a Positive Start
Elise Mertens is set to compete in her first WTA event of the 2022 season in Sydney.
Last year, she had a phenomenal time as a doubles player with four titles. She won the Australian Open and Wimbledon doubles, respectively with Aryna Sabalenka and Su-Wei Hsieh, in addition to clinching the trophies in Istanbul and Indian Wells.
Mertens also participated in the year-end WTA Finals with Hsieh and made it to the final before losing to the pairing of Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova.
In the singles department, her performances were slightly underwhelming as she managed only the singles title in the Gippsland Trophy and a runner-up feat in Istanbul. The 26-year-old Belgian also reached the semifinal in Dubai and fourth-round in the Australian Open, Miami Open, and the US Open.
However, Mertens ended the season on a low note, three of her last four matches.

Ferro, in Desperate Need of a Win
Fiona Ferro is now on a four-match losing streak – spread across ITF Rancho Santa Fe, Billie Jean King Cup, WTA Linz, and this year’s Melbourne Set 2. Last week, she started as a qualifier in the Gippsland Trophy but was beaten by Aliona Bolsova in the opener.
Well, in her defence, she did snap this streak here in Sydney by winning her first qualifying match against Michaela Haet. However, she then lost to Elena-Gabriela Ruse in straight sets and found herself in the main draw on the back of the lucky loser rule.
The 24-year-old Frenchwoman is currently ranked World No. 104 – a drop of more than 60 spots in her ranking since the same time last season. While Ferro did reach the latter rounds in a handful of tournaments in 2021, on the whole, she was beaten mainly in the opening rounds on the WTA Tour.
Mertens v Ferro Prediction and Tip
Mertens has a good opportunity here to start her 2022 season with a solid win. After all, she has a much superior pedigree, experience, and skill set needed to dispatch Ferro with ease.
