Mertens Struggling in Singles
While she has done well in doubles, Elise Mertens has struggled in singles this year. She did make the Round of 16 in singles in all three of the majors, but has lacked the consistency in the other tournaments.
The 26-year-old has an overall record of 18-17 in 2022 and she is 8-9 on hard courts. In her most recent tournaments, the Belgian was knocked out in the opening rounds in Prague and Washington and could only reach as far as the second round in Toronto, before falling to Camila Giorgi.
Mertens has featured in just two quarterfinals this year, in St. Petersburg and Strasbourg, but has played in six doubles finals this year, winning in Dubai and finishing runner-up in Qatar, Miami, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Birmingham and Wimbledon.
The World No. 33 was a quarterfinalist in Cincinnati in 2018 but could only reach the second round in 2019 and 2021. Can she regain her singles form with a brisk start on Tuesday?

Kalinina Fights Back to Down Martic
Anhelina Kalinina qualified for the main draw with a come-from-behind win over Petra Martic in the second qualifier on Sunday.
The Ukrainian, who picked up a 6-2, 6-4 win over American Lauren Davis in the first qualifying round on Saturday, needed two hours and 35 minutes to beat the Croatian 6-7 (3-7), 6-4, 6-1.
Kalinina is 20-16 from all her matches this year, including qualifiers. She was a quarterfinalist in Charleston and Madrid on clay and in Eastbourne on grass. She is 7-7 on hard, including qualifiers, with her best being a Round of 16 finish in Miami.
Making her main draw debut in Cincinnati, Kalinina will look to cary the momentum from the qualifiers.
