Mertens Has a Consistent Record at the U.S. Open
Two-time U.S. Open quarterfinalist and 2019 doubles champion Elise Mertens has consistently performed well at the Grand Slams.
The 26-year-old Belgian will be making her seventh appearance at Flushing Meadows this year. She lost in the opening round in her first two appearances, but since then she reached the fourth round in 2018, quarterfinals in 2019 and 2020 and the fourth round last year.
This year, she reached the Round of 16 of the first three majors. Could she make it that far at the U.S. Open as well? She faces a tough first round opponent despite having a perfect record against her. If she gets through, next up will be wild card Jaimee Fourlis or qualifier Yue Yuan. That should be an easy one for the Belgian, but a potential third round against Jessica Pegula could end her journey.
Despite getting off to good starts, the World No. 33 has not made it to many quarterfinals this year. The two times that she reached the last eight this season were in St. Petersburg and Strasbourg. She didn’t go beyond the last eight in either of those two events. She has an overall record of 20-18 this season with a 10-10 record on hard courts. She could be starting another tournament on a winning note.

Begu Can Pose a Tough Challenge
A month ago, World No. 42 Irina Camelia-Begu won her first WTA title in five years, defeating Lucia Bronzetti to claim the Palermo title. It was her fifth title from nine finals and improved her season numbers significantly in what has been a decent year so far for her.
The Romanian, who was also a semifinalist in St. Petersburg and a quarterfinalist in Melbourne, reached the Round of 16 at Roland Garros.
She has an overall season record of 24-15 and is 9-9 on hard courts.
Yet to reach a major quarterfinal, the 32-year-old has delivered results on the clay-court and grass court majors but has struggled on both the hard court majors. Barring one fourth round finish at the Australian Open, she has not gone beyond the second round in either of the two.
At the U.S. Open she has made 10 previous appearances, falling in the first round seven times and in the second round thrice. How far can she go this year?
Mertens v Begu Prediction and Tip
Mertens has a perfect record against Begu and she will be looking to keep that intact. Expect the Belgian to advance.
