Mertens in Top Form
After a quiet year, Elise Mertens finally picked up her first singles title of the season, by beating Alizé Cornet in the final of the Jasmin Open on October 9.
Mertens, who reached the last 16 of all the first three majors this year, had reached just two quarterfinals until she embarked on a five-match win streak in Monastir to win her seventh singles title on the tour.
It was also the Belgian’s first final of the season. Overall the World no. 34 is 26-20 this year and that includes an 18-13 record on hard courts.
A solid doubles player, she has played in six doubles finals this year, but won just one title.
Coming into the tournament as the champion of the previous tournament, Mertens will be high on confidence and she will look to pick from where she left in Tunisia.

Muhammad Powers Past Pigossi
After suffering five consecutive defeats in a variety of tournaments played across levels, Asia Muhammad finally returned to winning ways in the qualifying rounds in Guadalajara.
Muhammad, who defeated Elizabeth Mandlik 7-5, 6-2 in the first qualifying round on Saturday, knocked out Brazil’s Laura Pigossi 6-2, 6-4 in the second qualifying round on Sunday.
The 31-year-old, ranked no. 185, won three ITF finals this year. On the tour, her best was a second round finish in Toronto, where playing as a qualifier she shocked Madison Keys in the first round, before falling to Jessica Pegula.
Muhammad is 26-15 overall in 2022 but has not played much on the tour. Can she spring a surprise in Guadalajara?
