Mertens Looking for Consistency in 2023
Knocked out in the first round at Indian Wells, Elise Mertens will be looking to regain her form in Miami, where she will be making her fifth appearance.
The Belgian, who is a seven-time champion on the tour, had made it to the round of 16 in Miami in 2021, which remains her tournament best so far. She had also made it to the third round twice. While she hasn’t had much success in singles in Miami, she has won a doubles title in Miami and was a finalist last year.
Mertens has an overall record of 10-7, which includes qualifying round wins in Doha. She produced her best result this year in Monterrey, where she made it to the semifinals, before falling to Caroline Garcia.
The 27-year-old, who made it to the third round at the Australian Open, lost to Xinyu Wang in straight sets in Indian Wells.
Can she start off with a win in Miami?

Parks on a Three-Match Losing Streak
Although Alycia Parks got off to a brilliant start in 2023, the world no. 55 has seen a dip in her recent form and comes to Miami on the back of three consecutive defeats.
Parks lost to Rebecca Peterson in the second round in Merida and then suffered back-to-back first round defeats in Austin and Indian Wells, losing to Mirjam Bjorklund and Anna Kalinskaya respectively.
But despite the recent setbacks, there will be a lot of interest in her match as she stormed to title success in Lyon last month.
Parks defeated Carloline Garcia in the final, to register her first top five win and win her maiden WTA title. The 22-year-old also peaked to a career-high of no. 50 last month, but has fallen a few places since then.
This is the first time that Parks will be paying in Miami. Last year, she had failed to go past the qualifiers. She will be a bit low in confidence after a 1-6, 1-6 rout in the Indian Wells opener, but given the quality of tennis she has played this year, she is expected to put up a string challenge against Mertens.
Mertens v Parks Prediction and Tip
Although Parks can be a difficult player to beat, Mertens’ experience give her the edge over the American. The Belgian knows how to handle the pressure of a big tournament and she should make it to the second round.
