THE PREDICTION

World number 42 Elise Mertens overcame Elena-Gabriela Ruse in three sets on Thursday, backing-up an excellent victory over up-and-comer Diana Shnaider. The 27-year-old has struggled to impose herself on tour, at least in singles, in recent months but there were encouraging signs of improvement at the Australian Open before she lost to eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka in the third round. 22-year-old Elisabetta Cocciaretto is yet to drop a set this week in Monterrey after an excellent win in two tiebreaks over Tatjana Maria on Thursday and the Italian will break her career-high WTA world ranking of 48^th with victory here. A first meeting between the two leaves more questions than answers but back the more experienced Mertens to win at least a set and leave the victor up to chance.
