WTA Monastir Day 4 Predictions: Elise Mertens vs Eva Lys and More

Day 4 of the WTA 250 tournament in Monastir, Tunisia, features some exciting second-round matchups. We preview the four matches scheduled for the day and predict the outcomes. Will there be upsets, or will the favorites cruise through?

Monastir Day 4 Predictions

Greet Minnen vs Zeynep Sonmez

Head-to-Head: 2-0
Greet Minnen, as the seeded player, is the favorite here. Zeynep Sonmez, a qualifier, has fought hard to make it this far, but both of their previous encounters ended in Minnen’s favor. One of those victories came in the qualifying round of the US Open. Minnen should have no trouble advancing to the next round.
Prediction: Minnen in 2

Lucia Bronzetti vs Ann Li

Head-to-Head: 0-1
Ann Li holds a victory over Lucia Bronzetti, but that win came on grass at Wimbledon in 2022. Bronzetti, the seeded player here, is more comfortable on hard courts, and she breezed through her first-round match. She should be able to level the head-to-head score in this encounter.
Prediction: Bronzetti in 2

Yuriko Miyazaki vs Antonia Ruzic

Head-to-Head: 1-0
Yuriko Miyazaki previously defeated Antonia Ruzic earlier this season in Trnava. Miyazaki has struggled in recent tournaments, including failing to qualify for the US Open. Ruzic, however, upset the fourth seed in the first round after coming through qualifiers. Despite Ruzic’s form, Miyazaki might have the upper hand due to her previous win this season.
Prediction: Miyazaki in 3

Elise Mertens vs Eva Lys

Head-to-Head: First Meeting
Top-seeded Elise Mertens will be aiming for a deep run in the tournament after a solid performance at the US Open, where she reached the fourth round. Eva Lys fought through the first round to meet Mertens, and while the German will present a challenge, Mertens is expected to move forward.
Prediction: Mertens in 3
