Fourth seed Jule Niemeier takes on the unseeded Lucrezia Stefanini in the opening round of the 2024 Merida Open. The winner will play Sara Sorribes Tormo or Ana Sanchez for a place in the quarter-finals. We have the preview for this match and a prediction.

Jule Niemeier is struggling, and in her last seven outings, she has managed just two wins. The German, who has played just one match since the end of August, has lost her last two matches.

She was defeated in Tampico last time out and this unwanted form has seen her drop to 85th in the WTA rankings. A two-time ITF finalist this year, Niemeier has compiled a 34-36 record and won 15 of 26 hard-court fixtures.

Lucrezia Stefanini was also present in Tampico last week where she won two matches and made it to the quarter-finals. The Italian, who has claimed one ITF title this season, has won four times in her last six outings.

She has compiled a 34-25 record and has won two of the five main draw matches she has contested at tour level. Her run in Tampico has propelled her six places in the live ranking.

She is now set to start a new week placed 160th in the WTA.
