Elise Mertens vs Jessica Pegula Prediction & Picks - WTA Australian Open

Prediction published on 1/14/25, 5:11 AM by Bradley Gibbs | Modified on 1/14/25 at 5:19 AM in Tennis Picks

We're nicely underway at the first Grand Slam of the 2025 season, and we've already seen some entertaining action. There's plenty more coming our way over the coming days, starting on Wednesday, which for US viewers will be late on Tuesday evening, when Elise Mertens and Jessica Pegula go head-to-head in the second round. Pegula, as the higher-ranked player, is the favorite here, though don't be surprised if Mertens, who is no slouch when she gets going, makes life tough for the US player.

Our Elise Mertens vs Jessica Pegula Prediction

Given her ranking and overall standing in the world of women's tennis, it's not surprising to see Jessica Pegula be priced up quite stingily ahead of this game, but are the odds a little to stingy? I'd say so. Let's face it, Mertens has been playing some fine hard-court tennis of late, while she has a habit of keeping herself in matches against better players. Factor in that the Belgian has never lost to Pegula, winning when the pair last met on a hard surface, and the odds start to look a little out of whack. Betting on Mertens to avoid a straight set defeat definitely offers value for money here. Our Best Bet: Elise Mertens +1.5 Set Handicap.

Elise Mertens +1.5 Set Handicap
