Elise Mertens vs Madison Keys Prediction & Picks - WTA Indian Wells
by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks
Reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys will battle Elise Mertens for a place in the round of 16 at the 2025 Indian Wells Open on Monday. Despite skipping several tournaments in the Middle East, Keys showed no signs of rust as she demolished Anastasia Potapova 6-3 6-0 in the second round. The American looked sharp on offense and defense, holding 98 percent of her service while breaking Potapova six times. Keys has an opportunity to reach the fourth round of the Indian Wells Open for only the third time if she overcomes Mertens on Monday. Mertens is also through to the third round after outlasting Kimberly Birrell 6-4 7-5. The No.28 ranked Mertens landed 10 aces and seized four breakpoint conversions, including a service break on the 12th game of the second set to secure the victory.

Our Elise Mertens vs Madison Keys Prediction
Madison Keys faces a tricky third-round opponent in Elise Mertens, the same player who eliminated her in the third round of the 2024 US Open. Although Keys still has a 3-2 lead in their head-to-head series, she has lost her last two meetings with the Belgian. Mertens certainly has the skills and experience to beat an elite-level talent as shown by her 11 career wins over top-10 players. However, Keys has proven during her Australian Open run that she can beat anyone on the tour with a much-improved mental game, allowing her to execute her shots in the most pressure-packed moments of a match. Mertens is a big threat to her current run, but I feel Keys is on a different mental plane right now. Our betting prediction for Madison Keys vs. Elise Mertens: Keys will win 2-0.
