Ons Jabeur vs Elise Mertens 7/3/22 Wimbledon Tennis Picks, Predictions, Odds

Elise Mertens and Ons Jabeur meet in the fourth round of the 2022 tennis Wimbledon.

Elise Mertens is coming off a straight set win over Angelique Kerber that took 22 games to decide. In the victory, Mertens won 71 percent of her first serve points and 50 percent of her second serve points. Mertens won 64 percent of her total service points and converted on 5 of her 7 break points. Mertens got 69 percent of her first serves in play and saved 4 of her 7 break points. It was Mertens’ first straight sets victory since the second round of the French Open. Mertens looks to make her fourth career grand slam quarterfinal and first in Wimbledon. Mertens has 9 career wins over top-10 players, but none of those wins have taken place this year. Mertens has split her last 8 matches on grass court.

Ons Jabeur is coming off a straight set win over Diane Parry that took 17 games to decide. In the victory, Jabeur won 86 percent of her first serve points and 60 percent of her second serve points. Jabeur won 74 percent of her total service points and converted on 5 of her 14 break points. Jabeur got 52 percent of her first serves in play and saved 1 of her 2 break points. Jabeur has lost a combined 13 games in her first 3 matches. Jabeur looks to make her third career grand slam quarterfinal and back-to-back trips in Wimbledon. Jabeur has won 8 straight matches on grass court.

Mertens won the only match against Jabeur, which was the 2021 US Open. The match was decided in straight sets and 21 games.

Mertens is a quality player capable of winning this match like she did last year, and you could argue she’s had more success on the big stage. However, Jabeur has been on a tear through 3 matches, absolutely dominating her first few opponents and not really even breaking a sweat. It’s hard to step in front of the 27-year-old at the moment.

Give me Jabeur in straight sets.
