Bouzas Maneiro Targets Merida Reset
Jessica Bouzas Maneiro began the season with a stunning win over Coco Gauff at the United Cup but has since lost five of her next six matches, including the last four.
She reached a career-high No. 40 after strong results at major events, making at least the fourth round at Wimbledon, Montreal, and Cincinnati, and the third round at Roland Garros and Beijing.
Still inside the top 50, Bouzas Maneiro needs to quickly regain confidence. She returns to Mérida for the second time after reaching the second round in 2025.

Injury Comeback for Watson in Mexico
Heather Watson qualified for the main draw in Mérida with back-to-back wins over Diane Parry and Lia Karatantcheva. It marks her first event since August last year.
The Brit ended her 2025 season early due to injury and carried a five-match losing streak. She managed just one tour-level win last year, which came in Nottingham.
Watson has fond memories in Mexico, with two of her three career titles coming there, and she will look to draw confidence from that success this week.
