Elise Mertens Form

Elise Mertens advanced to the third round at Wimbledon with a comeback win over Ann Li, 6-7, 6-1, 6-2. After twice giving up a break lead in the opening set, the Belgian steadied her game and did not face a single break point for the remainder of the match.

This is her seventh win in eight grass-court matches this season, with the only loss coming to Elina Svitolina in Bad Homburg — her upcoming opponent. 

That defeat followed a title run in 's-Hertogenbosch, where Mertens claimed her first grass-court crown, defeating Ekaterina Alexandrova and Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the closing rounds.

She has already surpassed her total win count from last season in just six months and has reached three finals during this resurgent stretch. 

At Wimbledon, Mertens holds a 2-2 record in third-round matches, with her most recent victory at this stage coming against Angelique Kerber in 2022.

Elina Svitolina Form

Elina Svitolina has advanced to the third round with straight-sets wins over Anna Bondar (6-3, 6-1) and Aliaksandra Sasnovich (6-2, 6-4), showing strong form through the opening rounds.

She holds a perfect 4-0 record in Wimbledon third-round matches and has reached at least the quarterfinals in three of her last four appearances at the All England Club. 

Her last three wins at this stage have come against top-tier opponents: Maria Sakkari (2019), Sofia Kenin (2023), and Ons Jabeur (2024).

This is shaping up to be Svitolina’s best season since 2021, with six quarterfinal or better results already, including deep runs at both the Australian Open and Roland Garros.

She also enters this match riding a 16-match Grand Slam winning streak against players ranked outside the top 20 — a run that dates back to the 2024 Australian Open.

Verdict

While Svitolina's grass-court results outside Wimbledon remain modest, she consistently elevates her game at SW19.
 
Mertens arrives with momentum after claiming her first grass title in 's-Hertogenbosch, but Svitolina’s recent win over her in Bad Homburg and her proven edge on this stage make her the favorite once again.
