Command Analysis

Elise Mertens

Mertens finished last season in 20th place, but she never had a real breakthrough. It has been several years since the Belgian tennis player has kept the same level, but she has not been able to break into the top 10. Of the successes, it is worth noting the titles in Singapore and 'S-Hertogenbosch. Elise played only once at the United Cup, in 2023 she played two matches, won one and was defeated.

Lin Zhu

Due to injury, Lin Zhu was unable to fully prove herself in 2025, and is currently the 168th racket of the world, although she rose to 31st position at one time. It should be noted that the Chinese tennis player performed well at the last hard-court home tournaments, even reaching the quarterfinals in Ningbo. She's making her United Cup debut today.

Tip and bets

TipLin Zhu with a handicap (+4.5)

1.76

Mertens leads 3-1 in personal meetings, played better last season and quite logically gets the status of the favorite in the bookmaker's line today. At the same time, it is now the start of the season, it is far from a fact that the Belgian tennis player is ready to show her maximum and defeat the unyielding Lin Zhu. We're betting on an underdog with a plus head start on games.

Our prediction is that Lin Zhu will win the game with a handicap (+4.5) with a coefficient of 1.76
