After multiple Round of 16 finishes, she made two more QFs in Rome and Queen&rsquo;s Club. The third seed managed to break her three-match losing streak with a straight sets win over Rakhimova in the Monterrey Round of 16.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Finishing with a bang &#128165;<br><br>Diana Shnaider moves past Rakhimova 7-6(3), 6-1 to move into the Monterrey quarterfinals.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AbiertoGNPSeguros?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#AbiertoGNPSeguros<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ddoQXEYf5M\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/ddoQXEYf5M<\/a><\/p>&mdash; wta (@WTA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WTA\/status\/1958303914480042300?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 20, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Elise Mertens has been a consistent performer on the WTA Tour for over a decade now.

Moreover, the 5&rsquo;10&rdquo; veteran has a strong serve that will get her out of tricky situations. Both players will adopt the tactic of opening up the court before striking their preferred down the line winners. While it will come down to execution, Mertens&rsquo; superior success rate on first serve and win percentage on second serve returns will give her the edge.<\/p><p><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>Elise Mertens in straight sets.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Porsche Tennis Grand Prix | 04\/16\/2025 | Match Highlights | Mertens vs. Shnaider\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xHK9oOb47Ro?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diana Shnaider vs Elise Mertens WTA Monterrey Open 2025 Betting Odds<\/h2><p>Mertens has a very slight edge over Shnaider when it comes to the odds market ahead of this quarterfinal tussle.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
