Elise Mertens love it WTA 250 d’Hobart. It was here that she won her first two WTA titles, in 2017 and 2018. But last year, the Belgian was deprived of a new coronation there by Emma Navarro. A defeat in three sets 6-1, 4-6, 7-5 at the last stage of the competition against the American. This Saturday, Mertens will already have the opportunity to forget this little disappointment since she is once again qualified for the final with the opportunity to win a 3rd title at Hobarta 9th in his career.
