Elise Mertens enters this WTA 500 Monterrey quarterfinal as the clear favorite due to her higher ranking, greater hard-court experience, and consistent results against stronger opposition. The Belgian No. 2 seed advanced past Panna Udvardy in three sets after a first-round bye, while 26-year-old Yuliia Starodubtseva broke a six-match losing streak with straight-sets wins over Lilli Tagger and seventh-seeded Janice Tjen. Mertens holds a substantial edge in main-draw hard-court wins and overall career longevity, though Starodubtseva's recent form on the surface could test the favorite in what projects as a competitive matchup without reported injuries or withdrawals affecting either player.
