Mertens becomes the third tennis player in history to win a title by saving 11 match points

Elise Mertens has put the icing on a glorious week for her at the WTA 250 s-Hertogenbosch 2025, where she has shown that her game can adapt very well to grass. The Belgian won the final against Ruse 6-3 7-6 (4), continuing her feat in the semifinals, where she saved 11 match points against Alexandrova. In fact, in tennis history, there have only been three champions achieving such a feat, the others being Adriano Panatta in 1976 and Simon Youl in 1989.

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Mertens se convierte en la tercera tenista de la historia que gana un título salvando 11 bolas de partido
