This is a list of the main career statistics of Belgian professional tennis player Elise Mertens since her professional debut in 2010. So far, Mertens has won ten WTA singles titles and 24 career doubles titles, including six Grand Slam titles, as well as one doubles title at WTA Challenger level and 11 singles titles and 13 doubles titles on the ITF Circuit. She reached a career-high WTA singles ranking of No. 12, while in doubles, she was the world No. 1.

Mertens made her WTA Tour debut in 2015 at the Copa Colsanitas. In 2016, she reached and won her first WTA Tour final, in doubles at the Auckland Open. In 2017, she reached her first tour singles final at the Hobart International, where she succeeded to win the title.[1] In 2019, she continued to progress and won her first major title at the 2019 US Open, alongside Aryna Sabalenka; in the final they defeated Ashleigh Barty and Victoria Azarenka.[1] At the 2021 Australian Open, they won another Grand Slam title, this time defeating Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková.[2] On the WTA Tour, Mertens has won 10 singles and 24 doubles titles in total.[1]

Mertens won most of her titles on hardcourts, including the 2019 US Open and 2021 Australian Open in doubles.

Mertens made her WTA Tour debut at the 2015 Copa Colsanitas, in the doubles event. The following year, she started winning the title at the Auckland Open, partnering with An-Sophie Mestach. In June of the same year, she made her WTA Tour singles debut at the Rosmalen Championships as a qualifier. At Wimbledon, she made her Grand Slam main-draw debut in doubles, and then at the 2016 US Open, also in singles. Mertens started into the 2017 season, winning her first title in singles at the Hobart International defeating Monica Niculescu.[3] In April 2017, she reached another WTA Tour final, but this time finished runner-up at the İstanbul Cup, losing to Elina Svitolina.[4] At the 2017 French Open, she recorded her first Grand Slam match win defeating Daria Gavrilova in the first round.[5] In October 2017, she recorded her first top-10 win over world No. 10, Dominika Cibulková, in the first round of the Premier Mandatory-level China Open.

In the 2018 season, Mertens recorded big improvements. She defended her title at the Hobart International, defeating Mihaela Buzărnescu in the final.[6] There, she also won the title in doubles.[7] She followed this up with her first and so far only major semifinal in singles at the Australian Open. There, she en-route also defeated world No. 4, Elina Svitolina.[4] In April, she continued with good performances, winning titles in both singles and doubles at the Ladies Open Lugano.[8] Soon after that, she won the Morocco Open by defeating Ajla Tomljanović in the final.[9] During the grass season, Mertens had success in doubles. First, she won Rosmalen Championships with Demi Schuurs and then reached the final of the Premier-level Birmingham Classic, also with Schuurs.[7] During the U.S. hardcourt tour, she first reached semifinals of the Premier-level Silicon Valley Classic, and then quarterfinals at the Premier 5-levels Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open. In Cincinnati, she also made top 10 win over world No. 3, Sloane Stephens, and reached the final in doubles. Then, on the Asian hardcourt swing, she won the Premier 5-level Wuhan Open and entered the final of the Premier Mandatory-level China Open, both in doubles with Schuurs.[10] At the end of the year, she competed at the WTA Elite Trophy in singles, and the WTA Finals in doubles, losing both times in the round-robin stage.

Mertens continued to progress in 2019. In February, she won her first Premier singles title at the Qatar Ladies Open by defeating world No. 3, Simona Halep, in the final. En-route she realized two more top-10 wins, over world No. 8, Kiki Bertens, and No. 6, Angelique Kerber.[11] Soon after that, she won the Sunshine Doubles (Indian Wells and Miami Open), both in doubles alongside Aryna Sabalenka.[12] Mertens continued with good performances in doubles, reaching semifinals of the French Open and quarterfinals at Wimbledon. At the US Open, she reached quarterfinals in singles and won the title in doubles alongside Sabalenka.[13][14] At the 2020 US Open, she reached quarterfinals for the second year in-a-row, and finished on the same stage in doubles.[15] Mertens started 2021 season winning the title at the WTA 500-level Gippsland Trophy in Melbourne, right before the Australian Open[16] where she also defeated world No. 5 Elina Svitolina.[17] At the Australian Open, she won her second Grand Slam doubles title, again with Sabalenka.[18] Mertens ascended to world No. 1 in doubles, on 10 May 2021.

Mertens would go onto win her third doubles slam at Wimbledon with Hsieh Su-wei later that year. The following year she won her first WTA Finals title with another new partner, Veronika Kudermetova.
