The WNBA is more competitive than ever. There are numerous teams playing well, and each of them are fighting for the same thing. They want to win a championship.

The Phoenix Mercury are having a great season so far. They are second in the league, with the Minnesota Lynx being the only team ahead of them.

The Mercury have picked up wins over teams like the New York Liberty, the Las Vegas Aces and others. They have also picked up wins over under .500 teams like the Chicago Sky, the Connecticut Sun and others. In other words, they are doing what they are supposed to do by picking up easy wins.

When it comes to matchups against some of their fellow contenders, the Mercury have struggled. Phoenix has yet to get a win over the Lynx. Then, despite getting a win over them, the Seattle Storm have given them some problems as well. With that said, here is a quick look at the Mercury's season series against Seattle.
