Ann Li vs Ekaterina Alexandrova prediction
Ann Li came from a set down to win her first two matches at the Nottingham Open, before a loss to Viktorija Golubic in the quarter-finals. The American is back up to her highest ranking of 29 in the world, and will hope for a similarly deep run at this event ahead of Wimbledon.
She takes on Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first-round. Alexandrova was defeated by world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the second-round of the German Open last week. It’s been a really tough season for the former world number 10, with a lack of positive result aside from a run to the final of the Abu Dhabi Open. Overall, she has just seven wins from 22 matches. She did reach the quarter-finals of this event last year, but the Russian is likely to have her work cut out against Li in round one.
Alexandrova does lead the head-to-head 2-1, but Li won their most recent meeting in Strasbourg last month. This should be a competitive match between the pair.
Ann Li vs Ekaterina Alexandrova tip: Both players to win a set
