Ann Li vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto prediction
Elisabetta Cocciaretto sent shockwaves around the tournament by securing a huge upset against Coco Gauff.
The Italian was way too solid for the error-strewn fourth seed as she claimed a 6-4 6-2 win.
The world number 57 will now meet another American in the shape of Ann Li, who was also impressive in a straight-forward 6-3 6-4 success over Magdalena Frech.
This will their third meeting with honours even at one apiece.
Li won in straight sets in Guangzhou last year but Elisabetta hit back to prevail 1-6 7-5 7-5 during her title run in Hobart last month.
Most of the sets they have played have been highly competitive and given their high confidence at present, that’s likely to be the case again here.
It has the feel of a three-setter or at least a match over 22.5 games.
Ann Li vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto tip: Over 2.5 sets
