Ann Li vs Maria Timofeeva prediction
Ann Li was unable to capitalise on a decent run to the third-round of the Madrid Open in Rome, as she lost a topsy-turvy encounter with Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain in the first-round. Li has shown flashes of brilliance this season, which includes a final appearance at the Singapore Open during the winter.
Maria Timofeeva has not competed in a few months due to injury but her won her two qualifying rounds to enter the main draw. She has competed in just three events this season with the last being in Singapore where she made the round-of-16 stage, losing to Li in straight sets.
That was the only match between the pair, and this will be their first on clay. Timofeeva has done well to make it through qualifying after being out for a while but Li is the more accomplished player and should be fancied to make it through comfortably.
