Ann Li vs Shuai Zhang prediction

Ann Li’s excellent start to the season has continued on clay with strong showings in Rouen and Strasbourg in particular.

The American world number 30 will take on veteran Shuai Zhang in her French Open opener with the Chinese also putting together a good run in Strasbourg. 

Li has won their three previous meetings, including a 1-6 6-4 6-2 victory in Rome recently.

Zhang ran out of steam that day and it could be a similar case in this one with the world number 74 still capable of some top-notch tennis, but maintaining it consistently is proving tough in 2026.
