Ann Li vs Taylah Preston prediction

Ann Li survived a mini scare to progress to the round of 16 in Nottingham.

The fifth seed overcame an early deficit to claim a 4-6 7-6 6-4 win over Kim Birrell.

The American now meets another Aussie in the shape of Taylah Preston after the youngster pocketed a 4-6 6-3 6-3 success against Anna Blinkova.

There is almost 100 places separating these two and Li really should make that gulf count, but Preston will be playing in her eighth match on grass this year and that familiarity and comfort may cause some problems for the seed.
