Emma Raducanu vs Ann Li prediction
It has been a frustrating past few weeks for Emma Raducanu. She has threatened to make a real breakthrough during this Asian swing, but a failure to close matches out has been her undoing. She had three match points against Barbora Krejcikova to make the Korea Open quarter-finals but failed to get over the line as she faded away in the third set. Unfortunately for Raducanu, lighting struck twice as she again squandered match points against Jessica Pegula in the China Open third-round as Pegula dominated the decider to win.
Ann Li is her opponent in the first-round. Li achieved her best result at a Grand Slam at the US Open as she reached the round-of-16. However, the American has competed in just one tournament since then, losing in the first-round of the China Open to Camila Osorio in three sets.
Raducanu leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a victory at Eastbourne earlier this year. The British number one has done a good job this year of consistently defeating lower-ranked opponents and she will be the favourite to get the job done here.
Emma Raducanu vs Ann Li tip: Emma Raducanu to win 2-0
