Maria Lourdes Carle vs Ann Li prediction
USA takes on Argentina as Ann Li faces Maria Lourdes Carle. Li has significantly more Grand Slam experience, but with only one second round appearance at Roland Garros, she has struggled when it comes to Grand Slam competition. This is her seventh straight match in the first round of a Grand Slam tournament since the start of 2022 and she’s only once emerged victorious once, at Wimbledon later that year.
Maria Lourdes Carle is yet to take that next step in her career of winning a Grand Slam match and this represents a good opportunity. She’s a fighter and Li will find herself under significant pressure over the course of this encounter, so avoiding too many enforced errors will be crucial from her point of view.
A tight contest may well be on the cards and the outcome could fall either way. We could see at least one tie-breaker and backing over 20.5 total games is a move worth making.
Maria Lourdes Carle vs Ann Li tip: Over 20.5 total games
