Ann Li, the 28th seed at the Canadian Open, will be up against the second seed, Elina Rybakina. The two are meeting for the first time and with three wins in her last four matches, our prediction favors Rybakina to win here.
After getting a first round bye, Li started her second appearance in Canada with a straight-set win over wildcard Kayla Cross. That halted her two-match losing run and the world No. 31 will be keen on shocking a higher ranked Rybakina.
This is only the second time this season that Li has progressed to the third round of a hardcourt event. She’s lost 10 of her 17 hardcourt matches and comes here sitting 29th in the live rankings
Rybakina marked her return to action after a month-long break with recovery from losing the second set to beat Daria Kasatkina. For the world No. 2 it was also a needed result after the disappointing third round exit at Wimbledon.
For a player who started the season with just one loss in 12 matches, Rybakina has struggled a bit recently. A winner of two titles, among them the Australian Open, the Kazakh has lost five times in her last 10 outings.
The 27-year-old, currently on a 35-11 record, was eliminated in the second round in her previous appearance in Canada, four years ago.

Our Ann Li vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
Both Elena Rybakina and Ann Li have recovered from defeats in their latest matches. The two got first-round byes and are relatively fresh coming into this encounter. Rybakina had to endure a run of three sets to see off her opponent.
Dropping a set has been routine for the world No. 2, and Li will be looking to exploit that small struggle the Kazakh is dealing with. The American, however, isn’t on the best run, especially on hard courts, and that is where Rybakina could punish her. Our prediction for Ann Li v Elena Rybakina is for the exact score: 1-2.
