Ann Li, the 21st seed in Beijing, is set to face sixth seed Elina Svitolina in the fourth round. This marks the second career meeting between them, and our prediction backs Svitolina for a second win.
Li is having a strong week in the Chinese capital and looks to her momentum to overcome her toughest challenge yet. The American hasn't lost a set so far.
She defeated compatriot Ashlyn Krueger in her tournament opener and then eliminated ninth seed Belinda Bencic. With the two victories, she has improved to 25 wins, with 14 of those being registered on hardcourts.
By advancing to this round, Li has moved up to 29th in the live ranking.
Svitolina is up to sixth in the live ranking after qualifying for the fourth round here for the fourth time. The Ukrainian, who is back in the Chinese capital after a six-year hiatus, prevailed in straight sets against Maria Sakkari.
She looked much more comfortable, unlike in her opener against Katerina Siniakova. Svitolina is an overwhelming favorite to win this year's edition of the China Open, especially with the top two seeds already eliminated.
The 32-year-old, who has recorded 30 of her 47 wins so far this term on hard courts, has won two titles, one at the WTA 1000 level. Svitolina defeated Li in straight sets as they met for the first time in the 2021 French Open.

Our Ann Li vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
Svitolina had a dominant performance in her only other encounter with Li. She won in straight sets, and though that was five years ago, she is still primed for victory. The Ukrainian is having yet another exciting season and has been one of the WTA's top performers.
She has blazed through her path when on hard courts, winning 30 duels. This cannot be said of Li, who has blown hot and cold not only on hard courts but throughout the season. Li also has an underwhelming record against the WTA's top-ranked players. Our prediction for Ann Li vs Elina Svitolina is for the exact score: 0-2.
