The first ever meeting between Ann Li and Taylah Preston will be in the Nottingham Open second round. Li is the tournament’s fifth seed, and with both players struggling for consistency, our prediction tips this match to require a decider.
Preston will be the second Lucky Loser that Li faces this week. Li is coming off a win in three sets against Kimberly Birrell, a match in which she had to recover from a set down.
It was a shaky debut for the American but a crucial victory at the same time, as she is now on a winning record for the season.
Placed 29th in the live rankings, Li will still have to be cautious, as most of her defeats this season came in this round (4-6).
Preston has a second bite of the cherry after her loss to Antonia Ruzic in the qualifiers. She grabbed this opportunity with a first-round win against Anna Blinkova, recovering to win in three after losing the opening set.
Like Li, she is making her Nottingham debut, and most of her 29-17 record is from the ITF-level matches. She won the Challenger title in Tokyo, but her highlight on the tour is a semi-final appearance in Hobart.
Only that and her Australian Open showing represent her main draw WTA appearances this season. Her first-round win has her in 117th place on the live rankings.

Our Ann Li vs Taylah Preston Prediction
The gap in experience between Ann Li and Taylah Preston is very clear. A two-time tour champion, Li also comes into this encounter as the clear favorite and looking to make a good run on her debut appearance in Nottingham.
She hasn’t had a smooth run in recent outings, though, and we expect Preston to frustrate her. As Preston has also not been in great form, this could be an encounter to be settled by a deciding set. Having played three hours more than Li could result in fatigue for the Australian. For that reason, our prediction for Ann Li v Taylah Preston is more than 2.5 sets.
