Ann Li and Varvara Gracheva kick off the RO32 of the Japan Women’s Open at Osaka. This will be their third ever meeting, and everything points to a repeat of the last two outcomes. Come see our best pick in the Ann Li vs Varvara Gracheva match prediction.
Ann Li, the American international, is poised for her third straight victory over Gracheva in their third game. It's been a one-sided H2H so far, with Li winning both past games in straight sets. Form-wise, both players have been impressive, but Li still edges.
Li has won eight of her last 12 singles, and two of her only four losses came against top 11 players. In contrast, Varvara Gracheva has now lost four of her last eight singles, and three of those four losses were to underdogs.
While Gracheva’s latest outing ended up as a victory, it's worth pointing out that she took that victory over Elena-Gabriela Ruse, a weaker player. Ann Li also lost her latest game, but that was to Ekaterina Alexandrova, world No.11.
