Cori Gauff, the fourth seed at WTA Cincinnati, is set to duel the 28th seed, Ann Li, in the third round at the tournament. This will mark the third meeting between the two. Having won 74% of her hardcourt matches, Gauff will have the favor in our prediction.
Gauff is making her sixth appearance in Cincinnati and will be gunning for a second title here, having won it in 2023. The American has had an unfortunate campaign so far, reaching two finals but failing to win any.
She’s coming off a three-set win against Liudmila Samsonova, recovering from her semi-final exit in Toronto. So far she has compiled a 35-13 record with 20 wins coming on hardcourts.
Li has her work cut out for her here. She is on a losing record in the season and has only managed to win 42% of her hardcourt matches.
In the 20 events she has taken part in this season, the American only managed to go past the third round on four occasions. In one of them, she went all the way to the semis, at Strasbourg.
Her form at this particular event hasn’t been great either. On her third appearance in Cincinnati, she had never proceeded past the second round before. Currently on a 19-20 record, Li is placed 30th in the live ranking.
