Prediction published on 06/04/2026, 06:04  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 07/04/2026 at 08:20 in Tennis Predictions

Dayana Yastremska will go head-to-head with seventh seed Ann Li in the first round at WTA Linz. The two will be meeting for the second time with the winner to take on Katie Boulter or Gabriela Ruse next. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Yastremska will be looking to go one better here after reaching last year’s final. To get there, though, she needs to give more than she has done so far this season.

Coming from Charleston, where she reached the second round, Yastremska’s highlight so far has been the third round in Brisbane. Six times in 10 events, though, she managed to advance past the first round.

With a 7-10 record for the season, the Ukrainian is placed 49th in the live rankings.

Ann Li is not only making her debut in Linz; she is also playing her first clay court match for the year. The last time she played on this surface was in Iasi. The American isn’t coming here with a great record to start her year.

Her last outing was in Miami, where she got eliminated in the second round. The loss to Aryna Sabalenka was her fifth in six matches, and she comes into this one having compiled a 5-8 record for the season.

Li is facing a top 50 player here; across the last year, she has only won 38.9% of matches against such opponents.
