It's only round two but eighth-seeded Katie Volynets is one of only four remaining seeds in the ASB Classic. Volynets takes on fellow American Anna Li in this outdoor hard court tournament being played in Auckland, New Zealand. Here's our match prediction.
The 23-year-old is one of only two seeds left in the bottom half of the draw, the other being Naomi Osaka. Ranked 58th in the world, Volynets is down to 62nd in the live list as this time in 2024 the American reached the last four in Canberra when ranked 108th.
One clay court title was won in 2024 but Volynets ended the year with three defeats. The first round of this tournament saw her beat unseeded Erika Andreeva in three sets, losing the middle one on a tie-break.
Anna Li is up to 90th in the rankings after beating Sloane Stephens in round one. It was a tough match for her after losing the first set 7-5. That was her first match since early November, a month that began with her winning the hard court WTA 500 Merida Open, though no top 90 players were beaten.
That was her second WTA title of the year. This could be close and we go for over 20.5 games to be played.
