Qualifier Maria Timofeeva is set to play in the second round for only the third time on tour this season at Monterrey. The Uzbek is meeting Ann Li for the fifth time. Li has won all previous meetings, and per our prediction, she should prevail here as well.
In her debut appearance, Timofeeva has seen off Lanlana Tararudee and Kamila Rakhimova in the qualifying rounds before beating Shuai Zhang in straight sets in the first round.
Mixing up tour and ITF assignments, Timofeeva has recorded a 31-16 record for the season and won three titles at the ITF level. She comes here sitting 87th in the live ranking.
Fifth seed Ann Li fits the favorite’s profile for this particular encounter. She is much more experienced and comes into this encounter having spent way fewer hours on the courts.
Li dropped just three games as she saw off Camila Osorio in the last round, needing just over one hour for the win. A semi-finalist here in 2021, Li is making a comeback after four years away, when her journey ended in the first round.
This season she has struggled in the second round, compiling a 7-7 record, but we expect it to be easier here. Her highlight for the season has been reaching the Strasbourg semis. The American is placed 30th in the live ranking.
