Shuai Zhang’s dream for a third Guangzhou title is still alive, as she will be battling Ann Li in the semi-finals. The two will square off on Saturday, meeting for the second time in their careers. The winner will face Claire Liu or Lulu Sun in the final, and below is our prediction of the match.
Despite her age, Zhang continues to soldier on as she goes for the ultimate prize on home soil. Needing to rise from losing the middle set, Zhang defeated Katie Volynets in the quarters.
The world number 122 has now compiled a 30-12 record, settling at position 105 in the live rank. On the tour, this is Zhang’s first semi-final this season.
To her fourth semi-final appearance in Guangzhou, the 36-year-old carries a 21-9 record at this WTA 250 event.
Li is the only seeded player remaining here, and taking on a wildcard means she will be the favorite. The American, seeded second at the start of the competition, is in line to win her first title of the year.
She’s had near misses, with appearances in the final at Singapore and Cleveland, but this seems more under her control. These two met at the 2021 Australian Open, and Li prevailed in straight sets.
She will target the same here, having spent less time on the court compared to her opponent. Li is coming off a straight-set win over Elisabetta Cocciaretto, improving her record to 31-24. She is on a record high 38th in the live rank.

Our Shuai Zhang vs Ann Li Prediction
While Zhang brings into this match experience in this event and vociferous support from home crowds, she will still be the underdog. Ann Li has featured exclusively on the tour and comes across as the better tested.
On the flipside, Zhang might have all her advantages, but the age factor works against her despite having come this far. Li is far more agile and has spent less time on the court. Therefore, our prediction for Shuai Zhang v Li Ann is that Li Ann wins.
