Unseeded Sloane Stephens will be out for revenge in the first round of the outdoor hard court Hobart International. Stephens takes on the qualifier Anna Li who beat her in Auckland last week. Can Li win again? Here's our match prediction.
Sloane Stephens is 84th in the live rankings and that's seven places above her opponent. The American won the first set against Li when they met in the Auckland first round last week. Li fought back to win the next two sets.
That made it seven singles defeats in a row for Stephens who is getting better results playing doubles at present. Her last singles win was on grass at Wimbledon last July. Stephens is 1-1 in previous meetings with Li, winning the other match in 2023.
Anna Li went on to lose in round two in Auckland, being beaten by the eighth-seeded Karen Volynets and could face her next here if she beats top seed Daya Yastremska. Li had to win two qualifying matches to get into this main draw.
One of those matches required her to come from behind against Chloe Paquet after losing the first set. Last year saw Li enjoy success on both the WTA and ITF tours including reaching the Merida Open, We tip her to win this match.
