Two players currently ranked inside the top 40 will clash at Flushing Meadows on Wednesday. Donna Vekic will be hoping to improve on her US Open effort in 2025, when she exited at the second-round stage. Ann Li reached the fourth round last year, and on recent evidence, looks likely to do something similar (or do even better) this time around.
Let's keep this nice and simple. Ann Li should be a stronger favorite than a price of -149 suggests. The American is arguably in the form of her life, while she knows exactly what it takes to defeat Donna Vekic, who has lost in the US Open first round of the US Open in three of the last five years. Last season, Ann Li looked at home on the Flushing Meadows courts, reaching the fourth round, where she had the misfortune of facing the current world number three. Based on both that and her recent efforts, this looks like a very winnable match for a player now ranked inside the top 30.

Our Ann Li vs Donna Vekić Prediction
Donna Vekic has not exactly delivered her best tennis during the current North American hard-court swing, losing in the first round at the events in Toronto, Cincinnati and Monterrey. In contrast, Ann Li made it beyond the first round in all three of those events, most recently reaching the semis in Monterrey. Her efforts at that tournament point towards her making light work of this assignment.
Li continued in hot form during the first round, defeating Antonia Ruzic in straight sets. She's done more than enough to be a heavy favorite ahead of this match, so much so that odds of -149 are well worth taking advantage of.
