The WTA action over in Singapore continues on Friday, when Ann Li takes on Kimberly Birrell in a battle between the USA and Australia. Separated by just ten spots in the WTA Rankings, the pair could easily play out a hard-fought match, but who will come out on top? As the (slightly) higher-ranked player, it is Li who approaches the match as the favorite, but could a case be made for the Aussie at what may just be generous odds? Absolutely.

Our Ann Li vs Kimberly Birrell Prediction

Let's be honest, this is no easy match to call, so much so that it won't be a surprise whichever way it goes. However, given that the pair do appear to be rather closely matched, should Kimberly Birrell be as big as +138 to win this? I don't think so. The Aussie has already beaten two higher-ranked players at this tournament, beating a player not only ranked above herself bu ranked comfortably above Li too. This bodes well. Factor in that she's been in very good hard-court form in general since the turn of the year and odds of +138 just look too big. Our Ann Li vs Kimberly Birrell Pick: Kimberly Birrell to Win.
