Fresh off a surgical win over Emma Raducanu in the first round, American rising star Ann Li appears to be gaining some traction as an intriguing pick on the spreadline (+125 on +3.5 Games) ahead of her second-round showdown with WTA veteran Ekaterina Alexandrova at the 2025 Wuhan Open.
Current Form:
Li salvaged a signature win in the opening round of the 2025 Wuhan Open after dismantling former US Open champion Emma Raducanu 6-1, 4-1 on Monday. Li outplayed Raducanu by winning 71 percent of her first serves and breaking the Brit five times. No.46 in the world, Li has hiked up her 2025 hard-court record to 14-12.
Alexandrova blasted Canadian teen star Victoria Mboko 6-3, 6-2 to advance into the second round. The Russian got a much-needed morale booster after crashing out in the round of 62 at the China Open, losing to Barbora Krejcikova 5-7, 2-6. Alexandrova, the Korea Open runner-up, is 4-2 in her last six matches.

Our Ekaterina Alexandrova vs Ann Li Prediction
Ekaterina Alexandrova is a legit top-20 player who can be frustratingly inconsistent at times. The Russian carries a 17-13 record on the hard court but she’s only 11-10 against players ranked from top 21 to top 50 on the WTA rankings in 2025. Meanwhile, Li is 2-4 against top-20 competitions and 6-7 in second-round matches this year.
Fearless Forecast: Ekaterina Alexandrova takes the win in this one 7-5, 7-6, but I believe Ann Li will play good enough to cover the spread at +3.5 games. Alexandrova can be unpredictable at times, yet her experience and caliber as a player will help her fend off a spirited challenge from Li.
Our betting prediction for Ann Li vs. Ekaterina Alexandrova: Ann Li +3.5 Games
