Elina Svitolina faces Ann Li in the WTA Beijing R16, with Svitolina backed to advance despite Li’s strong current form. Li has only one completed win over a top 10 player and a 1-13 record in those matchups, though she’s competitive, often pushing matches beyond 18.5 games. Svitolina’s consistency against lower-ranked opponents and her strong season—despite recent injury setbacks—make her the favorite. Expect a competitive battle with Svitolina likely to prevail in a match exceeding 18.5 games.
