Ann Li vs. Marie Bouzkova: Preview and betting tips

29.6. at 14:00 the Wimbledon 2nd round match between Ann Li and Maria Bouzkova will be played at the All England Club in England. The two players are separated by a single position in the world rankings. Bouzkova is 66th and Li is 67th. In the opening round, Marie took on the favoured American Danielle Collins. Ann outplayed Italy’s Bronzetti.

In the 1st round the Czech managed to knock out the slightly favoured American Collins after sets 7::5, 4::6 and 4::6. Throughout the match she applied her patient game and in 32 games she made only 6 unforced errors and 24 winning shots. Her play led her opponent to 54 unforced errors.

Bouzkova is 23:9 overall this year and has been putting in a fairly solid and steady performance. She was stopped by injury at the FO and fell narrowly to Rogers in the Wimbledon preliminary tournament. But she played much better in the opening round of the Grand Slam and you could see her readiness.

Her US opponent is 10::11 so far this year. She’s played six matches on grass with a 3-3 record. She won against Samsonova, Bondar and, as we already know, here against Bronzetti. On the other hand, she fell to Flipkens, Gauff and Anisimova.

The deciding factor should be the style of play of both tennis players. Bouzkova has come to Wimbledon well prepared and is playing what she can.

Her patience and combativeness should push her young opponent to make mistakes. She is also about 20cm taller and this could also play a role in her serve. Bouzkova won their only match in 2018 2: 0 on hard court. I believe in a win for Maria Bouzkova.
