Tuesday's Athens (Greece) round of 32 pits Ann Li against Maria Timofeeva on hard. Ann Li has dropped 3 straight and sits at 4-6 over the last ten. Maria Timofeeva is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (6 of the last 10).
Ann Li leads the head-to-head 2-0, and history has a way of mattering in matchups like this one. On hard specifically it reads 1-0 Li — worth more than the overall number this week.
Li's 65.9% behind the first serve (against 58.9% for Timofeeva) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Li should have enough here, though Timofeeva has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
