Ann Li won 6-4 6-2 · May 26, 2026, 2:31 PM UTC

We got this one right. Ann Li was our 56% pick, and won 6-4 6-2.

Ann Li and Shuai Zhang meet in the first round at French Open on Tuesday. Ann Li has won 7 of the last 10. Shuai Zhang has won 3 of the last 10.

Ann Li leads the head-to-head 4-0, and history has a way of mattering in matchups like this one. On clay specifically it reads 2-0 Li — worth more than the overall number this week.

The serve is where this match separates: Li has been winning 65% of first-serve points to Zhang's 59.7%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Li fractionally more likely to land the big points.
