Na Li will take on Monica Niculescu of Romania in the first round of the China Open on SundayYou can watch and bet on the action from the WTA Beijing Open at bet365Na Li has had plenty of time to settle following her first round exit at the U.S Open, and she’ll be eager to make a big impression at this year’s China Open. The French Open champion will be looking to make the most of the support of a home crowd, who should be well behind her seeing as she’s the only Chinese player in tennis history to win a Slam event.
Li has had a knack for being at her best at crucial points of the season this year, and we can expect to see her make a big challenge on home soil this week. She begins on Sunday with a first round matchup against Monica Niculescu.
Niculescu is the world No. 58, but may be more of a threat than her ranking suggests. She reached the fourth round of the U.S Open last month, and this should give her good reason to be confident.
Even so, Li is the favourite here, and it would be surprising to see her falter. Her experience at this level could be decisive, and Niculescu will have to work hard in order to give her a close matchup in this event.
