Na Li will face Simona Halep on Tuesday in the first round of this year’s eagerly awaited U.S OpenWatch & bet on live tennis at bet365World No. 7 Na Li has been a serious force in slam competitions this season, and she’ll enter this year’s U.S Open in search of her second major of the season. Having finished as the runner-up at the Australian Open in January, Li built upon her near-success and went on to lift the French Open title in June. Whilst she was stopped early at Wimbledon by rising star Sabine Lisicki, Li still stands out as one of the main contenders here at Flushing Meadows.
Outside of the slams Li’s form has been patchy, but not poor. She’s only won one match since Wimbledon, though she may have achieved more had she not been drawn against Samantha Stosur in Toronto and Cincinnati. It will be intriguing to see if Li’s recent results will affect her on Tuesday when she meets Simona Halep in round one.
Halep is only 19 years-old but is poised to enter the top fifty if she can do well here. She’s made it past the first round in every slam so far this season, but she’ll need to be at her tenacious best to maintain this record. She could be in with a chance here against Li, but she’ll be easily beaten if she has an off day.
