Lucia Bronzetti vs Ann Li - Jasmin Open Tennis Prediction and Pick 9/12/24

Lucia Bronzetti returned to winning ways at the 2024 Jasmin Open. The Italian defeated Hungary's Dalma Galfi in a match that took 15 games to decide. In the victory, Bronzetti landed 73% of first serves and won 65% of first serve points (24/37).

She won 79% of second-serve points (11/14). Bronzetti converted five of 13 break points in the match and saved all six break points she faced on her own delivery. This is her third career win in Monastir, having reached the quarterfinal on her debut last year. It is worth mentioning that Bronzetti's only career title was on African soil. She won the Rabat 250 on clay in Morocco last year. Will she replicate that feat in Tunisia this week?

Bronzetti will need to overcome a stern test in the second round against Ann Li. The American is a former World No. 44, so she is very experienced. Li won her opening match at the Jasmin Open against Kristina Mladenovic. Remarkably, it was the same score of 6-2, 6-1 that Bronzetti posted in beating Galfi. 

Li recorded two aces to three double faults and landed 68% of first serves. She won 83% of first-serve points (25/30) and only 36% of second-serve points (5/14). The World No. 124 converted five of 12 break points in the match. She will be chasing her second WTA quarterfinal of the season.

Lucia Bronzetti vs Ann Li Prediction

Bronzetti enters the match as the favorite, but she doesn't play her best tennis on a fast hard court. Li is the more all-around player with a superior hard-court game. Backing the American outright here means you can double your money in a matchup that can go either way.
