Ann Li v Madison Brengle Head to Head
Brengle owns a 2-0 head-to-head record against her compatriot. Both meetings took place on the ITF circuit back in 2018, when Li was still a teenager. The older American did not drop more than three games in any of those matches.

Li Loses Top 50 Status
Ann Li enjoyed a splendid year on the WTA tour in 2021. She won her maiden WTA title proper at the Tenerife Ladies Open last October – a result that propelled the 21-year-old to break the world’s Top 50 for the first time.
But considering that the young American had reached the Grampians Trophy final last season (and bizarrely ended up sharing the trophy with another finalist in Anett Kontaveit due to a packed-up schedule), those points have since fallen off. And Li – who was defending a substantial number of points in the first quarter of 2022 – has not matched her exploits from last season just yet.
And the ultimate price that the American has paid for thus far, is a Top 50 exit. She lost to Xinyu Wang for the second time this year at the Monterrey Open, meaning that she has managed one win from six matches heading to the desert.
Li will be playing in the main draw of the BNP Paribas Open for the second time. Last year, she lost in the first round to Misaki Doi. Unless she can revive her fortunes on Wednesday, then another defeat looks very much in sight.

Brengle Makes 7th Straight Appearance At The Desert
Madison Brengle will be among a few gnarled competitors at the Indian Wells tennis garden. Brengle has made the trip to California in six of the last seven years (missing out on the 2020 edition due to the tournament’s cancellation for Covid purposes).
But for all of Brengle’s admirable longevity, she doesn’t own a good record in these parts. The 31-year-old from Delaware has never advanced beyond the second round at Indian Wells. Last year, she lost to Hsieh Su-Wei right out of the gate.
Brengle has a productive return as compared to her younger compatriot Ann Li in 2022 results. The experienced of the two Americans has won back-to-back matches at three tournaments (one of those coming via a walkover).
Her last WTA 1000 was in Doha where she made the Round of 16, losing quite comprehensively to Garbine Muguruza. Brengle, though, will unlikely face a similar level of intensity to the Spaniard when she takes on Ann Li in her opening match on Wednesday.
Li v Brengle Prediction and Tip
After a bright start to the year at the Melbourne warm-up tournament, Ann Li’s progress has stalled. Brengle has been instilled at such appealing odds to win and reckon the higher-ranked American might nick this.
Tip: Brengle to win: 13/10 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
