Li vs Sonmez Prediction 29 June 2026
π Can Zeynep Sonmez carry her impressive form from Eastbourne into Wimbledon? The Turkish player recently made a quarterfinal run at the WTA 250 event in Britain. In the opening round of the sportβs premier grass-court tournament, she faces top-30 contender Ann Li, who arrives on the back of two consecutive defeats. Will Li snap her losing streak, or can the lower-ranked Sonmez put up a fight and possibly advance further?
Head-to-Head
π These players have faced each other twice before, with Zeynep Sonmez coming out on top on both occasions. Their most recent head-to-head went the distance in three sets, highlighting how evenly matched they are and the lack of a clear favourite.
