Svitolina is a 3-time quarterfinalist at Roland Garros and she would be eager to make up for a good draw this time around and reach at least the last-four stage for the very first time.

Ann Li vs Elina Svitolina: Preview
Talking about the performance in the first round, Li played arguably the best tennis of her short career so far. The 20-year old American dropped just one game in her 6-0, 6-1 annihilation of Margarita Gasparyan.
On the other hand, Svitolina had a topsy-turvy opening round. Although, the 26-year old Ukranian got the better of local favourite Oceane Babel in straight sets 6-2, 7-5, the scoreline doesn’t show that at one time Svitolina was trailing 1-5 in the second set, before winning the next 6 games on the trot to clinch the match. Consistency has always eluded Svitolina and it is the one thing she needs desperately to even think of creating history in Paris.
Ann Li vs Elina Svitolina: Head to Head
The two women have never faced each other before. It will be their first meeting, so the head-to-head record currently is deadlocked at 0-0.
Ann Li vs Elina Svitolina: Match Prediction
Even though Li showcased in the opening round that she is a future star with a mind-boggling performance, it would still require a miracle to upstage her Ukranian counterpart. Svitolina should win it rather easily, until she does not again find herself in 1-5 kind of position. It’s high time now that Svitolina converts her immense talent into performance, and again reiterating, for that to happen, she needs to be consistently consistent!
Match Prediction: Elina Svitolina defeats Ann Li comfortably in straight sets
