Frech Looks to Bounce Back on Hard Courts
Magdalena Frech dropped out of the top 50 toward the end of last season after failing to defend her Guadalajara title. However, she showed signs of improvement this year by reaching the final in Merida and recording main-draw wins at the Australian Open and Doha, helping her climb back into the top 50.
Since March, though, her form has faded significantly. She has suffered a string of early exits, losing in the opening round in eight of her last 10 tournaments, highlighting her struggles in recent months. She will now look to end that slump in Washington.
This will be Frech's third appearance in Washington. She lost in the opening round on her debut in 2023 but improved to reach the quarterfinals in 2025.

Li Targets Confidence-Boosting Run
After back-to-back opening-round exits in Bad Homburg and Wimbledon, Ann Li entered Athens in search of momentum. She defeated Maria Timofeeva in the opening round but was unable to build on that result, falling to the inexperienced Alina Korneeva in the next round.
Li has played 18 tournaments this season and has registered multiple main-draw wins at only five events. Her best results include a semifinal run in Strasbourg, quarterfinal appearances in Rouen and Nottingham, and a fourth-round finish in Madrid.
The American has significant ranking points to defend during the North American hard-court swing, including her title in Cleveland and a fourth-round showing at the US Open. A deep run in her Washington debut would not only boost her confidence but also ease some of that pressure.

Verdict
Magdalena Frech has struggled badly for confidence and consistency in recent months. Although Ann Li has also endured an inconsistent season, her greater familiarity with North American hard courts and experience in these conditions give the American the edge in what should be a closely contested encounter.
