Tomova Viktoriya from Bulgaria in the fast court is very weak, practically apart from defense, there is no attack, her strength is limited. Maybe she could do better at the ITF level, but in the WTA case, first stages, like in this tournament, it should be enough. Especially against opponents who have a little bit more power, she can make some winners or aces. In general, Tomova plays better on clay courts, which suits her playing style more.
Li Ann is an American, playing at home. She plays on hard courts and has a good amount of winners and a decent serve, maybe lacking a bit of stability, but her potential for a 2:0 win is clear here.
The downside is that Li is most likely not fully recovered from her injury, which she received at the beginning of the year in the Dubai tournament, so she may not be able to play the whole match at the same level, which can result in dropping a set. Therefore, considering a handicap for games could be a good risk management strategy.
