Two days ago, Ann Li was the happiest woman in the world after winning her first WTA title of the season in Guangzhou. The boost in the rankings put her at her best ever ranking, #33, on the verge of being seeded in the upcoming Australian Open. A last effort seemed worth it, so she didn't think twice about competing this week in the WTA 250 in Jiujiang, thus spending the last bullet on the calendar. However, the plan did not work out well for the American, being eliminated in the first round by the local player Zhuozuan Bai (6-3, 6-1). With the top seed out of the draw, it becomes impossible to predict in one of those events where anything can happen.
