Katie Boulter, the 26th seed at the China Open, is set to meet world number 52 Taylor Townsend in the second round. Here’s a preview and our prediction for this match.
Katie Boulter has returned to the tour after her second-round loss at the US Open. This marks her third appearance in Tokyo and she will be targeting to progress past the second round for the first time.
Boulter has won 27 matches in 2024, yielding two titles in San Diego and Nottingham. Her success in San Diego marked her first tour title on a hard court surface and she will be eager to challenge for another crown.
The British number one has defeated Townsend both times they met though they haven’t locked horns since 2018. Boulter is currently ranked 35th after dropping one place in the live ranking this week.
This match will be their first meeting in a main draw at tour level. Victory in this fixture will set up a third-round battle with Cori Gauff or Clara Burel Taylor. Townsend is having an exciting season.
After a run to the quarters at the Canadian Open, she will be eager for another WTA 1000 highlight. The American has enjoyed all of her success on hard courts, which will have her confident of another win in Tokyo.
Townsend, who has registered 21 of her 23 wins on hard courts, defeated Martina Trevisian in three sets in the first round. That was her eighth win in her last 10 matches, moving her up one place to 51st in the live ranking.
