At the WTA event in Hong Kong, on Wednesday, taking place during the early hours for US viewers, it's America vs Great Britain as Claire Liu and Katie Boulter come together. Both players won their first-round matches in straight sets, but it was the higher-ranked player who created the better impression, and it is the higher-ranked player who should progress here.
At the time of writing, at DraftKings, Katie Boulter is priced at -175 to get the job done here, but if we really think about it, the British player could be priced slightly shorter, such is the level that she's been operating at compared to her opponent. Claire Liu has delivered some decent wins of late, but in matches of this nature, she's typically struggled, so let's not be shocked if the American comes up short here.

Our Claire Liu vs Katie Boulter Prediction
The last couple of efforts delivered by Claire Liu against top-75 players do not point towards her finding any success against Katie Boulter, who is the current world number 49. Boulter has been in very decent form of late, playing a level of tennis that should be more than enough to get the job done against a non-top-100 player such as Liu.
We also cannot overlook the fact that Boulter has been virtually flawless against lower-ranked players in recent weeks, winning each of her last five such matches, dropping only one set in the process.
