On Tuesday, during the early morning for US bettors, Katie Boulter and Belinda Bencic will clash at the 2026 renewal of the Australian Open. Boulter will be hoping to do better than her second-round exit in 2025, when she went out to Kudermetova in three sets. The Brit has never been beyond the second set at this tournament, despite having now had eight bites at the cherry. Given that she's up against the current world number 10, her luck may not change this year.
Belinda Bencic is an Olympic Gold winner, while she's made the fourth round at the Aussie Open no less than three occasions, doing so last season. The Swiss player has also been in fantastic form of late, beating some very good players, and she arrives here full of confidence having recently beaten Iga Swiatek at the United Cup.

Our Katie Boulter vs Belinda Bencic Prediction
Even at odds of -182, I make Belinda Bencic a decent bet to get the better of an out-of-form Katie Boulter in straight sets, such is the difference in quality between these two players. First and foremost, Bencic should be full of confidence having beaten Iga Swiatek at the United Cup last time out, while she also beat a very good player in Elise Mertens just before that. In other words, she has her game in great shape at the start of 2026.
In contrast, Boulter has not made a flying start to the season, losing each of her last two, doing so without winning a set. Such form does not point towards her upsetting a top player like Belinda Bencic.
