Two players closesly matched according to the current WTA rankings will clash at the event in Miami on Monday afternoon. Former world number one and two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka takes on up-and-comer Katire Boulter, who has been in fine form of late. The Belarusian veteran is a narrow favourite in the early betting, but I don't quite agree with that and thus make the British player a good bet to get the job done.

Our Victoria Azarenka vs Katie Boulter Prediction

This by no means an easy match to call, make no mistake about that. In her first two matches at the WTA Miami event, Azarenka has reminded everyone that she still has plenty to give at the top level, but in recent times, she's not been averse to losing, while she's certainly at a stage in her career where maintaining high-level form is harder. In contrast, Boulter is a young player who has gone from strength to strength in recent months and on hard courts, she seems to be improving with each match. She very decisively got the better of a good player in Haddad Maia in her last match, showing that she's a player whois rapidly moving towards the upper echelons of the rankings. That win is hard to ignore, so much so that she deserves a bit more respect in the betting here. I'm betting on her to put her youth and exuberance to good use here and get the better of her veteran opponent.
