Katie Boulter vs Bianca Andreescu Preview

Katie Boulter demonstrated the gulf in ranking between herself and Kyoka Okamura, by only dropping three games in the second round. The British No. 1 took the best part of 70 minutes to dominate the Japanese lucky loser. She won 80% of first-serve points (16/20) and 76% of second-serve points (13/17). Boulter converted five of seven break points. 

The World No. 33 did not face a single break point on her own serve. Boulter is yet to drop a set at the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo, having accounted for a straight sets win over Priscilla Hon in the first round.

Bianca Andreescu progressed into the quarterfinal after second seed Beatriz Haddad Maia was forced to retire seemingly with a back injury. the Brazilian only lasted three games and despite seeing the trainer, was not fit to continue.

Andreescu, who had defeated Mei Yamaguchi in the opening round to snap a five-match losing run, will play her first WTA quarterfinal since the Libema Open in June (runner-up). She has only won 11 matches this season and is currently ranked outside the Top 100.

Katie Boulter vs Bianca Andreescu Prediction

Given what Boulter has been able to produce in the last two matches, it is a reminder that she has not mentally checked off her season just yet, which is what has been happening to some players. Finishing inside the Top 30 will be of utmost priority right now. So, Andreescu might hit a brick wall here as she doesn’t have sufficient match sharpness. I’m still not overly convinced with the Canadian’s durability, particularly if we end up getting three sets here. Backing Boulter at -143 is generous to me.
