Iga Swiatek vs Katie Boulter prediction
As mentioned already, both Swiatek and Boulter are in very good form at the moment. Boulter is ranked 24th in the world and won a couple of WTA titles in 2024. She is a powerful player in her own right and can give anyone a run for her money.
However, Swiatek is simply on another level as a tennis player. She has been the best female player in the world for the last few years and is probably only rivaled by Aryna Sabalenka on hard courts. If she plays even close to her best, Boulter could find it a really difficult task to stop her.
Swiatek's ability to dictate terms with his groundstrokes off either wing could put Boulter in a lot of trouble. It is not beyond the Brit to cause an upset, but it will be a challenging task for her. She might be able to take a set off Swiatek, though.
Pick: Swiatek to win in three sets
