Viktoriya Tomova vs Katie Boulter – Match Predictions
2-0 to Katie Boulter
Based on their recent form, Boulter has a strong chance of securing a victory over Tomova and bringing their H2H record to 1-1. The British number 1 has been in impressive form, capturing her first WTA title in Nottingham. Moreover, she reached the semi-finals in Surbiton as well. Her success demonstrates her ability to handle the competition effectively, a trait that will come in handy against Viktoriya. With Tomova struggling against top-ranked players and experiencing a string of losses across clay and grass courts, the case for a 2-0 Boulter win is strengthened.
Under 21.5 Games
Tomova summoned unknown strength to end Bernarda Pera’s Wimbledon aspirations. The 31-game affair saw plenty of to and fro, something that might be missing in her next match up. Boulter is arriving on a high after defeating Daria Saville in straight sets. The first set did require a tie-breaker but there were only eight games in the second. We expect a similarly quick conclusion to this meeting and should have a winner within 21.5 games.

Katie Boulter
Boulter is the sole remaining British player in the women’s draw. She had an eventful match against former top 20 player Daria Saville. The match was interrupted by rain and took a bizarre turn when a protestor’s intervention helped Boulter regain momentum in the first-set tiebreak, leading to her eventual victory of 7-6, 6-2. Earlier in June, Boulter showcased her grass-court prowess by reaching the semifinals at Surbiton and clinching her first WTA title in Nottingham.
