LiontipsKatie Boulter vs Aryna Sabalenka. Prediction and bets on the WTA match Toronto
Command Analysis
Boulter was unable to fully demonstrate her potential at the Olympics, losing to Schmiedlova in the first round (4-6, 2-6). The transition to hard was not easy for the tennis player from Great Britain. In the first round in Toronto, she only snatched victory from Bernarda Pera in three sets (6-4, 3-6, 6-1). At the same time, it was noticeable that Katie had already warmed up by the third set, served well and left no chance for the American in this segment. In the second round, Boulter played Haddad Maia. Then only two games were played, after which Beatrice withdrew from the game.
Sabalenka is playing her second hard-court tournament after a shoulder injury. Last week in Washington, Arina made it to the semifinals, where she lost to Buzkova (4-6, 6-3, 3-6). In Toronto, the Belarusian tennis player started right from the second round, and her opponent was far from the strongest Yuan Yue, with whom she had no particular problems (6-2, 6-2). Arina played that match in her usual aggressive attacking style, taking advantage of her class advantage.

Sabalenka smashed Yuan Yue at the start in Toronto, who played her serve unconvincingly. Ahead is the match against Boulter , with whom Aryna has played three times in her career, winning all matches, but has not smashed the British with an advantage of more than five games. Katie has a powerful first serve in her arsenal, due to which she can easily avoid a major defeat today.
