Akasha Urhobo vs Katie Boulter prediction
Katie Boulter’s troubles with clay seem to have resurfaced in 2026.
The Brit made the last eight in Rouen but has since struggled for wins, notably seeing her title defence at the Paris 125 end in the round of 16.
The world number 69 will therefore be highly vulnerable against 19-year-old Akasha Urhobo who has been flying on clay at the lower tier.
Indeed, the American world number 184 has reached two finals on the surface this year, winning the W35 Zephyrhills FL title.
With that in mind, we think it’s worth backing the underdog in this one.
