Alan Soutar vs Lisa Ashton prediction
Soutar made his only previous appearance at the Grand Slam in 2022, when he reached the quarter-finals.
Ashton is coming off a 5-2 defeat to Jermaine Wattimena on Saturday lunchtime in what was a very low-quality match. Wattimena struggled for any kind of form, but Ashton was even worse.
She needs a big win here to have any chance of reaching the next round, but given her level on Saturday, that looks highly unlikely.
Soutar does not have much form behind him, but he should be good enough to beat Ashton and knock her out. That would leave the group to be decided on Monday, when Soutar plays Wattimena. Either way, it will not be Ashton who goes through.
