Katie Boulter vs Diana Shnaider prediction

Diana Shnaider will aim to protect a 100 percent record against Katie Boulter in Wuhan.

The Russian top seed leads the head-to-head 2-0 and will hope to end a solid season with a flourish and gatecrash the top ten.

Boulter has won just three of her last 12 although those victories came in the past seven to suggest a slight improvement of late.

It’s sure to be a big-hitting affair, but if Diana brings near her best level, she should have too much.
