Katie Boulter vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro prediction

Katie Boulter has already picked up a title this season after her success in Ostrava at the beginning of last month. She then continued her fine form with two more wins to make the quarter-finals of the Merida Open, where her winning run came to an end against Jasmine Paolini, despite taking the first set. However, the former British number one failed to qualify for Indian Wells after a loss in the second stage to Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva.

She faces Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in Miami. The Spaniard has struggled considerably at the start of 2026, with just three wins from her 11 matches. She was able to win her first-round match at Indian Wells, defeating Beatriz Haddad Maia in three sets, but she was comfortably beaten by Linda Noskova in the next stage.

Bouzas Maneiro leads the head-to-head 1-0 after a win at the 2024 US Open. Boulter’s serve can be an issue, but she’s striking the ball well at the moment and should be able to apply consistent pressure on Bouzas Maneiro, who is yet to win successive matches this season.
