Marie Bouzkova vs Taylor Townsend prediction
Marie Bouzkova was not able to defend her title at the Prague Open last month as she was beaten in the quarter-finals by compatriot Tereza Valentova. It’s still been an excellent year for the Czech, as she won two titles in Bogota and Nottingham, which saw her ranking climb to a high of 21 in the world.
She received a bye in round one and now faces Taylor Townsend. The American picked up an impressive victory in the previous stage of the event as she defeated the dangerous Valentova. Townsend won 6-4 7-5 after one hour and 51 minutes. She has reached one final on the tour so far in 2026, at the ATX Open.
Townsend leads the head-to-head 2-1. Their most recent meeting was in the first-round of Indian Wells this year, with the American easily winning 6-2 6-1. Bouzkova is in better form compared to the early months of the campaign, and she is worth backing on this occasion.
