Viktorija Golubic vs Katie Boulter prediction

Viktorija Golubic failed to qualify for the Japan Open last time out, losing in the first stage to Maya Joint in three sets. The Swiss’ best tour-level result of the season remains a run to the semi-finals of the Nottingham Open. Golubic is currently ranked 87 in the live rankings. 

She faces Katie Boulter in the first-round of the Hong Kong Tennis Open. Boulter impressed last time out, advancing to the last four in Osaka after three straight wins. Her run ended against Katerina Siniakova in straight sets. Boulter does have a title to her name this season, following success at the Ostrava Open. 

Boulter leads the overall head-to-head 3-2 and has won their last two matches, though Golubic leads 2-1 on outdoor hard court. They faced each other just over a week ago in Osaka, with the Briton cruising to a 6-2 6-1 victory. I expect a tighter battle this time around, but Boulter is the favourite to win once more.
