WTA Cleveland Day 2 Predictions
Katie Boulter vs Yuan Yue
Head-to-head: Boulter 2-0 Yue
Katie Boulter’s season has been average at best so far, with only 16 wins from 30 matches. She also lost the mantle as Britain’s top-ranked WTA player and has plenty of points to defend in October. So this will be a good time to take off that pressure. But rhythm isn’t there, and Yuan Yue is the kind of player who can make her life difficult. The Chinese woman could grind her way to victory here.
