As we take center court in this scorching heat, the compelling matchup between American dynamo Taylor Townsend and British ace Katie Boulter, we sense the symphony of rackets about to begin. Unseeded Taylor has been serving up some surprises recently, while 26 seed Boulter also has grit under her belt as she continues her Eastern journey. Let's break this down.

Townsend has been thundering on Trevisan, demolishing her in hard-fought battles. Sure, she lost to Badosa and Pegula, but to win against Kasatkina proves she can swing it with the best of them. Meanwhile, Boulter has been playing a bit like a Sunday morning cricket match, beautiful strokes but lacking the final runs. Tough losses to Bouzas Maneiro, Linette and Sabalenka expose cracks, even though she held her own against Sasnovich and showed up for an unfinished match with Haddad Maia.

It's like setting an English Breakfast next to a Philly Cheesesteak. Townsend's game might not have the finesse of a perfect omelet, but it's got that amped up energy of the perfect American street food. Boulter, calm and composed like her Sunday roast, might be put under pressure against Townsend’s spicy chipotle sauce. One can only hope she remembers to bring her Heinz Beans for some added power.

Get out your fan flags, people, we are about to witness a clash between the home of the Big Ben and the land of the Liberty Bell. Given Townsend's aggressive play, she might push Boulter out of her comfort zone, expecting at least a deuce situation, possibly in each set they play.

Albert’s Prediction: Townsend in 3 sets. She might suffer a bit of love but she’ll kick back twice as hard. Yep, It's cheesesteak over tea and biscuits today, after a good fight, of course.
