My Prediction
Boulter in 3 sets.As we peek into the upcoming clash between Irina-Camelia Begu and Katie Boulter, we see two gladiators with distinct stat sheets. Boulter, the 25th seed, carries a bit of swagger with her. Now, her recent form has been as unpredictable as my mother-in-law's meatloaf - one moment it's heavenly; the next, not so much.
She's won twice, lost twice, then won and lost again - as inconsistent as a broken metronome. However, her recent win over Marino is an encouraging sign before she gets into this showdown.
Now, let's ogle at Begu for a while. She's an unseeded competitor, but don't let that fool you. Since we're all about transparency here, she recently knocked Li A. out of the park. But again, like a roller coaster with ups and downs, she's seen defeats face to face a tad bit more frequently than our 25th seed.
Taking a gander at the seedings, recent form, and the mysterious glow of my magic-8 ball, the scales seem to be tilting towards our seed, Katie Boulter. Don't you just 'love' a game that's hard to predict?
Albert's Prediction: Boulter in 3 sets.
