Boulter vs. Bencic: Australian Open Showdown!
19 Jan
Summary
- Bencic leads their head-to-head after winning their 2022 encounter.
- Bencic enters the Australian Open first round match with strong form.
- Boulter has added tactical patience to her powerful baseline game.

Katie Boulter is set to face Belinda Bencic in the first round of the Australian Open at Melbourne Park. Bencic, a former world No. 4, is in strong form, having gone undefeated in singles matches at the recent United Cup, where she was awarded MVP.
Boulter, previously ranked No. 23, has played two matches this season, splitting them at the ASB Classic in Auckland. Her game, characterized by powerful baseline hitting and a strong serve, has evolved to include more patient rallying in recent years.
Bencic won their sole WTA Tour-level meeting in Tallinn in 2022. Despite Bencic's current confidence and aggressive all-court style, Boulter will aim to draw inspiration from their previous three-set contest as they prepare for their Melbourne Park encounter.
