Katie Boulter has shown flashes of talent throughout her career, with a win percentage of nearly 60% across 578 matches. However, her recent form reveals a different picture; with a 52.9% win rate over the last two years, she is currently trending downward, as evidenced by a 40% win rate in her last five outings. Her Elo rating of 2185 places her in a competitive tier, but her struggles on grass, where she has a lower rating of 1692, raise questions about her adaptability on this surface.
Boulter's recent results highlight a series of challenges, including a disappointing loss to Donna Vekic and a draw against Harriet Dart. However, she managed to secure a victory against Leylah Fernandez in their last encounter on June 9, which could provide a glimmer of hope. As she heads into this match, her recent form suggests she needs to regain her footing quickly to avoid further setbacks.
