In their two previous encounters, Katie Bolter and Coco Gauff each claimed a victory. Both players confidently advanced in Beijing without dropping a set, and they will face off again in the third round on September 29. Who will emerge victorious today and what precise bets should be placed? Our expert’s prediction has the answers.
Command Analysis
Katie Boulter
Great BritainCurrent Form
Bulter hasn't been at her best during the North American hard court segment of the season. She only showed her potential in Toronto, reaching the round of 16. However, in Beijing, Katie kicked off with a confident win over Townsend (6-4, 6-4), displaying more consistency than her opponent from the baseline.
Professional Qualities
Katie boasts a powerful first serve and aims to finish points quickly. When she's in form, her baseline play is impressively stable.
Current Tour Stats
Despite her typical inconsistency, Katie is having a successful season overall. Since the beginning of the year, she has played 45 matches, securing 28 victories. On outdoor hard courts, the British player has a solid record with 16 wins out of 23 matches played.
Betting Insights

- In Beijing, Katie advanced to the third round for the first time in her career.
Cori Gauff
USACurrent Form
Coco Gauff was unable to showcase her best at the US Open, losing in the Round of 16 to Navarro. Following that setback, she did not compete before the Beijing tournament. In China's capital, she faced Burrell, where she secured victory in two sets (7-5, 6-3) despite some inconsistency in her game. Notably, Gauff needs to defend points from her semifinal appearance at this tournament last year.
Professional Skills
Coco possesses excellent speed and knows how to position herself effectively on the court for her attacks. Her forehand is a strong weapon, though she doesn't always maintain a consistent serve.

Gauff has slipped to sixth in the world rankings, having recently been the world number two. She typically excels on hard courts, recording 23 wins against eight losses this year.
