Katie Boulter will be looking for a return to the form she showed in San Diego, when she won her first WTA 500 level title, and faces Czech Brenda Fruhvirtova in her opener, after receiving a bye.
Tale of the Tape – Key Stats (2024)
| H2H: | Katie Boulter (WR 30) | Brenda Fruhvirtova (WR 106) |
| Tournament Previous Best | R2 (2021) | R1 (2023) |
| 1st Serve Return Points Won % | 35.7 | 37.9 |
| Return Points Won % | 43.8 | 43.6 |
| Break Point Conversion % | 41.2 | 48.5 |
| Break Points Saved % | 57.7 | 46.9 |
| Overall Service Points Won % | 60.7 | 59.3 |
Boulter was somewhat humbled straight after her San Diego victory with a first round loss in Indian Wells, and is pretty closely matched to Fruhvirtova in their stats over the year, so this will not be a foregone conclusion,

Playing Styles & Prediction
Talented Czech teen Fruhvirtova is continuing her progress on the tour with a third main draw win in her third tournament of the season. It has been a swift rise up the rankings, recently cracking the top 100.
Boulter has also been charging up the rankings, but a win for Fruhvirtova would hand the teen her biggest scalp on tour. Boulter has made plenty of improvements to her game, but she will need to dig deep to withstand yet another Czech talent, who can play without fear.
Prediction: Boulter in three sets.
