Considering the current form of the players, Taylor Townsend is expected to dominate despite a significant ranking gap. The American has shown more consistent performances on hard courts recently, and her results speak for themselves. Meanwhile, Bouzkova has not only lost ranking positions but also her confidence, particularly during her own service games. Townsend, with her dangerous return game, can certainly capitalize on this.
