Who Will Win? Dart vs Bouzkova

When you line up the season stats, the difference in ranking and consistency is stark. Bouzkova enters ranked No. 26 in the world, backed by a strong 29-18 season record (62% win percentage) and two YTD titles. Dart sits at world No. 131 with a 4-6 YTD record (40% win percentage) and is searching for her first title of the year.

The recent form guide also favours the Czech star. Bouzkova comes into this fixture coming off a convincing straight-sets victory over Elsa Jacquemot on Tuesday, 1 September. In fact, Bouzkova has picked up three wins in her last five outings overall, including victories against Iva Jovic and Lucrezia Stefanini, with her only setbacks coming against top-tier opponent Cori Gauff and a battle on 6 August. On the flip side, Dart is coming off a last-start loss against Taylah Preston on Friday, 31 July, having previously posted wins against Emma Si Yu Dong and Kayla Cross.

Looking at their past head-to-head history, Dart took the honours in their lone clash back in June 2024 on grass. However, Bouzkova's overall consistency and career record of 170-139 (55% win percentage) compared to Dart's 51-87 career mark give her a big edge here. Head-to-head win markets place Bouzkova as the favourite at 1.17, while Dart is paying 5.10.
