Belinda Bencic comes into this Second Round clash flying high with a 73% YTD win percentage that jumps off the page! She takes on France's Lois Boisson on Sunday, 16 Aug, with action scheduled for 1:35 pm AEST.

Both players are coming off last-start victories, but the contrast in season form makes this matchup a compelling contest.

Who Will Win?

The numbers say world number 12 Belinda Bencic holds a massive edge here. Bencic boasts an impressive 27-10 record this year with one title under her belt, and she comes off a victory over Alexandra Eala on Mon, 10 Aug. That result makes it three straight wins in her recent overall form.

On the flip side, Lois Boisson sits at rank 281 with a 2-7 record in 2026, though she did grab a win last start against Ashlyn Krueger on Fri, 14 Aug. Boisson is 2-0 in her last two home outings, but she faces a major step up against a top-15 star.

There is no previous head-to-head history between these two, but Bencic enters as the clear head-to-head favourite on the board at 1.21 against Boisson at 4.50. Check out our tennis predictions to see where the value lies.
