Katie Boulter v Taylor Townsend: How to watch, TV channel, live stream, start time and head-to-head stats

British number one Katie Boulter plays her first competitive match since the US Open when she takes on American Taylor Townsend in the second round of the China Open.

The 28-year-old from Leicestershire has enjoyed a superb 2024 that has seen her win a first WTA 500 title and achieve a career high ranking of 27 back in March, so will be keen to end the year with some more positive results.

It has been a superb few months for Townsend, who won the first Grand Slam title of her career when she claimed the Wimbledon women's doubles title with partner Katerina Siniakova, before entering the Canadian Open singles as a lucky loser and making it all the way to the quarter-finals of a WTA 1000 event for the first time.
