Boulter sets up potential all-British final with Burrage and Cornet
Posted : 17 June 2023
Katie Boulter secured a 6-4, 7-5 victory in a rain-affected semi-final, setting up a potential all-British final at the Nottingham Tennis Centre. Jodie Burrage and France's Alize Cornet are set to face off in the second semi-final.
Boulter expressed her dedication and hard work, emphasizing her determination to keep pushing forward. Despite the challenging match against Heather Watson, she showcased resilience and emerged victorious.
The tournament has been notable for British players, with four women reaching the quarter-finals, a first in the 50-year history of the WTA.
For Watson, the search for a grass-court title on home soil continues, as she has previously won four WTA titles but none on grass and none in the United Kingdom.
Boulter's powerful forehand shots and unwavering performance enabled her to regain control of the match after a rain delay and secure her spot in the final.
Notably, Boulter recently became the British number one, replacing the injured Emma Raducanu, and is poised to retain her position unless Burrage claims the title. The upcoming final promises an exciting showdown between British talent.
