Eastbourne: Ryan Peniston beats Holger Rune and Katie Boulter defeats Karolina Pliskova

Ryan Peniston beat another notable name on British grass by fighting back to overcome French Open quarter-finalist Holger Rune at Eastbourne.

The British men's number six beat world number five Casper Ruud on his way to the Queen's quarter-finals last week.

In the final event before Wimbledon, Peniston, 26, won 4-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-1 against Denmark's eighth seed Rune.

Meanwhile, Katie Boulter came back to beat 2021 Wimbledon runner-up Karolina Pliskova in the WTA second round.

Boulter, the British women's number four, responded impressively after the Czech dominated the opening set to prevail 1-6 6-4 6-4 and secure her first win over a top-10 opponent.
