Katie Boulter targets Wimbledon seeding after San Diego title

Britain's Katie Boulter feels like she has a "free swing" at a Wimbledon seeding as she aims to build on winning the biggest title of her career.

Boulter, 27, won the San Diego Open on Sunday, recovering from a set down to beat Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk.

The triumph moved her up to a career-high ranking of 27th and she is eyeing being a top-32 seed at the Grand Slams.

"It makes a difference to who you play in the tournament so it is a huge aim of mine," said Boulter.

After her "very special" win in San Diego, which came on the same weekend as her boyfriend Alex de Minaur claimed the ATP Tour title in Acapulco, Boulter flew straight to Indian Wells for the BNP Paribas Open.
