Nottingham Open 2023: Katie Boulter beats Heather Watson to reach first WTA final

Katie Boulter beat fellow Briton Heather Watson to reach the Nottingham Open final - her first WTA final.

British number one Boulter won 6-4 7-5 in a rain-affected semi-final at the Nottingham Tennis Centre on Saturday.

It could be an all-British final as Jodie Burrage plays France's Alize Cornet in the second semi-final.

In the men's competition, Andy Murray is looking to win back-to-back grass-court tournaments and faces Portugal's Nuno Borges in the semi-final.

"I've worked so hard for this and I'm just going to keep plugging away," said 26-year-old Boulter.
