In the first all-British final since 1977 San Francisco, Katie Boulter clinched her maiden WTA title with a 6-3 6-3 victory over Jodie Burrage at the Rothesay Open in Nottingham. The 26-year-old from Leicester realized her childhood dream by becoming a champion at what she considers her home tournament.
The world No.126 Boulter opened her campaign at the Rothesay Open with a win over Emily Appleton in the first round, her first Tour-level main-draw win since September 2022 at Tallinn. Then she went on to defeat Daria Snigur, Harriet Dart, Heather Watson, and finally the world No.
