Katie gets a much needed win

L32:- Katie Boulter (GBR) WR50 [7] [WC] defeated Yue Yuan (CHN) WR63 6-4 6-3

She says she would have loved to have played mixed doubles in New York, but had to prioritise singles.

From the scoring that looks a real tough battle, lots of break points, failing to serve it out. But she got over the line, well done Katie!

Phew.

Glad to see Katie get a win.

Andy Parker · Club Coach

Katie was well down in the first set at one point, but battled back to get the first set - a much needed win and real boost to her confidence, which was probably near rock bottom before this win - if she can get past Golubic in the next round, then maybe she can start to feel a little better.

She is right to enter this tournament over the Mixed Doubles at the US Open - her form is so dire lately that she really needs the wins to restore both confidence and momentum. I was very happy to see the win happen - it was about 4 am UK time when she finally got through in the end.

QF:- Emily Appleton (GBR) / Isabelle Haverlag (NED) CR160 (79+81) v Anastasia Detiuc (CZE) / Miriam Skoch (CZE) CR171 (80+91)

Emily and Isabella beat Detiuc (+Kalshnikova) in Prague recently, but little in the way of past form togo on as the Czechs appear to be a new pairing (last match together was Linz in February)

Not the result we wanted. However, I think the decision to play this tournament was still the right one. She picked up a win and lost to a player who is really quite tricky and doesn't give you a lot of pace to play off. Not like she lost to a relatively unknown player. Not sure what the conditions were like but it has been pretty windy at this tournament.
