Australian Open: British No. 1 Katie Boulter out in second round
British women’s No. 1 Katie Boulter is out of the Australian Open after a second round defeat to Veronika Kudermetova in Melbourne.
Boulter struggled for consistency as unforced errors held her back throughout the match, which she lost 7-6, 2-6, 6-2.
It marks another early Grand Slam exit for the 28-year-old, who has never advanced past the third round in a major tournament.
Had she won, Boulter would have become the fourth Brit to reach the third round, in what would have been a record for the country after Emma Raducanu, Jack Draper and Jacob Fearnley all won their second round matches.
Raducanu beat American Amanda Anisimova earlier on Thursday to set up a clash with World No. 2 Iga Swiatek on Saturday.

In a disappointing turn of events, British No. 1 Katie Boulter has been knocked out in the second round of the Australian Open. The 24-year-old, who was seeded 26th in the tournament, was defeated by her opponent in a hard-fought match.
Boulter had high hopes for the tournament and was aiming to make a deep run, but unfortunately, her journey has come to an end sooner than expected. Despite the loss, Boulter showed determination and fought hard until the very end.
Fans of Boulter will no doubt be disappointed by the result, but the young tennis player has shown great potential and will no doubt bounce back stronger in future tournaments. We wish her the best of luck in her future matches and hope to see her back in top form soon.
