Boulter came into the opening major of the season on the back of a fine 2024 in which she rose into the world’s top 25 for the first time.
A deep run at a Grand Slam tournament has continued to elude her, though, despite the benefit of being seeded at the French Open, Wimbledon, the US Open and now the Australian Open.
Before the tournament on the Melbourne hard courts, Boulter talked about “putting more emphasis” on performing well at the sport’s most prestigious events.
What looked to be a favourable draw enhanced the opportunity to achieve that.
But she admitted battling past Canada’s 98th-ranked Rebecca Marino in the first round was “stressful” and again looked subdued against another player ranked way below her.
“I was thinking straight the whole time. I just don’t think I quite played the way that I wanted to play,” said Boulter.
Boulter’s early exit is even tougher to take considering she arrived at Melbourne Park having started the season well.
Strong showings at the season-opening United Cup included pushing five-time major champion Iga Swiatek in a narrow defeat.
“Last week I’m going toe to toe with Swiatek. Your level doesn’t go anywhere from week to week,” Boulter added.
“It’s just about now being able to transfer that and keep going at it and making it more consistent.”
In a surprising turn of events at the Australian Open 2025, British tennis player Katie Boulter has been knocked out of the tournament in the second round by Russian player Veronika Kudermetova.
Boulter, who was a rising star in the tennis world, was unable to overcome Kudermetova’s powerful game and fell to a 6-4, 6-3 defeat. Despite putting up a valiant effort, Boulter was ultimately unable to match Kudermetova’s consistency and precision on the court.
This loss is undoubtedly a disappointing setback for Boulter, who had high hopes for a strong showing at this year’s Australian Open. However, it serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of the sport and the fierce competition that exists at the highest levels of tennis.
As for Kudermetova, this victory marks a significant milestone in her career and sets her up for a potentially deep run in the tournament. With her impressive performance against Boulter, she has proven herself as a force to be reckoned with on the court.
Stay tuned for more updates and results from the Australian Open 2025 as the tournament continues to unfold.

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.
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.

Great Britain’s hopes of reaching the United Cup semi-finals rely on Katie Boulter beating five-time major champion Iga Swiatek after Billy Harris narrowly lost to former world number six Hubert Hurkacz.
Harris, 29, pushed 16th-ranked Hurkacz in the opening match of the best-of-three tie before going down 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 in Sydney.
The late-blooming Harris, who is ranked 125th in the world after making huge strides in the past two years, was aiming to give Britain a platform to reach the last four with the biggest win of his career.
His defeat means 28-year-old Boulter must beat Swiatek later on Thursday to tee up a deciding mixed doubles match.
Harris has been playing as Britain’s leading man in the mixed gender team event with Jack Draper nursing a hip injury and Cameron Norrie starting the season at an ATP event in Hong Kong.
While he served strongly, Harris was unable to break 2021 Wimbledon semi-finalist Hurkacz and fell short in the decisive moments.
A tight first set saw neither player face a break point until the Briton fought off two opportunities for Hurkacz in a tense 12th game, eventually hanging on to his serve to force a tie-break.
A costly error from Harris – a miscue long with an overhead – handed an early mini-break to Hurkacz, whose pedigree at the highest level was demonstrated by the way he used that to clinically secured the lead.
Despite falling behind, Harris showed his mental toughness in the second set. He reset quickly to create three break points in the second game, only for Hurkacz to fight back from 0-40 with five huge serves getting him out of trouble.
Harris was eventually broken when Hurkacz pounced for a 6-5 lead and, with the wind taken out of the Briton’s sails, the 27-year-old Pole quickly wrapped up victory with a hold to love.
“I am super pleased, it was a difficult battle with Billy,” said Hurkacz, whose run to the Wimbledon semi-finals is his best performance at a major.
In an intense match at the United Cup, Great Britain’s Billy Harris faced off against Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz, ultimately falling short in a hard-fought battle on the court. Despite Harris’s best efforts, Hurkacz’s strong serves and strategic gameplay secured him the victory.
Next up, all eyes are on Great Britain’s Katie Boulter as she prepares to take on Poland’s Iga Swiatek in what promises to be another thrilling match. Both players are known for their skill and determination, making this upcoming showdown one to watch.
Stay tuned for more updates and results from the United Cup as the competition heats up on the tennis court.
“I’ve been trying to avoid all the stats on all this but we were at dinner with [former British number one] Laura Robson last night, and she thankfully told me I had to win in straight sets,” Boulter said.
“So I was feeling the pressure from last night.”
Australia’s Alex de Minaur, who is Boulter’s fiance, faces Billy Harris in the men’s singles before the mixed doubles, but neither result will have an impact on GB’s progression.
Boulter is scheduled to play in the mixed doubles, but De Minaur is not.
Alexander Shevchenko helped Kazakhstan reach the quarter-finals as they knocked out defending champions Germany, who were without world number two Alexander Zverev because of a biceps injury.
Poland also qualified, with Iga Swiatek beating the Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova.
In a thrilling display of skill and determination, Katie Boulter has led Great Britain to the quarter-finals of the United Cup. The talented tennis player showcased her incredible talent on the court, dominating her opponents and securing crucial wins for her team.
Boulter’s stellar performance has been a driving force behind Great Britain’s success in the tournament, inspiring her teammates and capturing the hearts of fans worldwide. Her unwavering focus and impressive athleticism have been instrumental in propelling her team to the next round of competition.
As Boulter continues to shine on the court, the Great Britain team looks poised for a deep run in the United Cup. With her leadership and exceptional talent, there is no doubt that she will play a key role in their quest for victory.
Stay tuned as Katie Boulter and Great Britain take on their next opponents in the quarter-finals of the United Cup, as they aim to secure a spot in the semi-finals and continue their impressive run in the tournament. #UnitedCup #KatieBoulter #GreatBritain #QuarterFinals
Boulter’s Great Britain team defeated Argentina 2-1, handing her fiance and the Aussies a big chance to make the quarter-finals. Boulter and Charles Broom sealed victory for Team GB with a 7-6 (7-4) 7-5 win over Maria Carle and Tomas Etcheverry in the mixed doubles at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney.

Boulter had earlier won the women’s singles rubber with a 6-2 6-3 win against Nadia Podoroska, and continued her impressive form in the doubles. It means Australia can still progress to the quarters after their loss to Argentina in the opening tie.
De Minaur and the Aussies would need to beat his fiancee’s GB team on Wednesday to progress to the knockout stage. “We did them (Australia) a favour today giving them a 2-1 win, so they can thank us later for that,” Boulter said. “We’ve got everything to play for. I’m going to come in all blazing.”

Boulter is unlikely to come face-to-face with de Minaur in the mixed doubles on Wednesday, with Matt Ebden and Ellen Perez the likely picks for Australia. And she admitted it won’t be easy cheering for her teammates to beat her fiance.
“I don’t know about having a little match against him,” Boulter said. “I think that’s going to be terrible and a bit of a popcorn match.” It marks the second year in a row that Boulter and de Minaur have clashed on rival teams in the United Cup. And it comes after the superstar couple announced their engagement earlier this month after four years together.
Novak Djokovic’s cheeky sledge for Nick Kyrgios
Meanwhile, Kyrgios teamed up with Djokovic to beat Alexander Erler and Andreas Mies 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 10-8 in the doubles in Brisbane on Monday night. Kyrgios didn’t show any signs of rust while playing just his second tour-level match in two-and-a-half years, producing a strong serving display and moving freely.
Djokovic was full of praise for Kyrgios, but burned his Aussie friend with a cheeky sledge during their on-court interview. When Kyrgios said he was trying to be as “professional” as possible, Djokovic cracked back: “The highlight of this interview so far… his sentence, ‘I’m trying to be professional.’ I love it. I love it.”

The 24-time grand slam champion was so impressed by what he saw that he reckons Kyrgios can trouble anyone at the Australian Open – even the world’s best. “Hopefully Nick can stay healthy because, with this game, he can beat anybody on any surface, so it’s great and exciting news for all the tennis world seeing him back on the court,” Djokovic said. “It’s hopefully a great start of the season for both of us and we can keep it going in singles and see how far we can go.”

Djokovic was back in action after skipping the ATP Finals at the end of the season. He won gold at the Paris Olympics in 2024, but failed to win a single grand slam for the first time in seven years. However the 10-time Australian Open champion is adamant he can claim an unprecedented 25th grand slam crown in 2025.
“I feel great, cannot ask for a better start of the season sharing the court with Nick for the first time,” said the Serb. “Winning the match, getting a little bit of a feel for for the court. I look forward to obviously singles, a completely different, different match, different feeling on the court I’m going to have to do – much more running, but I’m ready for it.”

Katie Boulter, the British No 1, admitted she was hoping to avoid having to play her Australian fiance, Alex de Minaur, after leading Great Britain to victory over Argentina in the United Cup.
Boulter teamed up with Charlie Broom to clinch the tie in Sydney with a 7-6 (4), 7-5 win over Tomás Martín Etcheverry and María Lourdes Carlé in the decisive mixed doubles rubber.
With their first victory, Britain will now shift their attention to their tussle with Australia on Wednesday. The Australian team is led by De Minaur and also boasts Matt Ebden, the men’s doubles Olympic gold medallist, meaning Boulter is unlikely to compete directly against her fiance. Still, both are determined to gain bragging rights from the tie and, on Monday, De Minaur was courtside as Boulter sealed her win.
“I don’t know about having a match against him, I think that’s going to be terrible, and a bit of a popcorn match,” Boulter said. “But yeah, let’s hope we don’t reach there and we win before.
“It’s a tough situation. He was smiling when I came off the court because we kept them in it, so he’s happy. I’m just looking forward to a battle. I don’t know what’s going to happen on the day. I just have to keep my head down and try not to think too much about it, but we’re both going to be fighting for it. We both want it. We both are competitive.”
Boulter had started the day with a solid singles performance, defeating Nadia Podoroska 6-2, 6-3 before Etcheverry took Argentina’s only point with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over a solid Billy Harris, who was playing in place of the injured Jack Draper. The 28-year-old Boulter said she was happy to begin the season strongly after securing the result for Britain in the final rubber.
“I really enjoyed my time on court today,” Boulter said. “I love playing doubles. I really don’t get that much chance to play. I feel like I can relax and play my game and enjoy it even more than the singles, but obviously I’m very happy to get through my first singles win. It’s never easy at the start of a season.

“I’ve been playing some really good stuff in practice this week. Obviously it’s not always [easy] to translate back on to the match court. I felt like I did that pretty well. I’ve got a long way to go and I’ve got a lot to bring this year, but it was a good start. Yeah, I’m happy with it.”
Meanwhile, Kazakhstan reached the quarter-finals of the mixed team tournament with a comfortable win over Greece in Perth, as Elena Rybakina defeated Maria Sakkari 6-4, 6-3 after Alexander Shevchenko stunned Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Former Wimbledon champion Rybakina, who is using the 18-nation tournament to prepare for next month’s Australian Open, edged a tight opening set against Sakkari before powering 5-0 ahead in the next. She was broken late on but stayed composed to close out the contest on serve, leaving her new coach, Goran Ivanisevic, beaming in the dugout.
“We’ve just been working a couple weeks together. This is our first official tournament,” Rybakina said. “We’re still getting to know each other a bit. He’s a fun guy. He gives some experience from when he played and also as a coach. I’m just happy to work with him. Hopefully we’ll have some good results together.”
Shevchenko pulled off a major upset when he downed an ill and error-prone Tsitsipas 6-4, 7-6 (0) to put Kazakhstan on course for victory. “It will definitely go in my record as one of my best wins,” Shevchenko said of defeating the world No 11. “He wasn’t at his best today but still I played really well and I found the moments to win the match.”
The women’s world No 2, Iga Swiatek, will be in action when Poland face Norway in Group B, while the defending champions, Germany, meet China in Group E.
Katie Boulter, the British tennis player, has revealed that she is dreading the prospect of facing her fiance, Australian tennis player Alex de Minaur, in the upcoming United Cup tournament.
The couple, who got engaged earlier this year, are both set to compete in the prestigious tournament, which will see top players from around the world battle it out on the court.
Boulter, known for her powerful game and fighting spirit, admitted that the thought of facing de Minaur on the court is a daunting prospect.
“I love Alex to bits, but when we step onto the court, it’s all business,” Boulter said in a recent interview. “I know how talented he is and how fiercely competitive he can be, so I’m definitely not looking forward to facing him on the other side of the net.”
Despite her reservations, Boulter is determined to give her all in the tournament and is hoping for a successful run, even if it means potentially facing off against her fiance.
The United Cup promises to be an exciting event for tennis fans, with top players like Boulter and de Minaur set to showcase their skills and compete for the title. It remains to be seen whether the couple will indeed face each other on the court, but one thing is for sure – it will be a match to remember.

Katie Boulter looks set to swerve a meeting with fiancé Alex de Minaur on New Year’s Day as she and Charles Broom team up again in the mixed doubles at the United Cup in Australia.
The British No 1 and Broom were victorious on Monday as they beat Argentinian duo Maria Lourdes Carle and Tomas Etcheverry 7-6 7-5, with Boulter having won her opening singles clash against Nadia Podoroska a day earlier.
The draw had presented the prospect of Boulter facing off against newly-engaged fiancé De Minaur given Great Britain and Australia are both in Group F, something she had admittedly been keen to avoid.
“I don’t know about having a match against him, I think that’s going to be terrible, and a bit of a popcorn match,” Boulter said earlier this week. “But yeah, let’s hope we don’t reach there and we win before.
“It’s a tough situation. He was smiling when I came off the court because we kept them in it, so he’s happy. I’m just looking forward to a battle. I don’t know what’s going to happen on the day. I just have to keep my head down and try not to think too much about it, but we’re both going to be fighting for it. We both want it. We both are competitive.”

That now seems unlikely to happen, with Ellen Perez and Matthew Ebden listed as Boulter and Broom’s opponents. Nonetheless, it beckons as another shot at Great Britain vs Australia bragging rights, regardless of De Minaur’s involvement.
It also continues a special week for world No 276-ranked Broom, who previously attended Ivy League Dartmouth and only made his Wimbledon debut this summer when he was beaten by Stan Wawrinka as a wild card.

Highlights of Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic’s win in their Brisbane International match
“[I like] the atmosphere (at the United Cup),” he told the ATP Tour website. “I love having the team benches as well. When you’re going there, in the change of ends or end of set, you’ve got the coaching there, all the guys supporting, all the team supporting. It’s great. It’s unique, that’s for sure,” Broom said of the United Cup, where he is debuting. “There’s nothing else that compares to it even when I played mixed doubles at Wimbledon.
“I love that, but it was still very much that you’re on your own, can’t have coaching, That is just a bit differently, I feel the United Cup has been eye opening, for sure. And I’ve loved it.”
Boulter is also due to take on Olivia Gadecki in the singles draw, while De Minaur is listed to face Great Britain’s Billy Harris.
Elsewhere at the Brisbane International the pairing of Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios are due to return to action against Nikola Mektic and Michael Venus in the round of 16.
Katie Boulter, the British tennis player, is set to face off against her fiancé Alex de Minaur in the upcoming Davis Cup tie between Great Britain and Australia. Boulter will be teaming up with her mixed doubles partner Charles Broom to take on the Australian duo, which includes de Minaur.
The couple, who got engaged earlier this year, have been dating since 2018 and have often been seen supporting each other at their respective matches. However, this time, they will be on opposite sides of the net, with Boulter looking to help her team secure a victory against her fiancé’s team.
Despite their personal relationship, Boulter and de Minaur are both professionals and will no doubt give their all on the court. Boulter will be hoping to avoid any potential awkwardness by focusing on her partnership with Broom, who she has had success with in mixed doubles in the past.
The upcoming tie promises to be an exciting and closely contested match, with both teams boasting strong line-ups. Tennis fans will be eagerly watching to see how Boulter and de Minaur handle the unique situation of facing off against each other on the court.

“Firstly he’s there for advice,” she told Sky Sports News earlier this month.
“He’s got some credence, so I have to take his advice on board and I don’t mind listening to him once in a while.
“I don’t know if he takes it well from me but he knows what he’s doing. He’s been around the sport for so long, even though he’s so young.
“He’s got such great experience and he’s already been through so much.”
