Katie Boulter defeats Heather Watson in straight sets to reach Nottingham Open final
Katie Boulter reached the Nottingham Open final with a 6-4 7-5 victory over fellow Briton Heather Watson. The two were playing for the chance to reach the final at Nottingham as they prepare for the upcoming Wimbledon championships next month, with three UK players in the tournament's semis. Ad The 26-year-old Boulter’s win moves her into her first WTA final, and into the top 100 of the women’s rankings, which should be enough to earn her a wildcard entry into the upcoming event at SW19.
