Katie Boulter, Harriet Dart and Jodie Burrage helped create history as four British women are in the quarter-finals of a WTA Tour event for the first time after their progression at the Nottingham Open.
Heather Watson and George Loffhagen reached the quarter-finals of the LTA's Rothesay Open Nottingham on a busy day of British action at the Nottingham Tennis Centre. Watson faced a tough second round match against Tatjana Maria, her best friend on tour and former doubles partner who reached the semi-final at Wimbledon last year. Ad At 66th in the world, Maria is 129 spots above the Brit in the world rankings though the gap did not show as Watson produced a stylish performance to prevail 6-4 6-4 on Centre Court.
Heather Watson starred at the LTA's Rothesay Open in Nottingham on Monday as she eased her way to the second round. After coming through qualifying Watson — who is supported by LTA's Pro Access Programme — was handed a tough opening round encounter against Germany's Jule Niemeier.
Heather Watson believes competing amid the growing strength and depth of women's tennis helped her seal an impressive opening round win at the LTA's Rothesay Open in Nottingham. Watson, who is supported by LTA's Pro Access Programme, came through two rounds of qualifying to reach the main draw in Nottingham, and was pitted against hard-hitting German Jule Niemeier. Ad Niemeier prevailed when the two met on Centre Court at Wimbledon last year but it was a different story today, with Watson rallying from 4-1 down in the opening set to claim an 6-4 6-3 victory.
Katie Boulter wants to see British women maintain the momentum for the entire grass-court season after a record-equalling four players reached the quarterfinals of the LTA's Lexus Surbiton Trophy. Isabelle Lacy, Katie Swan, Lily Yuriko Miyazaki, and the British No.3 progressed, meaning there will be four women in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2017 when Naomi Broady, Harriet Dart, Heather Watson, and Katy Dunne reached the same stage. Ad Boulter came out on top against wildcard Sonay Kartal, showing immense heart to battle back from a set down and record a sensational 6-3 3-6 4-6 triumph over the British No.8.
Four British women will play in the quarterfinals of the LTA's Lexus Surbiton Trophy for the first time since 2017 following another fantastic day of action in West London. Katie Swan, Lily Yuriko Miyazaki, Isabelle Lacy, and Katie Boulter progressed through the Round of 16, following in the footsteps of Naomi Broady, Harriet Dart, Heather Watson, and Katy Dunne's astounding achievement five years ago. Ad Miyazaki won another Battle of the Brits, storming to a straight-set victory over Eden Silva.
Isabelle Lacy could not hide her excitement after Sachia Vickery's withdrawal from the LTA's Lexus Surbiton Trophy guaranteed she would be one of a record four British players in the quarterfinals. The 16-year-old, Katie Swan, Lily Yuriko Miyazaki, and Katie Boulter progressed, meaning there will be four women in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2017 when Naomi Broady, Harriet Dart, Heather Watson, and Katy Dunne reached the same stage. Ad The Surbiton High School A-Levels student beat Madison Brengle in the Round of 32, her first victory over someone ranked in the top 100 players on the planet.
Heather Watson insists she is still on track to peak at the perfect time after her grass court season got underway with a disappointing defeat at the LTA's Lexus Surbiton Trophy. The Guernsey ace was beaten by Maddison Inglis 2-6 7-6 (3) 7-6 (6) despite being on the cusp of victory at the end of the second set.
