Boulter excited to keep British momentum going at Surbiton

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.

»I think it is what we should be focussing on. «I am so happy to see all these girls doing super well. »These are the wins that mean the most to me, because ultimately I found a way in tricky conditions." British No.5 Swan was on the verge of winning the first set of her Round of 16 clash with Océane Dodin before her French rival retired.

16-year-old Lacy's fairytale run in the tournament continued following the withdrawal of the USA's Sachia Vickery. Miyazaki then recorded a convincing 6-4 7-5 triumph over her long-term friend Eden Silva before Boulter made history on Court 1. And it could have gotten even better.
