Katie Boulter prevails over Jodie Burrage in WTA's 1st all-British final since 1977

Katie Boulter won the first all-British final on the WTA Tour in 46 years and secured her first career title by beating Jodie Burrage 6-3, 6-3 at the Nottingham Open on Sunday in England.

The last all-British final in 1977 saw Sue Barker beat Virginia Wade in San Francisco. Boulter beat Heather Watson 6-4, 7-5 in the first all-British semifinal on the tour in 48 years on Saturday.

Boulter, who extended her head-to-head record against Burrage to 3-0, is from nearby Leicester and considers this her home tournament.

"There was training here when I was four or five years old, coming here as a fan and also now as a player, dreaming big and somehow found a way to win it today," Boulter said. "It means more than everything to me."

Boulter had 13 winners to six overall for Burrage, who hadn't reached a WTA quarterfinal until this week.
