The British number one struggled for rhythm en route to a resounding 6-1 7-6 (0) defeat.
Katie Boulter’s quest to clinch another grass-court title ahead of Wimbledon was emphatically ended by a comprehensive Eastbourne quarter-final loss to French Open finalist Jasmine Paolini.
World number seven Paolini dominated the tactical battle against the British number one and adapted far better to blustery conditions at Devonshire Park.The tenacious 28-year-old Italian will next face either 2021 US Open champion Raducanu or last year’s Eastbourne runner-up Daria Kasatkina.“She’s a really good player on grass, of course she’s British, so it’s tough to beat her here, especially. I’m happy, I’m enjoying the grass here in Eastbourne.
Having already been distracted by a seagull and a piece of billowing litter, she finished the fourth and sixth games with double faults – the second of which occurred when the ball hit the frame of her racket and flew beyond the baseline. The prospect of three British women reaching the semi-finals of the Rothesay International had earlier been extinguished by Harriet Dart’s 6-2 6-1 loss to Leylah Fernandez in Thursday’s opening match.
