Boulter heads the British women’s contingent at Wimbledon, where she will be seeded for the first time.
The role of leading lady is not always a comfortable one but for Katie Boulter it has proved the perfect fit.
Boulter’s rise has been the opposite of countrywoman Raducanu, with the Leicestershire player spending years scrapping away at the lower levels of the sport before making her big breakthrough. “That week was definitely one of the toughest weeks for sure,” she said. “It was a lot of matches but I think the best thing for me is I came out of that week physically feeling good.
Not that Boulter has yet had any opportunity to celebrate her third title – again shared with an ATP Tour success for boyfriend Alex de Minaur – heading straight to Birmingham before illness finally got the better of her.“That’s the tennis player special isn’t it,” she said with a smile. “We live for the next day, we’re ready to go for the next tournament. I will take a moment at some point, maybe after the season, and have a look at that one.
“I am very excited for it,” she said. “I wait all year round to play that one tournament but, at the same time, tennis is a 52-week sport. It doesn’t revolve always around one thing. Wimbledon’s very special and I never take that for granted every time I get to walk out there.”Raducanu will make her return to Wimbledon after missing last year following wrist and ankle surgeries.
