The British No.1 will take on Elena  Rybakina (inset) in the biggest match of her career as she bids to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time.

But Boulter (left) showed she relishes the big occasion when she shocked former finalist and No.6 seed Karolina Pliskova on Centre Court last year.
