KATIE Boulter basked in one of the biggest wins of her career after joining the rest of the Brit Pack in the Wimbledon second round.
-
The British number two sank Spanish ninth seed Paula Badosa 6-2 3-6 6-4 for only her fourth win over a top-10 player, and her first in more than a year.
The Woodhouse Eaves ace said: “I mean, it’s certainly up there. Centre Court, Wimbledon, as a Brit, against a top-10 player, for me doesn’t get that much better.
“It is one of the reasons why I do play tennis, to win matches like that, and to have a go at the best in the world. I do feel like it is one of the best ones for sure in my career.
“I can’t tell you it’s the top one, because there’s been a few, but it’s definitely been top three.”
