Katie thinks positive as she opens up year

Last season was a struggle as Boulter dropped from 24th in the rankings to outside the top 100, losing her British number one ranking to Emma Raducanu and battling injuries.
“Adios 2025, don’t let the door hit you on the way out,” wrote Boulter on Instagram.
The 29-year-old chose to make a big change, splitting from long-term coach Biljana Veselinovic and turning to American Michael Joyce, who has previously worked with Maria Sharapova, Jessica Pegula and Johanna Konta.
The pair appear to have gelled well, while Boulter’s positive mood is also down to her impending wedding to Australian star Alex De Minaur.
“Seeing January 1, 2026 was a good start,” she said.
