Boulter is ringing in new year

KATIE BOULTER has wiped the slate clean on the toughest of times.

Now she is looking ahead to an "unbelievable" year.

She marries world No.6 Alex de Minaur in the summer, but more immediately is hoping to follow him into the second round of the Australian Open.

Boulter was the No.22 seed coming into Melbourne 12 months ago - this time, she is ranked outside the top 100 and only made the main draw after several withdrawals.
