British No1 Boulter Suffers Disappointing US Open Exit
British number one Katie Boulter faced a disappointing exit from the US Open after being upset in the second round by Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. The 31st seed in Flushing Meadows had a promising start, taking an early break in the first set. However, she struggled to maintain her advantage and ultimately lost in straight sets to the 21-year-old Spaniard, who had limited Grand Slam experience prior to this year.
Boulter, 28, showed glimpses of her potential throughout the match but was unable to convert her opportunities into a victory. Despite trying to mount a late comeback, she fell short in both sets, losing 7-5 in the first and the same score in the second. The defeat was a tough blow for Boulter, who had climbed the rankings this year after starting outside the top 150 in January. She had also impressed at Wimbledon, reaching the third round and defeating defending champion Marketa Vondrousova along the way.
During the match, cameras captured Boulter expressing her frustration to her team, describing the situation as “horrendous.” It was a stark contrast to her recent successes on the court, including her appearances at the Paris Olympics and her performance on hard courts leading up to the US Open. Despite the setback, Boulter remains determined to bounce back and continue her upward trajectory in the world of professional tennis.
