<\/p>\nKatie Boulter recorded her seventh straight win on the WTA Tour as Camila Osorio retired from their Merida Open clash.<\/p>\n
The British No 3 arrived in Mexico on the back of winning the Ostrava Open and overcame issues with her serve to edge past Beatriz Haddad Maia in the opening round.<\/p>\n
Boulter, 29, had taken the first set 6-3 when Colombian Osorio called for the physio and decided against continuing the contest.<\/p>\n
The victory sees Boulter progress to the last eight, where she will either face top seed Jasmine Paolini or Australia’s Priscilla Hon.<\/p>\n
Boulter said in her courtside interview: “Obviously we really don’t want to see women with injuries, it’s been pretty tough recently. I’ve seen a lot of people with them and I’ve been through them myself so I know how difficult it is.<\/p>\n
“It’s really not fun so I wish her the very best and I hope to see her next week in Indian Wells and hopefully it’s something small.”<\/p>\n
She added: “Obviously, I really love playing in front of a lot of people so it’s really nice to have everyone out here supporting the tournament. I’m just happy to be out here and playing more matches.”<\/p>\n

Jones suffers first-round exit in Austin<\/p>\n
Britain’s Fran Jones made a first-round exit at the ATX Open in Austin as Peyton Stearns recovered from a set down to edge a closely-fought contest.<\/p>\n
Home favourite Stearns reeled off the first three games, but Jones took the next seven to win the first set and hold at the start of the second.<\/p>\n
But the 25-year-old began to struggle with her serve and was broken in six of her last seven service games as Stearns wrapped up a 3-6 6-3 6-2 victory.<\/p>\n
It was Jones’ first match since she left the court in tears at the Australian Open after pulling out of her opening match with a leg injury.<\/p>\n
