Katie Boulter has got a tough task ahead if she is to defeat Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova, but I think she’ll be glad that it’s not Karolina Muchova on the other side of the net.
Muchova, who was beaten by compatriot Noskova in the Wimbledon final, needed only 58 minutes to dump Boulter out of the US Open in the second round earlier this month, with the Brit winning just one game.
“Ultimately, it was a bad day at the office – times two,” said Boulter.
“I struggled with the conditions. I struggled with the roof, the noise, I let things distract me.
“I let it get to me. I’m not usually aware of everything going on. It made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. I have to deal with it better.”
“I would be really humbled [if I was Boulter], I would sit down with my team and say ‘OK, we need to change something big time’,” former world number five Daniela Hantuchova told BBC Radio 5 Live.
