Queen 2025: Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter advance in the women’s championship

Bault said she “dreams” to play in the Queens Championship after a tortuous game.

After years of watching the men’s championships, the 28-year-old said playing football at the inaugural Women’s WTA 500 event at the iconic venue was “special”.

“I came out yesterday to see Andy get his first court [named after him]this itself is very special. ” she said.

“It’s special to get women back here. It’s actually something I’m dreaming about, and I’ve been here to watch men’s games in recent years, so I’m really happy to be in this court.”

In the ostensibly first singles game of the season, Boulter led to a tricky championship in a tricky game, seeing a breakout point before impressively standing out but missing out on the 5-4 game.

Instead, Boulter relied on her post to free her from the troubles of the first set, smashing a forehand winner, bringing the game to the game in just over an hour.

But things spin quickly when Boulter struggles to find any rhythm, falls down on a double break and struggles to find the answer.

And, relying heavily on strong serves in the first set, she doubled wears on the first point of the Decider’s first game, laying the foundation for Tomljanovic.

Now, without winning six games for Boulter in six games, the home crowd is flat and trying to give the British the boost she needs.

This happened soon after, though, as Boulter immediately broke down and rediscovered some momentum, three straight games.

With that, there were more to-dos and deals followed, as neither player was able to serve, but Boulter eventually kept her calm at 4-4, keeping the game before Tomljanovic’s forehand dropped for a long time.

She will face Poland’s Magdalena feature or fifth seed Diana Shnaider in the next round.
