- British player beats Xiyu Wang of China 7-6 (7), 6-4
- ‘That was quite a match. I’m proud of myself today’
Katie Boulter continued to rediscover her form in the final weeks of her season as she reached the quarter-finals of the Hong Kong Open with a tough 7-6 (7), 6-4 win over Xiyu Wang of China.
Boulter endured a challenging few months after Wimbledon, compiling a 6-8 record between July and mid-October while failing to win consecutive matches at any event. But while many of Boulter’s peers have already started their off-season, her decision to play an extended Asian swing has paid off.
