NOTTINGHAM/STARNBERG, June 12, 2024
Defending champion Katie Boulter has advanced to the quarterfinals at the Rothesay Open WTA 250 grass-court tournament in Nottingham on a Wednesday marked by four British singles victories, including wins by Dan Evans, Charles Broom, and Jacob Fearnley in the ATP Challenger Tour 125 event.
Third-seeded Boulter secured a 6-4, 6-3 win over Canadian Rebecca Marino in just an hour and 16 minutes, in what was a relatively straightforward match for the British No.1.

“A lot of it was about staying sharp, going with the flow and serving well – it was a battle,” Boulter said.
“I have some childhood memories here so I always get that warm fuzzy feeling every time I come out here. Being back where it all started reminds me how far I’ve come.”
