Katie Boulter responds to Sonay Kartal run by backing up Japan Open win

Katie Boulter has moved into the quarter-finals of the Japan Open after a swift victory over Viktorija Golubic, winning 6-2, 6-1 in under an hour. This performance follows a first-round win against Himeno Sakatsume and keeps her in contention to reclaim the British No 1 ranking from Sonay Kartal, who recently reached the final at the Wuhan Open.

Boulter noted that her ability to remain patient despite challenging, windy conditions was key to her success. She now awaits the winner of the match between Antonia Ruzic and Kayla Day to determine her next opponent in the tournament.
