LONDON : British wildcard Katie Boulter sent last year's runner-up Karolina Pliskova crashing out of Wimbledon with a shock 3-6 7-6 6-4 win on Centre Court on Thursday.
After the bitter home disappointment of the previous day when Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray both bowed out on Centre Court, Boulter gave the fans something to cheer. Boulter, 25, stayed remarkably cool as she finished the match off in style with a volley to reach the third round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time in her career.
