San Diego, March 2 (IANS) British No. 1 Katie Boulter showcased resilience and determination as she battled her way into her first WTA semi-final, after a straight-set 6-3, 6-4 victory over seventh-seed Donna Vekic at the San Diego Open.
Facing off against seventh-seed Donna Vekic, Boulter found herself tested early on as Vekic surged ahead, breaking Boulter’s serve to take a 3-1 lead in the first set. However, Boulter refused to let the match slip away, mounting a stunning comeback to level the score at 3-3.

Despite faltering momentarily, she summoned her resolve and unleashed a barrage of powerful shots, forcing Vekic into a grueling 24-shot rally. In a breathtaking display of skill and determination, Boulter emerged victorious, clinching the match and securing her spot in the semi-finals with a well-deserved win.
