atie Boulter won her first WTA title after beating fellow Briton Jodie Burrage in the final of the Nottingham Open.
In the first all-British tour-level final in 46 years, Boulter outplayed her good friend to win 6-3, 6-3.
Boulter, who is from Leicester and considers Nottingham her home tournament, said: “I dreamed of this moment, to win this tournament, as a little girl when I was four years old.

"I’ve played so many British players, we appreciate an all-British final and what an incredible achievement it is.”
