Boulter wins one game in 58-minute US Open defeat
British number one Katie Boulter is dumped out in the second round of the US Open as she wins just one game in a 58-minute demolition by Karolina Muchova.
In a brief 58-minute match at the US Open, British number one Katie Boulter was eliminated in the second round after suffering a 6-1, 6-0 defeat to seventh seed Karolina Muchova. The match, originally set to be played on an outer court, was moved indoors to the Louis Armstrong Stadium due to heavy rain. Boulter's performance was marred by eight double faults, no aces, and 33% success rate behind her first serve.
She failed to convert seven break points and accumulated 22 unforced errors compared to Muchova's 9. Despite the loss, recent personal triumphs for Boulter include her marriage to Australian world number seven Alex de Minaur in July. Former world number five Daniela Hantuchova attributed Boulter's loss to her serve, suggesting she needs to change her approach and practice more.
