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.
British number one Katie Boulter suffered a disastrous 58-minute US Open second round defeat against Wimbledon runner-up Karolina Muchova, winning just one game. The match was moved to the Louis Armstrong Stadium after heavy rain, but Boulter's struggle with the conditions, noise and distractions proved too much. She hit eight double faults and no aces, winning only 33% of points behind her first serve.
Muchova dominated with 14 winners and just nine unforced errors. Fellow Britons Jacob Fearnley and Toby Samuel also fell to seeded opponents in the men's draw, while Francesca Jones secured her first Grand Slam win with a strong comeback against Magda Linette. Boulter's coach suggested a major overhaul of her game, particularly her serve, while Jones expressed her relief and appreciation for her first Grand Slam victory.
