Boulter and Burrage set to contest all-British WTA final in Nottingham

A superb week for the home players on the grass courts in Nottingham saw three Britons reach the final four.

Boulter, the new British number one, advanced to her first WTA Tour-level final by defeating compatriot Heather Watson 6-4, 7-5.

"I've got all the feelings right now," said Boulter. "I feel like I've really worked for this. It's not something that I've just been given and I feel proud of myself for that because I've worked above and beyond for these moments.

"I haven't had many of them and that's why it makes this one extra special. Hopefully I'm not done yet and I've got one more to go. I'm hungry for more, which is pretty exciting for me."

Boulter can potentially set a new career-high ranking within the top 80 if she goes all the way in the final but will have to be wary of her opponent in Burrage, who is also enjoying a solid run.

The 24-year-old booked her place in the final with a gritty 7-5, 7-5 win over French veteran Alize Cornet and will also be eyeing silverware, as well as Boulter's number one mantle.

"I wasn't expecting this coming into this week," said Burrage. "But I'm very, very happy with my performance today. It's going to be an amazing day tomorrow. What an amazing tournament for both of us."
