Boulter wins battle of the Brits to claim first WTA title
Katie Boulter won her first WTA Tour title on Sunday, beating Jodie Burrage 6-3 6-3 in the Nottingham Open in the first all-British final at this level for 46 years.
Boulter cemented her position as British number one and will move to a career-high inside the world's top 80.
"I'm definitely going to be sleeping with this trophy tonight," said Boulter, who grew up in nearby Leicester.
"I dreamt of this moment since I was a little girl, training here at four or five years old, coming here as a fan and now having coming here as a player. I dreamt big and it means more than everything to me."
The last all-British final on the WTA Tour was in 1977 when Sue Barker beat Virginia Wade in San Francisco.
"We appreciate it's an all-British final and what an incredible achievement it is," added Boulter.
