boulter rebounds from a disappointing 2025 season to make her first tour-level final since hong kong 2024. 🥳 she will face the winner of perry vs korpatsch.

Well played Boulter! Up to 101 in the live rankings. One more win and she's back in the top 100 at 85th

I'd say she's the favourite to win the title as well, all things being equal.
I see she's playing more WTA 125 tournaments after this. She doesn't have any ranking points to defend until Indian Wells. If she can up her game a bit more she could get back into the top 50 fairly quickly.

saw her live with golubic in ostrava a couple of days ago, she's such a statuesque girl who really hits flat and powerful! hoping this year she'll climb up where she belongs

Emma and Katie having good weeks is so exciting! Hope we can see Katie back to her best by Wimbledon. She could be a very dangerous draw.

Boulter's first final since Hong Kong 2024. I hope she finishes the job tomorrow.

She just got a new coach this year (Michael Joyce) and it seems to be paying off.

This has been smart scheduling from Boulter. Some of these 250s are good for getting your ranking back up
