Unfortunately, it seems that Katie Boulter's journey at the French Open has come to an end. She was knocked out in the first round, marking the end of British representation at Roland Garros. It was a tough match for the British No.1, as she was defeated by Paula Badosa in a close three-set match.
Despite a strong start, Boulter couldn't maintain her momentum against the former world No.2. Badosa will now move on to the second round, where she will face Yulia Putintseva. It was definitely an entertaining match, and Boulter showed a solid performance, especially considering it was her first time playing at the French Open as the 26th seed.
Sadly, this also means that all six Brits competing in the singles have now been eliminated in just the first three days of the tournament. Earlier this week, Dan Evans was also knocked out in straight sets by 13th seed Holger Rune. It's a tough blow for British tennis fans, as we had high hopes for our players at the French Open.
Boulter's loss to Badosa was just one of many upsets and surprises at this year's French Open. In what could potentially be his final appearance at the tournament before retirement, Andy Murray was also eliminated in straight sets by Stan Wawrinka on Sunday. And other British players, such as Cameron Norrie, Jack Draper, and Harriet Dart, also faced early exits on the clay courts.
But the good news is that Boulter won't be leaving the French Open just yet. She will be back on the court tomorrow for the mixed doubles, where she will be teaming up with her fellow Brit Heather Watson. We'll be eagerly watching and cheering them on as they continue their journey at Roland Garros.
It's been an eventful few days at the French Open, and there's surely more excitement and drama to come. So stay tuned for updates and more coverage on this year's tournament. We can't wait to see what unfolds on the clay courts in the days ahead.
