That's the best tennis match of @katieboulter career! High level match but tough loss for Pegula.
Boulter: - 1st top 5 win - 3rd top 10 win (3-8, previous two vs. Pliskova on grass in 2022)
Boulter broke, served for the match and Pegula breaks back with multiple winners. 5-4. "I'm just praying for her to miss everytime she goes for a forehand". Pegula. 2h40.
Incredible. Boutler comes back from 5-7, 0-3* and takes the 2nd set. 5-7, 6-4 vs. Pegula after 2h00. Playing the best tennis of her life.
Pegula won 6 consecutive games till 7-5, *3-0, looked in total control but... we are back on serve.
Great job on the mid-match coach interview by @jcray74…would love to see more innovations like that in 2024 broadcasting. Also that third game of the second set by Pegula was hilariously good. Looking sharp now.
Pegula's coach David Witt says Boulter is playing 'top 10 tennis'.
