Boulter Crashes Out of US Open

British No 1 Katie Boulter suffered a humiliating 6-1, 6-0 defeat to seventh seed Karolina Muchova in the US Open second round, marking another disappointing grand slam performance. The match, played under retractable roofs due to heavy rain at Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre, saw Boulter completely outclassed by her Czech opponent.

Boulter's defeat continues a difficult period following her marriage to fellow player Alex de Minaur in July. Despite a promising start to the season that included a WTA title in Ostrava and a notable win over world No 2 Elena Rybakina at Queen's, her recent form has stalled, leaving her grand slam ambitions in tatters. newsindata.org
