Boulter bags fourth WTA title with Ostrava win

Katie Boulter claimed her fourth WTA Tour title with a three-set win over Tamara Korpatsch at the Ostrava Open.

The British number four who had slipped to 120th in the world rankings, came back strongly from a set down in the final to beat Korpatsch 5-7 6-2 6-1 will return to the top 100 at number 84.

The 29-year-old Brit split from her long-time coach Biljana Veselinovic last year and appointed Michael Joyce, who worked with Maria Sharapova, at the start of 2026.

She dedicated the win to her new coach saying: “We’re only a few weeks into business right now Mickey but we’ve got one in the bag.”

Boulter then joked: “And it was on your birthday week. Massive week for you, 53 years old, big one, so that was your present..

“I hope we can keep doing a lot of work.”

To my stable team, my whole family back home… Everyone close to me knows how hard this last year has been for me,” Boulter added.

“Today makes it all worth it.”

Boulter has lost only one of the five WTA finals she has reached and her win in Ostrava will add to her two Nottingham titles (2023 and 2024) and her triumph in San Diego two years ago.
