By distinction Boulter’s greatest run on the inexperienced stuff got here at Queen’s membership, however had disappointing showings at Bad Homburg and Wimbledon with again to again first-round exits.
Krueger received the higher of the Brit of their first two outings, however Bouter received their final match-up in Adelaide 2024, and it stays to be seen is happiness in her life off courtroom ends in a extra motivated and relaxed Boulter as we gear up in direction of the US Open.
