“Overcoming early setbacks, Boulter showed resilience and mental strength on the court”
Katie Boulter won the Ostrava Open in the Czech Republic, claiming the fourth WTA singles title of her career. She defeated Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch in a thrilling final, coming from a set down to win 5‑7, 6‑2, 6‑1.
After losing the first set, Boulter bounced back strongly, winning 12 of the final 15 games to seal victory in just under two hours. Her aggressive baseline play and consistent serving helped her dominate the second and third sets. This is her fourth career WTA title and her first since previous wins at Nottingham and San Diego.
Her week in Ostrava was impressive, including wins over Katie Volynets, Linda Fruhvirtova, and fifth seed Viktorija Golubic on her way to the final. The victory also moves Boulter back into the top 100 of the WTA rankings, around No. 84, giving her a strong start to the new season.
Boulter described the win as an important confidence boost after a challenging 2025 and an early exit at the Australian Open. She hopes this victory will help her carry momentum into the bigger tournaments ahead.
