Katie Boulter lost nine games in a row on her way to a first-round exit at the Cincinnati Open, the British No 1 collapsing to a 2-6 6-0 7-5 defeat to Poland's Magda Linette. Boulter started the match superbly, immediately breaking Linette's serve twice to race into a 4-0 lead on her way to taking the opening set. But, suddenly, from a position of such dominance, Boulter would win only eight points the entire second set as Linette bageled the Brit inside 25 minutes to level the match.
The American then opened her first appearance in the main draw in Cincinnati by knocking off Vekic, the 16th seed from Croatia who lost to Zheng Qinwen in the women's gold-medal match in Paris . Top seed Iga Swiatek headlines the women's action on Wednesday as she takes on France's Varvara Gracheva.
