PublishedKatie Boulter retained the Nottingham Open title after coming from a set down to beat Karolina Pliskova - just hours after doing the same to topple fellow Briton Emma Raducanu.
The British number one laid down an early marker, breaking Pliskova's serve in the opening game, but the first set turned when Boulter led 4-3.With the Nottingham crowd backing her, Boulter fought back spiritedly in the second set as she found another early break in game three before picking apart the Pliskova serve again to force a decider.
It was a mere blip in an assertive final set for the Briton, though, with Boulter hitting back in the next game to finish the job. The former world number one would have been pleased to get a longer spell off court as Boulter and Raducanu completed their match but, ultimately, it did not matter."It was a tough week, a long week with some difficult matches, and I had to play two high-quality matches in one day.Willis and Peers take men's doubles crownThere was also British success in the men's doubles at the Nottingham Open with Marcus Willis teaming up with Australian John Peers.
