In her quest to reach the fourth round of a major tournament for the first time, Katie Boulter’s hopes were dashed as she encountered a formidable opponent in defending champion Elena Rybakina at Wimbledon 2023.
Being the sole remaining home player in the singles draws, the British number one faced a swift defeat, with Rybakina outclassing her with a commanding score of 6-1, 6-1 in a mere 57 minutes.
Rybakina, hailing from Kazakhstan and seeded third, showcased her prowess on the court, solidifying her position as the favorite to retain her title through a dominant performance. With a strong first serve and breaking Boulter five times, the 24-year-old secured her spot in the fourth round.
Despite recent concerns about her condition due to a previous illness, Rybakina has silenced any doubts and now prepares to face the Brazilian 13th seed, Beatriz Haddad Maia, in a bid to secure a place in the quarter-finals.

Rybakina is a force to be reckoned with! She demolished Boulter in less than an hour. Can she retain her title? Exciting stuff at Wimbledon!
OMG! Boulter’s Wimbledon dreams just went down the drain! Rybakina crushed her, 6-1 6-1. No chance at all for our girl. Disappointing!
Rybakina is unstoppable! Her powerful display on the court shows she’s in top form. Can’t wait to see her face Haddad Maia in the next round!

Tough loss for Boulter, but she’ll bounce back! She’s a talented player, just needs to work on her consistency. Keep fighting, Katie!
