- British No 1 Boulter beats Heather Watson 6-4, 7-5 in semi-final
- Burrage books her place with 7-5, 7-5 victory over Alizé Cornet
Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage will contest the first all-British WTA Tour final for 46 years at the Rothesay Open in Nottingham on Sunday.
Britain’s leading female tennis players have responded in style to criticism that none of them were in the main draw at the French Open with the sort of week not seen since the 1970s. In the 50 years of the WTA Tour, the only previous all-British finals saw Sue Barker and Virginia Wade split victories in Paris (1975) and San Francisco (1977).
