Defending champion Katie Boulter guaranteed there will be a British finalist at the Rothesay Open in Nottingham again after defeating Magdalena Frech in a rain-hit contest. The British number one, who won her first WTA Tour title in her home event 12 months ago, defeated her Polish opponent 6-2 6-4 to reach the semi-finals.

Katie Boulter needed just an hour and 19 minutes to beat Magdalena Frech in a rain-delayed match and move into the semi-finals of the Rothesay Open.

Rain on the fourth day at WTA Nottingham meant two Round of 16 matches were not completed. Ashlyn Kruger’s battle with Fran Jones and Ons Jabeur’s match against Linda Fruhvirtova are the remaining contests to be finished.

Katie Boulter continues the defence of her Nottingham Open crown as she takes on Rebecca Marino in the second round. The third seed survived a nervy deciding set against compatriot Harriet Dart to win an at-times ill-tempered opening match of her grass court season.
