British number three Katie Boulter extended her winning streak to seven consecutive matches on the WTA Tour after Camila Osorio retired during their second-round match at the Merida Open.
Boulter, who recently triumphed at the Ostrava Open, won the first set 6-3 in Mexico. After calling for the physio, Osorio decided not to continue, handing Boulter the victory.
Boulter’s Response to Osorio’s Injury
Boulter expressed empathy for Osorio, stating, “We really don’t want to see women with injuries.” She added, “It’s been pretty tough recently. I’ve seen a lot of people with them and I’ve been through them myself, so I know how difficult it is.”
Despite the win, Boulter’s thoughts were on her opponent’s well-being, emphasizing the challenge that injuries pose to athletes.
Next Up for Boulter
The world number 69 will now face either Italy’s top seed Jasmine Paolini or Australia’s Priscilla Hon in the quarter-finals on Friday. Boulter will look to continue her strong form and push deeper into the tournament.
