Katie Charlotte Boulter (born 1 August 1996) is a British professional tennis player and currently the British No. 1 in women's singles. On 4 November 2024, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 23. On 4 November 2024, she peaked at No. 282 in the WTA doubles rankings.[1] She has won three singles titles on the WTA Tour as well as seven singles titles and four doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit.

Boulter was ranked the No. 10 junior tennis player in the world in March 2014.[2] She is based at the Lawn Tennis Association's National Tennis Centre in Roehampton and was coached by Jeremy Bates, Nigel Sears and Mark Taylor.[3]

Early life

Boulter was born in Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire,[4][5] the second of two children to David and Susan (née Gartshore) and has an older brother, James. Boulter's mother, Susan, played tennis at county level and represented Great Britain a few times as a junior. Boulter's maternal grandmother, Gill Gartshore (née Dran), was also a county champion tennis player.

Boulter herself started playing tennis aged 5,[3] and went on to represent Great Britain three years later, aged 8.[3] She has said that when she was younger, beating her older brother was a motivating factor. "We used to practise together at this local court down the road from our house. It was the only thing I could eventually beat him in, so that felt great."[6]

Boulter played the piano before her tennis career began to take precedence. She also has an interest in fashion and made an appearance in Vogue magazine in 2018.[7]

Career
