After another tournament that has seen her break more new ground and solidify her status as a top 30 player, Katie Boulter’s excellent week in Florida ended with a lesson as she was defeated 7-5, 6-1 in the fourth round of the Miami Open by a tough, resourceful Victoria Azarenka.
In unpleasant conditions, with the wind swirling and irritating both players, Azarenka demonstrated her greater adaptability and experience by maintaining a consistent level through her difficulties and until the end.
