LONDON: Katie Boulter won her first WTA title with a dominant victory in Nottingham over Jodie Burrage in the first all-British tour-level final in 46 years. The British women's number one ranking was also on the line as Boulter outplayed her good friend 6-3 6-3.

"I'm definitely going to be sleeping with this trophy tonight," Boulter said in her on-court interview.

Boulter and Burrage were contesting the first all-British WTA final since Sue Barker beat Virginia Wade in San Francisco on 28 February 1977. Both players were also appearing in their first WTA finals. Agencies
