“I’m a set and a break up, I should be closing that match out and ultimately I thought there was some really good stuff, I just let it get away from me as sometimes you do.” As Boulter finds her feet on the surface, she has also realised that there is a lot to learn about the different conditions on clay.
The world No. 28 played on indoor clay for the BJK Cup and the Madrid Open is played at altitude, while the upcoming Rome Masters and French Open are more traditional clay courts. “I mean that is something that I think I probably didn’t realise as much about clay court season as I’m starting to learn,” she explained.
“Every week is very different, I think you kind of know what’s going to suit you a little bit more than not, but you’ve to get through it and you’ve got to learn how to win those matches. And for me this is one to learn from and to keep going and to keep being positive for the rest of the season. I think there’s a lot of tennis to be played, it’s very early on, and a lot of matches.”
