Katie Boulter's French Open campaign came to an end on Thursday evening as she fell to Anastasia Potapova in the second round, extinguishing British hopes in the singles draws at Roland Garros.
Match Summary
The British number one started strongly, claiming the first set 7-5. However, Potapova responded by taking the second set 6-4 to force a decider. The Russian dominated the final set, winning it 6-2 to secure her place in the round of 32.
End of British Singles Presence
Boulter's defeat means no British player remains in either the men's or women's singles draws. This marks a disappointing outcome for British tennis fans, who had hoped for a deeper run from their top players.
The 27-year-old Boulter had entered the tournament with confidence after a strong season, but Potapova's power proved too much in the latter stages. Potapova will now face a seeded opponent in the third round.
Despite the early exit, Boulter's performance in the first set showed her resilience, but she was unable to maintain that level against her formidable opponent.
