Jack Draper triumphs in Adelaide International opener, while Katie Boulter faces setback

Posted : 08 January 2024

At the Adelaide International, British tennis player Jack Draper showcased his skills with a strong straight-set victory over Sebastian Baez, setting a positive tone for his Australian Open preparations. The 22-year-old, ranked 62nd globally, defeated the 26th-ranked Baez 6-1, 6-3. Draper, who had a breakthrough 2022, is eager to make an impact in Melbourne after a challenging debut at the tournament last year.

 

On the flip side, British number one Katie Boulter faced a setback in the women's event, succumbing to a 6-3, 6-4 defeat against Romania's Anna Bogdan. Despite a determined start, Boulter couldn't maintain her lead, and Bogdan's resilience led to her victory. Boulter, ranked 57th globally, now shifts her focus to the Australian Open as she seeks a strong performance in Melbourne.
