Katie Boulter won her first WTA title after beating fellow Briton Jodie Burrage in the final of the Nottingham Open.

In the first all-British tour-level final in 46 years, Boulter outplayed her good friend to win 6-3, 6-3.

Boulter, who is from Leicester and considers Nottingham her home tournament, said: “I dreamed of this moment, to win this tournament, as a little girl when I was four years old.

“Having come here as a fan and now as a player and somehow find a way to win it means more than everything to me.

"I’ve played so many British players, we appreciate an all-British final and what an incredible achievement it is.”

Earlier on Sunday, Andy Murray won the men’s title at the Nottingham Open to maintain his good Wimbledon build-up.

A week after victory in the Surbiton Trophy, Murray made it back-to-back wins on grass with a 6-4, 6-4 win over France’s Arthur Cazaux.
