Katie Boulter ready to bring battle spirit after Badosa Wimbledon win
'I'm looking at getting my body ready, enjoying the good moments, moving on and getting myself ready for a second round.
'I'm not necessarily going to look into the future. I think you can easily get caught up just after a good win.'
Boulter knows the potential pitfalls too well, as she crashed out in the second round last year
following an error-strewn performance against compatriot Harriet Dart.
Her performance against Badosa looked briefly to be heading the same way, as three double faults in one game gift wrapped the second set for the Spaniard.
But Boulter showed plenty of grit to rally in front the Centre Court crowd to earn the fourth victory over a top 10 player in her career.
'Centre Court at Wimbledon, as a Brit, against a top-10 player, for me doesn't get that much better,' she added.
'I feel like I've come into this slam the best possibly I could have been prepared. It's nice to see it actually pay off, because it could have easily switched that way.
'It is one of the reasons why I do play tennis, to win matches like that, and to have a go at the best in the world. I do feel like it is one of the best ones for sure in my career.
'I just decided to go for it in the big moment, and it came out the right way, so I'm happy. I took it to her. Actually I felt like I won the match rather than I relied on someone else's mistakes or something else.
'I feel like I went out, I committed to my game, I laid it on the line, I put my heart on the line, and I just went for it.'
Boulter will hope her new more aggressive style can carry her into the unchartered waters of the second week at her home Slam.
Victory over Sierra on Wednesday will set up a third round tie with either Cristina Bucsa or last year's semi-finalist Dona Vekic, with Australian Open Madison Keys potentially waiting further down the line.
Claiming the scalp of a top seed gives Boulter a real shot of a deep run but she knows there is still lots of work to be done, even if she is ready to seize her chance.
'I'm going back to my process. I take every day at a time,' she added.
'I feel like I've been building for a while now, but I just haven't quite made it over the line. This is the first step of that. I'm very well aware there's a lot more steps to take before I can call it the best week of my career.'

Emma Raducanu looks to the past as she aims to beat Marketa Vondrousova again
It will be deja vu for Raducanu, whose second-round win over Vondrousova at the All England Club in 2021 first made the wider tennis world sit up and take notice. A few months later Raducanu's life changed forever with her US Open triumph, while Vondrousova also knows a thing or two about shock grand slam successes having become the first unseeded women's champion at Wimbledon two years ago. Game, set and match – Emma Raducanu! Raducanu 6-2 6-4 Vondrousova. What a moment for the 18-year-old, she wins in straight sets and is into the third round! The biggest win of her career by a mile. 📺💻 Watch #Wimbledon live on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport app. — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 1, 2021 The talented Czech, whose love of slice and drop shots makes her particularly dangerous on grass, could not be in better form, meanwhile, having beaten world number one Aryna Sabalenka – who is likely to be awaiting the winner in round three – and Australian Open champion Madison Keys on her way to the title in Berlin last month. 'She beat really top players,' said Raducanu. 'It's a really difficult match. Obviously has won Wimbledon, amazing grass-court player in general. I think I'm going to need to play very well to get over the line.' Vondrousova has won their last two meetings, in the Billie Jean King Cup on clay in 2022 and earlier this season in Abu Dhabi, but Raducanu can look back with fondness on their only previous Wimbledon clash, which she won 6-2 6-4. 'I remember I played really good tennis,' said Raducanu. 'I remember I played one of the best matches I've played. I was so aggressive, took the ball on. 'Obviously since then she's won the Wimbledon title and had a lot more success on grass. I remember that was a big change, a big turning point for me.' Vondrousova can empathise with Raducanu's struggles over the past few years having made the French Open final as a teenager back in 2019. She has also struggled with injury having twice had surgery on her wrist and then last year on her shoulder after losing in the first round in SW19 as defending champion. Vondrousova said of the focus on Raducanu: 'She had it way worse because she is from a bigger country. She had crazy pressure. I feel like she has it in every tournament all the time. 'I feel like now she's getting better and better. I feel like now she kind of found her way maybe into tennis and the matches again. I feel like she's coming back where she belongs. 'She's a great player. She has both a strong forehand, backhand. I expect a tough one on Wednesday. We'll see. I'm just very happy to be back and have these kind of matches.' There remains a great deal of attention on Raducanu's coaching situation, but the 22-year-old could not be happier with how things are working out with current mentor Mark Petchey. The former British number one first stepped in to help out in Miami in March and has balanced the role with his TV commitments. 'I'd give him 11 out of 10,' said Raducanu after beating British teenager Mimi Xu in the first round. 'He's been everything the last few months for me. I've really enjoyed being around him. He's helped me so much on all fronts – tennis, off court. 'There was one hike we did in LA. We walked for two-and-a-half hours. We spoke. It was one of those really deep conversations where I was like, 'OK, certain things I need to do better'.' Raducanu was among a record-breaking seven British winners on day one, and all will try to go further on Wednesday. Qualifier Oliver Tarvet has the most eye-catching draw against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz while Cameron Norrie will play 12th seed Frances Tiafoe. Katie Boulter, Sonay Kartal, Arthur Fery and Billy Harris all face unseeded opponents.

Arsenal sign goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea
The 30-year-old Spaniard spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, making 35 appearances in all competitions. Arsenal had brought in Neto from the Cherries as back-up to David Raya, but the Brazilian has returned to the Cherries following the end of his own season-long loan. Here to raise the levels. Kepa Arrizabalaga is a Gunner. — Arsenal (@Arsenal) July 1, 2025 Kepa, who spent the 2023/24 campaign at Real Madrid, has signed a three-year deal, the PA news agency understands. The fee is reported to be around £5million, with the transfer subject to the completion of regulatory processes. 'I'm really, really happy to be here, really excited and looking forward to what is coming,' Kepa told Arsenal's website. 'The ambition that is shown in this club, when I talk with Mikel (Arteta) and (goalkeeping coach) Inaki (Cana), how much they show me their desire to win, I think we are so close to winning and, hopefully, altogether, we can achieve it.' Kepa became the world's most expensive goalkeeper when he joined Chelsea from Athletic Bilbao in a £71m deal during the summer of 2018, going on to win the Europa League and Champions League with the Blues as well as the 2023 UEFA Nations League with Spain. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is confident Kepa will provide plenty of competition for his compatriot Raya. 'He is a player we know, having come up against him many times in recent seasons,' Arteta said. 'He brings a wealth of experience, which his team-mates will benefit from, and he has a real hunger to win. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has departed Chelsea and joined Arsenal. We thank Kepa for his efforts during his time at Stamford Bridge and wish him well in the future. — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 1, 2025 'Kepa works hard and will elevate our levels. I know he will fit in perfectly, already knowing some of his team-mates, and we are really excited about his future with us.' Chelsea posted on X: 'We thank Kepa for his efforts during his time at Stamford Bridge and wish him well in the future.' Arsenal also appear to be closing in on deals for Brentford midfielder Christian Norgaard and Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi. The Gunners are in need of midfield reinforcements, with Thomas Partey having become a free agent after his contract expired and Jorginho also leaving the club earlier this month to join Brazilian club Flamengo.

Jannik Sinner makes light work of fellow Italian Luca Nardi in Wimbledon opener
The 23-year-old dropped only seven games in a comprehensive 6-4 6-3 6-0 victory in an hour and 48 minutes. Sinner slammed down nine aces among 28 winners and lost only 12 points behind his own serve. Sinner soars ahead 🚀 He manoeuvres past Nardi 6-4 6-3 6-0 🔥@wimbledon | #Wimbledon — ATP Tour (@atptour) July 1, 2025 The three-time grand slam winner has only reached the semi-finals here once, in 2023, but all roads seem to be leading to a showdown with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz a week on Sunday in a repeat of their epic five-set French Open final, won by the Spaniard, last month. While Alcaraz toiled to a five-set, four-and-a-half hour win over 38-year-old Fabio Fognini on Monday, Sinner was not hanging around as he raced into round two, where he will meet Australian Aleksandar Vukic. 'New tournament, new chances, new challenges,' he said. 'You have one opponent at a time so obviously I try to keep going and enjoy playing here. 'If you don't enjoy to play on these courts, I don't know where you will enjoy. I'm very happy to be here and let's see what's coming.' Another Italian, seventh seed Lorenzo Musetti, was knocked out by Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia. A 6-2 4-6 7-5 6-1 defeat was not a major surprise, however, as Musetti has been recovering from a thigh injury since Roland Garros and was forced to withdraw from Queen's last month.
