Boulter outplays Ostapenko to reach Eastbourne quarters

Katie Boulter's impressive form on grass continued in the lead up to Wimbledon as she defeated Jelena Ostapenko to reach the quarter-finals at Eastbourne.

The British number one claimed a confident 6-4 7-5 win against former French Open champion Ostapenko.

Boulter is attempting to win a second grass-court title this month after triumphing in Nottingham.

"It's definitely taken a lot of the pressure off me," Boulter said.

"I wasn't sure what to expect coming into this grass-court season, I'm out here having fun and enjoying myself."

Boulter will be seeded for the first time at Wimbledon this year, meaning she can't face a player ranked in the top 32 until the third round.
