Brit Katie Boulter seals biggest win of career over Karolina Pliskova at Wimbledon

Britain's Katie Boulter dedicated the biggest win of her career to her late Grandma after she overcame sixth seed Karolina Pliskova at Wimbledon.

Despite losing the first set 6-3, Boulter, 25, took a second-set tie-break to level matters. She was more of the aggressor in the decider, and at 4-4, got the decisive break before holding her nerve to seal victory and send the Centre Court crowd into raptures.

The upset win means she will play in the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time. And in her post-match interview, an emotional Boulter said: "I've got absolutely no words right now I'm literally shaking. The crowd was unbelievable so thank you so much for getting me through that.
