However, Boulter refused to let the match slip away, mounting a stunning comeback to level the score at 3-3. With both players trading blows, Boulter's tenacity paid off as she claimed a hard-fought opening set after a series of intense rallies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Buoyed by her first-set victory, Boulter carried her momentum into the second set, storming to a commanding 4-0 lead with a display of blistering serves and precise shot-making. Yet, just when victory seemed within grasp, Vekic fought back, breaking Boulter's serve and narrowing the gap to 5-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It is the first time in her career that Boulter has beaten multiple players ranked inside the top 50 in a tournament following her earlier victories over Lesia Tsurenko and Beatriz Haddad Maia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the pressure mounting, Boulter faced a crucial moment as she served for the match. Despite faltering momentarily, she summoned her resolve and unleashed a barrage of powerful shots, forcing Vekic into a grueling 24-shot rally. In a breathtaking display of skill and determination, Boulter emerged victorious, clinching the match and securing her spot in the semi-finals with a well-deserved win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
