British number one Katie Boulter's Grand Slam season concluded with a 6-1, 6-0 defeat to seventh seed Karolina Muchova in the second round of the US Open. The match, initially scheduled for Court 17, was moved to Louis Armstrong Stadium due to heavy rain, where Boulter was reportedly outclassed.
Boulter expressed difficulty adjusting to the new environment, particularly the ambient noise from the crowd. She stated, "I struggled with the conditions. I struggled with the roof, I struggled with the noise. I kind of let these little things distract me a little bit."
In contrast, British qualifier Francesca Jones achieved a significant victory, beating former top 20 player Magda Linette 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. This win marks Jones's first time reaching the second round of the US Open, following a challenging year with injuries and a concussion.
Other British players also saw their US Open campaigns end, with Jan Choinski falling to Botic van de Zandschulp and lucky loser Jacob Fearnley defeated by Tomas Etcheverry.
