Katie Boulter caused a huge upset on Centre Court at Wimbledon by dumping out No.9 seed Paula Badosa. The British No.2 said: "I think I got one of my first [Centre Court wins] against [Karolina] Pliskova on this court and from the first ball it reminded me of that. I played some really good stuff and I'm happy to be through to the next round.

"I didn't have any nerve. I was bricking it completely. I have played a lot of matches latest where I have started out great and let it slip. I kept pushing myself to be positive and make it happen and today it happened.

"This court is the epitome of every British child dreams about playing on and winning on. It's a dream come true every time I step onto this court. I was super excited when I saw the schedule."
