Despite being defeated by Australia in the United Cup 2025, the Great Britain team managed to secure the sets needed to progress in the competition. Katie Boulter has been one of the key players in the team, who revealed in a press conference how she felt on the court, her tennis level, and her readiness to face Iga Swiatek in the upcoming challenge at the Australian event.

"I am very happy to have been able to showcase my best tennis. Even though I didn't feel very well on the court, I felt better in my first match. You can never underestimate her; she is a very good player. I know what she is capable of and also how good she is going to be. She has a powerful ball strike. She can come back into the point at any time. For me, it was simply about staying ahead, conserving my energy, and doing everything possible to shut her down. I did it, so I am very pleased with my level today," said the British player in the press conference.

With nothing to lose

"Obviously, training is very different from matches. I know the champion she is. I know she will bring all her intensity to every ball, and I will not get away with it, so I will have to play my best tennis, if not better than that. I am looking forward to the battle. I have nothing to lose; there is no pressure on us. I don't see us as favorites. We have nothing to lose, and we just need to go out to play and enjoy the moment."
