Katie Boulter says she is feeling the love in New York after securing a first-career win at the US Open.<\/p>\n
The British number one certainly looked at home on a packed Court Six at Flushing Meadows as she raced past France\u2019s Diane Parry 6-4 6-0.<\/p>\n
Boulter hit 31 winners and illustrated her confidence on the big stage by saving a break point as she served for the match, before finishing Parry off with a 106mph ace.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt the love out there today, which was really, really nice,\u201d said the 27-year-old.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was such a good atmosphere. What I love about it the most is those front courts where they have all the matches going along all the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a challenge for me to focus and stay in the moment, and not hear all the other courts going on, which is what I did unbelievably well today.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fans got me over the line. I don\u2019t know if they were British, American. I think they were everything, which was super nice.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were a lot of GB flags, which made me feel very at home, which was very nice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did appreciate it out there. You know, it\u2019s when you hear, like, little kids screaming your name, that\u2019s when it pushes you. It makes you think for a second, \u2018hey, this is where I want to be and these are the matches that I want to play\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
