Boulter was ranked the No. 10 junior tennis player in the world in March 2014. [2] She is based at the Lawn Tennis Association's National Tennis Centre in Roehampton and was coached by Jeremy Bates, Nigel Sears and Mark Taylor. [3]
Boulter was born in Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire, [4] [5] the second of two children to David and Susan (née Gartshore) and has an older brother, James. Boulter's mother, Susan, played tennis at county level and represented Great Britain a few times as a junior. Boulter's maternal grandmother, Gill Gartshore (née Dran), was also a county champion tennis player.
Boulter herself started playing tennis aged 5, [3] and went on to represent Great Britain three years later, aged 8. [3] She has said that when she was younger, beating her older brother was a motivating factor. "We used to practise together at this local court down the road from our house. It was the only thing I could eventually beat him in, so that felt great." [6]
Boulter played the piano before her tennis career began to take precedence. She also has an interest in fashion and made an appearance in Vogue magazine in 2018. [7]
Following in the path of Anna Kournikova, Boulter showed promise in 2008 when she won the Lemon Bowl in Rome, aged 11.
