Katie Boulter is a promising young British tennis player competing in this year’s Wimbledon.
She is currently ranked number 118 in the world for women’s singles, and number three in Britain.
This summer, all eyes were on British number 1 Emma Raducanu, but after a second round defeat to the French Caroline Garcia, our hopes for a female British Wimbledon champion now lie with Katie Boulter.
After a phenomenal second round win against last year’s runner-up, Karolína Plíšková, tennis fans across the country are wondering how far this 25-year-old can take us.
As of 2022, Katie Boulter has an estimated net worth of $2.5 million (over £2 million), according to Idol Net Worth.

Many of her earnings have come from her tennis wins: on the ITF Women’s Circuit Boulter has won six singles titles as well as four doubles.
The International Tennis Federation aims to enable more professional players to earn a living, thereby supporting junior players to achieve their potential.
Boulter’s career high came in 2019 when she reached a singles ranking of 82, and she has shown great promise throughout her since her professional debut.

In fact, in 2014 she was ranked tenth best player in the world by ITF Junior Tennis.
So far, she has performed best when playing on hard courts (the type they have in the US Open and Australian Grand Slam), but after her remarkable second round performance, it seems as though the grass court is suiting her just fine.
During the post-match interview, she described the crowd on center-court as ‘unbelievable’ and thanked them for getting her through.
She then went on to tearfully dedicate her performance to her gran, who passed away just two days prior to the match.
This is the first time that Katie Boulter has made it through to the third round of a Grand Slam.

If she miraculously makes it all the way to the final of Wimbledon, she will win a record £2,000,000 in prize money.
