Defending champion Katie Boulter speaking after her win: "Full credit to her that was an absolute battle. She's an incredible grass-court player. I tried to do the best I could because she was playing seriously good stuff."
Players always tell us they want minutes on the court, was that the case today? "I take that back completely. I would have taken a much easier win that's for sure. I'm not sure I've seen a three hour 13 minute grass-court match. I'm not sure that's possible.
"This place is pretty special to me. To be back here it gives me goosebumps. This is where it all started to kickstart my career. I'm just going to try to keep on working hard. Hopefully the victories come too."
