Gutsy Boulter gives GB 2-1 lead over France

Katie Boulter put in one of her best clay-court performances to beat Clara Burel and give Great Britain a 2-1 lead over France in their Billie Jean King Cup qualifying tie.

Boulter suffered a heavy defeat in her singles match on Friday but showed real grit to beat Burel 7-5 6-0.

The Briton had been a break down in the first set but reeled off nine games in a row to seal victory.

Emma Raducanu can wrap up the tie for GB if she beats Diane Parry.

The winner of the best-of-five tie advances to November's 12-team finals.

This was an excellent turnaround from Boulter, returning to her natural aggressive game after her chastening lost to Parry on the first day.

"I kind of lost my identity yesterday. I was trying to play like the stereotypical clay-court player," Boulter said.

"I still feel like we're the underdogs, but it was crucial to get the point and I'm glad that I did."
