Katie Boulter failed to build on a promising start, suffering a 3-6 6-2 6-2 defeat to American Ashlyn Krueger in the first round of the Mubadala DC Open. The Brit dominated the opening set, breaking twice to claim it 6-3.

Krueger turned the match around after 16 first-set unforced errors, breaking Boulter twice in the second set. In the decider, Krueger broke three times over five games to seal victory and set up a second-round clash with four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka.

In Mexico, Cameron Norrie ended his six-match losing streak on the ATP Tour with a 6-4 6-1 win over world No 95 Aleksandar Kovacevic at the Mifel Tennis Open. Norrie recovered from an early break, traded breaks in a tight first set, then dominated the second to advance.

The Mubadala DC Open continues with Alex De Minaur vs Stefanos Tsitsipas and Venus Williams vs Anastasia Potapova live on Sky Sports Tennis.
