KATIE BOULTER went from entertaining the Princess of Wales to earning herself an audience with the Queen of Wimbledon.
Two days after Her Royal Highness dropped in on her opening match, Boulter removed Viktoriya Tomova in three sets to book a third-round clash with reigning champion Elena Rybakina.
Boulter then warned she would not be turning up simply to make up the numbers.
"It's a huge moment for me and I'm not done yet," said the British No.1, through to round three for the second year running.
"I've got nothing to lose and I'm looking forward to it."
What a difference a day made, as Boulter knocked the door down with her power and ambition for fellow Brit Liam Broady to follow her through shortly after.
