British tennis sensation Katie Boulter is making bold moves to reignite her professional career, recruiting legendary coach Michael Joyce to help her climb back into the world's top rankings.

Joyce, a renowned coach with an impressive pedigree including work with Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka, has joined Boulter's team in Auckland, New Zealand, signaling a potentially transformative partnership for the 29-year-old athlete.

The collaboration comes after Boulter's recent professional challenges, including splitting from her previous coach Biljana Veselinovic and struggling to maintain her top-tier status. Currently ranked as British number four and outside the world's top 100, Boulter remains undaunted about her future prospects.

In a candid interview, Boulter expressed unwavering confidence in her abilities. "I've been ranked as high as 23 and I know I can get back there," she declared. "My goal is not to hover around the middle rankings, but to break decisively into the top 20."

Joyce brings substantial credibility to the partnership, having coached multiple Grand Slam champions. His experience includes guiding Sharapova during her most successful years, when she claimed US Open and Australian Open titles and reached world number one status.

Beyond her professional ambitions, Boulter is also looking forward to personal milestones, including her upcoming marriage to Australia's world number seven Alex de Minaur in 2026. With a new coach, renewed determination, and personal happiness on the horizon, she seems poised for a remarkable comeback.

As she prepares for the ASB Classic and Australian Open, Boulter's message is clear: 2024 is a year of transformation, resilience, and unapologetic pursuit of her tennis dreams.
