McCartney Kessler Form

McCartney Kessler booked her place in the Nottingham quarterfinals with a statement win over top seed and former top-20 player Beatriz Haddad Maia in a tight three-set battle, followed by a more routine victory over world No. 309 Zhu Lin in the second round.

The result marked a welcome rebound after a narrow second-round loss to world No. 5 Qinwen Zheng in London last week, where she pushed the top seed in a 6–3, 4–6, 7–5 defeat.

Kessler holds a flawless 3–0 record in tour-level quarterfinals, including two appearances this season. Remarkably, she has turned all three of those into finals, in Cleveland 2024, and Hobart and Austin 2025.

Prior to this season, the American had never won a main draw match on grass. She has now contested 11 career matches on the surface, with seven of them extending to three sets.

Katie Boulter Form

Katie Boulter’s title defense in Nottingham remains alive after a gritty 6–4, 1–6, 7–5 victory over fellow Brit Sonay Kartal, securing her place in the quarterfinals.

It was her seventh three-set match in her last nine outings, raising concerns around her freshness and growing fatigue levels with each passing round.

Injuries have plagued Boulter throughout the season, and she had not recorded back-to-back tour-level wins prior to this week.

Now into her 10th career quarterfinal at tour level, she holds an even 5–5 record overall, with six of those appearances coming on grass—four of them in Nottingham.

Her grass-court quarterfinal record stands at 2–4, with both wins coming at this very tournament, each serving as a stepping stone to titles in 2023 and 2024.

Verdict

McCartney Kessler v Katie Boulter

Kessler enters with a perfect 3–0 quarterfinal record and no fitness concerns, while Boulter brings proven success in Nottingham and home advantage. Despite Kessler's edge on paper, Boulter offers good value at above even odds in a tight matchup.
