Despite the defeat, a place in the world’s top 50 is on the cards for the first time in Boulter’s career.
Holding serve was becoming an arduous task and Stearns duly struck again to pinch the opener.
A solitary break in the second was enough to send Boulter packing as 21-year-old Stearns ran out a 6-4 6-3 winner. Boulter can be proud of her efforts in New York, however, with a place in the world’s top 50 on the cards for the first time in her career. She said: “I wouldn’t say it was my best tennis. I think it was very competitive. I felt like I could have done a lot of things better but ultimately I gave everything I had on the day and unfortunately that is tennis.
“I have to learn from it and I have to get those things better. But credit to her, her forehand is one of the best on the women’s side.”
