The victory made Boulter the British number one and ended Burrage's bid to capture the top spot.

This was the first all-British WTA final since 1977 and was played in front of a home crowd for Boulter, who grew up in Leicester.

The tournament was a success for British tennis, with Andy Murray winning the men's event and several British players reaching the semifinals and finals of the women's and doubles events.

The victory comes just a few weeks after criticism of the state of tennis in the country, and the success is expected to give the players confidence going into the next grass-court tournaments before Wimbledon.
