Boulter came close to a big Center Court surprise last year after taking the first set against second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka.
But world number four from Belarus came back to beat Boulter 4-6 6-3 6-3.
Boulter acted to carry the flag for the home challenge when she saved Britain’s female contingent from a day-one extermination.
The then 24-year-old defeated the American qualifier, Danielle Lao, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 to set up a second-round appointment with the big beating-Belo-Russian Arnya Sabalenka, the number 2-selected.
“Because it’s been absent for a few years, it really means so much,” Boulter said. ‘In the end, it was not pretty out there, I knew it was not going to be. But I fought so hard, found a way. I feel that’s what tennis is really about. ‘

It was her first appearance at the All England Club for three years and, given the circumstances, it really was a tremendous performance.
After Boulter suffered a back injury that kept her out of Wimbledon in 2019, Boulter then picked up a right elbow problem just as she was doing well in Nottingham earlier this month.
That elbow was thoroughly connected during the match and then heavily geysed.
“Right now it feels great,” she said of the injury. ‘I’m finally running it this tournament. It did not stop me at all. ‘
Boulter arrived at Court 17 late and her match took a while to show up as well, as she fell 5-2 behind.

She had some fights with referee Mohamed Lahyani, which could have been the shock she needed to get back on equal footing and enforce a draw.
Lao – a tough, scrambling opponent – scored the breaker 8-6, but there were growing signs that Boulter was finding her distance.
By the end, she comfortably looked the better player, with her knocking down and easy power dominating. Boulter was applauded by her mother and grandfather, as well as her boyfriend Alex de Minaur, the Australian world number 15.
“It feels quite special to be back home, in front of a British crowd,” Boulter said. “It really makes a difference.”

Boulter used her time during last year’s British collapse to complete work with Age UK, a charity for the elderly, where ‘there was one elderly lady I called every week so I could see if she was okay and see if she have to do something ‘.
