📌 Main takeaway:
Poulter split from Biljana Veselinovic late last year after a three-year partnership during which she won three WTA titles.
The 29-year-old is currently ranked fourth in Britain after falling out of the world’s top 100 players.
Poulter has won just three tour-level matches since Wimbledon and tore her abductor in her final event last year in Hong Kong.
As a result, she just missed out on a main draw spot at the Australian Open. She is currently the third alternative, and without enough withdrawals, she will need to win through qualifying at Melbourne Park.
But there is still a lot that Poulter wants to achieve, as she explained in an interview with BBC Sport in November.
“As far as moving forward with a new coach, the one thing I’m very clear about is that they will be someone who has a lot of experience in how to get to the highest level in this game,” she said.
“I’m ranked 23rd and I know I can get back there. I don’t think my form has gone anywhere, I think the consistency needs to improve.
“My goal is not to be ranked 50, 40, 30, 20 – we’ve been there. The goal is to be inside 20.”
Boulter welcomed 2026 on Instagram, describing it as “the best year of her life” and is set to marry Australian world number seven Alex de Minaur.
She made it clear that she would not be sad about the year that had just passed.
“Goodbye 2025. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out,” she wrote.
