In the match, Boulter was outplayed by Russia's Diana Shnaider, who secured the victory and moved on to the second round. Shnaider's performance allowed her to continue her run in the WTA 1000 competition.
Boulter's early departure means she will not add any further points to her ranking from Wuhan, while Shnaider gains momentum as the tournament progresses.
