But Boulter now has the backing of a member of the Royal Family, with the Princess of Wales spotted in the crowd.
The 41-year-old was seen slipping into the stands alongside former tennis players Debbie Jevans and Laura Robson to watch the occasion on the second day of this summer's Wimbledon.
The Princess of Wales had got a feel for the action herself last month, starring in a promotional video about the impressive preparations the ball kids go through.
Now Middleton will be hoping she can be Boulter's good luck charm to see her through to the next round and beat her Aussie rival.

Rain soon began to fall on Court 18, with the Princess having to shelter under a purple and green Wimbledon umbrella.
But soon enough, play was suspended an hour into the action due to rain falling at Wimbledon, with the Princess having to shelter under a Wimbledon umbrella before the match was paused.
However when the tie does resume, it looks set to be a tough contest between the two stars that will provide plenty of entertainment for Middleton.
