She played four more tournaments that year and reached the quarterfinals of two of them (both on [[clay court|clay]]). The season ended with Borwell ranked world No. 744.<ref name=wta>{{cite web |url=http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/2/players/playerprofiles/PlayerActivity.asp |title=Singles Results – Sarah Borwell |publisher=sonyericssonwtatour.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090212143901/http://sonyericssonwtatour.com/2/players/playerprofiles/PlayerActivity.asp |archive-date=12 February 2009}}</ref>

===2003===
She began 2003 with another quarter-final loss in January and two months later made her first appearance in an ITF tournament final, losing in straight sets to Australian Lisa McShea, 6–1, 6–4. She notched up one more semifinal loss and another quarterfinal loss in ITF events before making her debut on the [[Women's Tennis Association|WTA Tour]] at the Tier III [[DFS Classic|Birmingham Classic]]. She experienced a defeat in the first round of qualifying at the hands of a young future world No. 1, [[Maria Sharapova]]. Borwell was then granted a wildcard into the qualifying event of her home [[Grand Slam (tennis)|Grand Slam tournament]], [[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]], where she was defeated in straight sets by Argentine [[Gisela Dulko]] in the first round. She spent the rest of the year on the ITF Circuit, reaching two more semifinals (one as a qualifier), and finished 2003 ranked 349.<ref name=wta />

===2004===
2004 was a year of first and second round defeats for Borwell. She played the entire year on the ITF Circuit, reaching only one quarterfinal and one semifinal (albeit as a qualifier) and as such her year-end ranking fell 68 places to No. 417.<ref name=wta />

===2005===
She made a more promising start to 2005, reaching the quarterfinals in her second ITF tournament of the season and the semifinals in her third. She again played on the ITF Circuit until June when she was again given a wildcard into the Tier III Birmingham Classic qualifying rounds. She managed to go one better than her previous year's appearance at the tournament by beating 16th seed [[Sunitha Rao]] in three tight sets, before losing to eighth seed [[Rika Fujiwara]] from Japan. Another wildcard followed, but this time into the main draw of Wimbledon where her opponent in round one was American, [[Shenay Perry]]. Despite a valiant performance in a first set tie-break (which she eventually lost 11–13) she lost the match in two sets. The rest of her year was spent playing ITF tournaments where she reached one quarterfinal. She did, however, beat two women ranked higher than herself to qualify for the Tier III [[Bell Challenge]] held in Quebec City, Canada in November. She lost in the first round to [[Emma Laine]] of Finland. 2005 ended with Borwell ranked 331.<ref name=wta />

===2006===
In February 2006, Borwell attempted to qualify for the Bangalore Open, a Tier III tournament held in India. She lost to [[Akgul Amanmuradova]], 2–6, 1–6. March saw success for Borwell as she reached the semifinals of ITF Sunderland before losing to [[Gaëlle Widmer]], 1–6, 3–6. This was immediately followed by her first ever title in Sheffield where she did not drop a single set en route to the final in which she defeated [[Nadja Roma]] in three sets. Two consecutive first-round losses followed before a quarterfinal loss to [[Anne Keothavong]] in the ITF tournament held in Madras. May saw another ITF final appearance for Borwell in Nagano where she was forced to retire after losing a close first set 7–5 to Tomoko Yonemura. In June, Borwell had her first victory in the main draw of a WTA Tour event after being given a wildcard into the Birmingham Classic and defeating fellow Briton [[Melanie South]] in three sets. [[Jamea Jackson]] beat her in the second round. Two consecutive wild cards followed, the first into the main draw of the [[International Women's Open|Eastbourne International]] (where she did not make it past the first round) and the second into the main draw of Wimbledon. She had a shock victory here by winning her first-round match against world No. 66, [[Marta Domachowska]]. This set up a second round match against future world No. 1, [[Ana Ivanovic]], which she lost, 1–6, 2–6. Following Wimbledon, Borwell reached the quarterfinals of one ITF tournament that year and was beaten in the first round of qualifying of the [[US Open (tennis)|US Open]] by [[Stéphanie Cohen-Aloro]]. Her ranking was 218 at the end of this season.<ref name=wta />

===2007===
From January to June 2007, Borwell played on the ITF Circuit. She reached three quarterfinals in this time. Then, she participated in the [[French Open]] qualifying tournament where she was beaten by [[Stéphanie Dubois]]. She lost in qualifying for the Birmingham Classic, Eastbourne International and Wimbledon, before reaching the quarterfinals of the ITF tournament held in Felixstowe. Her next tournament was another ITF event, this one held in Frinton where she defeated fellow Brit Jade Curtis in the final. The second ITF title of her career. This was followed by another quarterfinal appearance in an ITF tournament before she lost in the qualifying rounds for three consecutive WTA tournaments. One more quarterfinal in an ITF event rounded off her results for 2007. She finished the year at a ranking of 264.<ref name=wta />

===2008===
Borwell spent most of 2008 playing on the [[2008 ITF Women's Circuit|ITF Circuit]], reaching two consecutive finals in March in Dijon and Bath. She lost the first to [[Olga Brózda]] and won the second by defeating [[Stéphanie Vongsouthi]]. In July she reached her only other singles final of the ITF season in the Felixstowe tournament, losing to [[Neuza Silva]], 3–6, 2–6. Her participation on the [[2008 WTA Tour|WTA Tour]] that year consisted of four losing efforts as she attempted to qualify for the [[2008 DFS Classic|Birmingham Classic]], the [[2008 Banka Koper Slovenia Open|Slovenia Open]], the [[2008 Nordea Nordic Light Open|Nordic Light Open]] and the [[2008 Bell Challenge|Bell Challenge]]. Borwell was awarded a [[wild card (sports)|wildcard]] into the qualifying draw of [[2008 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]] where she was beaten by [[Yaroslava Shvedova]], in three sets. In November, Borwell made the decision to stop playing singles and become a doubles specialist.<ref name=wta />

===2009–2010===
With her doubles ranking high enough for her to enter the main draw of many WTA tournaments without having to qualify. She reached the quarterfinals of four [[WTA International tournaments|International]] tournaments: [[2009 ASB Classic – Doubles|Birmingham Classic]], [[2009 Moorilla Hobart International – Doubles|Hobart International]], [[2009 Abierto Mexicano Telcel – Women's doubles|Mexican Open]] and the [[2009 Monterrey Open – Doubles|Monterrey Open]]. She also made the semifinal of the main tour event in Bad Gastein. In 2010, Borwell teamed up full-time with American [[Raquel Kops-Jones]]. So far, they had made three quarterfinals but their highlight has been a semifinal in the WTA Tour events at Ponte Vedra Beach and Stanford.

Both the French Open and Wimbledon proved to be a frustrating experience for Borwell and Kops-Jones. Although sandwiched between both tournaments, they picked up an ITF title in Nottingham (defeating [[Naomi Broady]] and [[Katie O'Brien]] in the final) they suffered first round defeats in both major events. At the French they came up against nemesis' and eventual finalists [[Katarina Srebotnik]] and [[Květa Peschke]] and were thrashed 6–0, 6–1. At Wimbledon, they played a high quality game against fifth seeds [[Liezel Huber]] and [[Bethanie Mattek-Sands]]. They played the first two centre court before bad light forced the match to be resumed the next day, at one set all. where Huber and Mattek prevailed 7–5 in the decider. Borwell did, however, win a round with [[Colin Fleming]] in the mixed doubles, before losing in the second to top seeds [[Nenad Zimonjić]] and [[Sam Stosur]].

In July, Borwell teamed up with [[Martina Hingis]] and [[Scoville Jenkins]] to form the [[New York Buzz]] team at the [[World TeamTennis]] championships. Although they struggled and were the least successful team, Borwell and Jenkins registered a very impressive Mixed Doubles success against [[John McEnroe]] and [[Kim Clijsters]].

At the [[Bank of the West Classic|Silicon Valley Classic]], Borwell and Jones caused a huge upset in round one as they defeated [[Lisa Raymond]] and [[Rennae Stubbs]], 6–0, 4–6, [12–10]. On the win Borwell said 'We deserved that.'<ref>{{cite news |title=Sarah Borwell & Raquel Kops-Jones stun top seeds |date=2010-07-27 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8860935.stm |work=BBC Sport |access-date=2010-07-30}}</ref> They reached the semifinal despite Borwell being hit on the head with a 10–6 champion tie-break win against [[Lilia Osterloh]] and [[Riza Zalameda]], Borwell said this win was more important than their first-round win.<ref>{{cite news |title=Sarah Borwell and Raquel Kops-Jones reach semi-final |date=2010-07-30 |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8869838.stm |work=BBC Sport |access-date=2010-07-30}}</ref> The blow to the head, Borwell received in that match turned out to be a brain bleed that kept her out of action for about a month, causing her to miss the US Open.

Borwell returned to action at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, competing for England in both the women's and mixed doubles. [[Anna Smith (tennis)|Anna Smith]] and [[Ken Skupski]] were her respective partners. Borwell and Smith were seeded second, however could not live up to that ranking losing their quarterfinal match in straight sets. Borwell and Skupski, however, combined well eventually winning the bronze medal, defeating Smith and partner [[Ross Hutchins]].

===2011–2012===
In 2011, Borwell reached the first round of both the [[2011 Australian Open – Women's doubles|Australian Open]] and [[2011 Wimbledon Championships – Women's doubles|Wimbledon Championships]] but lost both times.
