Sonay Kartal Claims the Biggest Victory of Her Career

Sonay Kartal achieved the most significant victory of her career by defeating Mirra Andreeva with a score of 7-5, 2-6, and 7-5, securing her place in the quarterfinals. This is the first time Kartal has overcome a top 10 player and reached the quarterfinals in a WTA 1000 event.

I think the way I behave on the court is one of my biggest assets. You could look at me on the other side and you wouldn’t really know if I’m winning or losing. I just tried to leave that second set behind. She played great tennis, so I tried to level it up in the third set and keep the pressure on the scoreboard as high as possible.
