Sonay Kartal missed out on the biggest title of her career after losing to Maja Chwalinska in the Wuhan Open final.
The British player was unable to maintain her challenge in a closely contested match, fading during a gripping encounter against Chwalinska, a Grand Slam runner-up.
Victory would have delivered Kartal the most significant title of her career. Instead, Chwalinska secured the Wuhan Open crown after overcoming the British finalist.
The result leaves Kartal as runner-up in Wuhan, while Chwalinska adds the tournament title to a career that already includes a Grand Slam final appearance. No further details on Kartal’s next event were provided.
