Sonay Kartal continued her impressive form since returning from injury with a straight-sets victory over Anhelina Kalinina at the Wuhan Open.
The British player’s win against the top-50 opponent secured her place in the tournament’s second round. Kartal produced another positive result as she builds momentum following her return to fitness.
Kalinina was unable to take a set from Kartal, who completed the victory without needing a deciding set. The result adds to the encouraging run of form that has followed Kartal’s recovery from injury.
Kartal will now continue her campaign in Wuhan in the second round, with further progress offering another opportunity to strengthen her return to competitive tennis.
