Kartal upsets Svitolina to reach Wuhan semi-finals
Sonay Kartal's winning streak following a long injury lay-off continues as she seals a hard-fought victory over fifth seed Elina Svitolina in the quarter-finals of the Wuhan Open.
Sonay Kartal, the 24-year-old British tennis player, has made a remarkable comeback after a long injury layoff, reaching the semi-finals of the Wuhan Open. Kartal, who missed over six months due to a stress fracture in her back, defeated fifth seed Elina Svitolina in a hard-fought quarter-final match with a score of 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.
This victory marks Kartal's sixth win in eight matches since returning from her injury. The performance was a testament to Kartal's resilience and composure, as she had not dropped a set during her run to the quarter-finals. Kartal will face 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, who defeated 11th seed Diana Shnaider in the other quarter-final match.
