The 25-year-old Chwalinska, who was ranked 146 in the world at the start of the year, achieved an impressive comeback against the 170-ranked Kartal, who was making her second WTA 1000 event appearance after a six-month absence due to a spinal stress fracture. Chwalinska started the year ranked 146 in the world and reached the French Open final as a qualifier in June, making her the fourth player to win her first tour-level title at a WTA 1000 event.",
