Britain's Kartal misses out on biggest title of her career
Britain's Sonay Kartal narrowly missed out on claiming the biggest title of her career after a gripping defeat at the Wuhan Open final. Facing French Open runner-up Maja Chwalinska, Kartal fought hard but ultimately faded physically and mentally in a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 loss. Despite the disappointing end to the tournament, the 24-year-old enjoyed a transformational week in China. Starting the event ranked 170th in the world following a six-month injury layoff, Kartal is set to become the British number one.
