Sonay Kartal defies pre-tournament illness to cruise through Surbiton opener
Sonay Kartal has not let a pre-tournament virus stop her from hitting her stride at the LTA's Lexus Surbiton Trophy. The 21-year-old Brighton star, who is supported by the LTA's PSP Programme, breezed past Slovakian Viktoria Hruncakova 6-3 6-2 to advance to the round of 16 in West London. Ad The victory sets up an all-British clash against Katie Boulter, who sailed past Australia's Olivia Gadecki in straight sets shortly after Kartal's victory.
