Diane Parry was beaten this Friday in the 3rd round by Sonay Kartal, who won in two sets (6-4, 6-2) and 1h24 of play. After having released Petra Martic and Diana Shnaider, the native of Nice this time stopped on the 51st world. However, on the court number 1, it was Parry who ideally started the meeting.
Entry authoritarian, The player currently at 118th in the WTA ranking first led 3-0 then 4-1 before completely collapsing. Conversely, “nervous” in front of an audience acquired to his cause, Kartal managed to regain and completely reverse the situation to his advantage. Thus, in the hard time during the first round, the young Briton (23) scored five games in a row to go from 1-4 to 6-4, and therefore go to the head.

On its momentum, the native of London continued to shine on the lawn of Wimbledon and left only crumbs in Parry.
By taking the service of the latter in the second set twice in the second set, Kartal escaped (4-0) and then insured to no longer be caught. If the Frenchwoman ended up unlocking her counter, she could not get her behind and therefore took the door. “I was very nervous at the start of the match, I wanted to make my family and the public proud,” said the Briton later, during the interview given on the court after her first qualification for the final of the London Grand Chelem.
In the next round, Kartal will now challenge the Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who overturned earlier this Friday Naomi Osaka (3-6, 6-4, 6-4). Also note the qualification for the 8th finals of Amanda Anisimova who beat Dalma Galfi (6-3, 5-7, 6-3).
