Sonay Kartal continued her impressive comeback from long-term injury with a comfortable win over former Wimbledon finalist Jasmine Paolini to reach the Wuhan Open quarter-finals.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kartal, 24, missed more than six months with a stress fracture in her back, but has won five of her seven matches since returning to action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The former world number 44 ruthlessly brushed aside Italian 15th seed Paolini in a 6-2 6-0 victory, further validating Kartal&#8217;s patient approach to recovering from the first serious injury of her career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It was another statement performance from Kartal, backing up her straight-set win over ninth seed Belinda Bencic in the previous round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Against someone as good as Jasmine is, I knew I had to be solid from the start and not let up. From my side, it was a pretty flawless performance,&#8221; Kartal said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper

class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kartal was riding the crest of a wave in the early part of the season, having broken into the world&#8217;s top 50, reached two WTA quarter-finals and recorded notable wins over top-class opponents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Victories over 2025 Australian Open champion Madison Keys and former world number eight Emma Navarro in Indian Wells led to a meeting with now world number one Elena Rybakina in the fourth round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">However, Kartal was forced to retire with the back injury which proved more serious than first thought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">After initially hoping she would make a quick recovery, the pain left Kartal unable to  brush her teeth without &#8220;being in agony&#8221; and led to some difficult decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Missing Wimbledon was a particularly tough choice, especially given she reached the fourth round of her home Grand Slam in 2025, but resigning herself to the fact she could not rush a comeback has proved to be a wise decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Her first match back a little over three weeks ago &#8211; representing Great Britain at the BJK Cup &#8211; ended in a narrow defeat, before she won two matches to reach the Beijing third round in her WTA Tour return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;At the BJK Cup, the level I produced was much higher than I thought and I left super happy,&#8221; Kartal said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Now I&#8217;m growing in confidence with every match I&#8217;m playing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"image\"

Kartal carried that momentum into Wuhan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She has not dropped a set in victories over Ukrainian world number 48 Anhelina Kalinina, 2020 Olympic champion Bencic and two-time major finalist Paolini.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kartal maintained a high level from the baseline as Paolini unravelled with a series of unforced errors, securing a meeting with Ukraine&#8217;s Elina Svitolina &#8211; a four-time Grand Slam semi-finalist &#8211; in the quarter-finals on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev continued to show why he is the best men&#8217;s player in the world this season with a dominant 6-4 6-4 win over Australia&#8217;s world number nine Alex de Minaur in the Shanghai Masters quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In the week that Zverev was assured of finishing the season as the year-end ATP number one, the
