Sonay Kartal produced the second biggest win of her career as she continued her impressive comeback from long-term injury. The 24-year-old from Brighton made a flying start against world No 12 Belinda Bencic in the second round of the Wuhan Open and went on to claim a 6-0 7-5 victory. Kartal missed six months of the season with a stress fracture in her back, returning last month at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen.
