Resurgent Kartal beats Ostapenko to reach Wuhan Open final
British player Sonay Kartal continues her fine run by beating former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko 7-6 (9), 7-6 (5) to reach the Wuhan Open final. Kartal鈥檚 victory against the 2017 French Open winner added to big wins against Elina Svitolina and two-time Grand Slam finalist Jasmine Paolini. The No. 170-ranked Kartal missed more than six months with a stress fracture in her back earlier this year.
She next faces either six-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek or French Open runner-up Maja Chwalinska. The Polish players met later Saturday in their semifinal.
