London-born Sonay Kartal has been described “an absolute inspiration” to her club and hometown as she made it through to the third round of Wimbledon.
Despite battling undisclosed health problems for much of the last year, the world number 298 won against France’s Clara Burel, ranked 45th, in an impressive upset on Wednesday afternoon - becoming the first British ladies' qualifier to reach the third round of the Championships since 1997.
