Emma Raducanu joins Sonay Kartal in the 3rd round of the China open. Sonay beat 14th seed Kasatkina 6-3 6-0 and Emma beat qualifier Bucsa 6-3 6-3.
Emma lost to Jess Pegula despite having match points in set 2 but Sonay is in the last 16 of the China open.
Cash/Glasspool gave a walkover to Khachanov/Rublev in the quarter final. Heliovaara/Patten are in the semi final.
Mihalikova/Nicholls are in the women’s quarter final.
Good to see Sonay through,well done! certainly unfortunate for Emma as she lost to Pegula 3-6,7-6,6-0. obviously Jessica is a top player but somewhat frustrating that Emma fell away.
Oh wow! Sonay has just beaten Mirra Andreeva, 4th seed, 7-5 2-6 7-5 and I think will go just above Katie in live rankings at 60!!!!!!
A fabulous win for Sonay and did not expect that,Andreeva though having a few earlier exits recently.
Sonay Kartal v Linda Noskova start at 08.00 UK time.
It was 3-3 but Sonay has just been broken so the Czech player will serve at *4-3 after the change of ends.
It took Sonay 3 sets to beat Andreeva in the previous round so there's time yet ...
Oh dear, that didn't take long ... Noskova takes the first set 6'3 v Kartal.
Noskova won 6-3 6-4.
A pity but still a good run for Sonay which should build on!
just a shout out to Emily Webley-Smith, aged 41 and 26 years after making her professional debut, reached her first WTA Tour doubles final at the Jiangxi Open.
Unfortunately her rand partner Ekaterina Ovcharenko lost in two. But still, perseverance !
