Fresh off a top-12 win, Sonay Kartal looks to salvage another big fish as she takes on former top-10 player Jasmine Paolini in the third round of the 2026 Wuhan Open.

Current Form:

Jasmine Paolini has shown signs of life in Wuhan after posting clean wins against formidable Czech opponents. Paolini swept Sara Bejlek 6-3, 6-2 and followed it up with a 7-6, 6-3 win over Nikola Bartunkova, the 2026 China Open semifinalist.

Sonay Kartal clinched an upset win over Belinda Bencic 6-0, 7-5. Kartal, who also defeated Anhelina Kalinina 7-5, 6-3, is 4-1 in her last 5 matches. The Brit reached the third round of the 2026 China Open a week ago.

The Matchup: Paolini and Kartal will meet for the first time on the WTA Tour.
