French Open 2025
Location: Roland Garros, May 25 – June
Following a second-round defeat by Marie Bouzkova, British Open player Sonay Kartal is withdrawn.
Kartal struggled for consistency in her first Roland Garros defeat to the Czech, who finished 6-1, 6-4, against her.
The first of five Britons to compete in singles on Thursday was the world number 56 Kartal.
Later on Court Philippe Chatrier, Roland Garros’ main showcourt, Katie Boulter will face Australian Open champion Madison Keys, and Jack Draper will play home favorite Gael Monfils in the late-night session.
The Briton broke in the match’s opening service game, but neither Kartal nor Bouzkova had a fluent beginning.
In the following game, Kartal was unable to convert a break-back point and was quickly led to surrender before serving.
A dubious doubles player named Bouzkova dictated the action, and Kartal’s double fault gave her the first set.
The second set featured a topsy-turvy match between the players, who traded six serve breaks before Bouzkova finally tied the match at 5-4.
