Kartal postpones tattoo appointment for doubles match

French Open 2025

Location: Roland Garros, May 25 – June

Sonay Kartal claims that her first-round doubles match at the French Open interfered with her decision to postpone a tattoo appointment.

On her French Open debut, the British number three defeated Russian Erika Andreeva 6-0, 2 and 6-2.

At 11:00 local time (10:00 BST), Jodie Burrage and she are scheduled to return to the court on Wednesday morning for the women’s doubles in Paris.

Kartal already planned things out before the schedule was released, though.

Kartal responded, “You know what? ” when asked if she planned any tattoos in the French Open style. One was actually scheduled for tomorrow at 11:45.

Kartal won eight straight games before a frustrated Andreeva, the older sister of Mirra, managed to get on the board without getting caught up in the dreaded “double bagel.”

However, Kartal dominated the final two sets, breaking again at 5-2 before hitting four winners in a row to claim the victory.

The 23-year-old has 13 tattoos, and the number 14 will go up against her sister.

Kartal continued, “I’m not actually sure what I’m going to get.” I believe she wants matching, so I’ll give her whatever she wants.

In the second round, Kartal will face Marie Bouzkova from the Czech Republic or Anna Kalinskaya from Russia, and she will also have tattoos planned for her final appearance at Roland Garros.
