Sonay Kartal is quickly becoming a name to watch in British tennis. Kartal, who has Turkish roots, turned heads in 2024 by reaching the third round of Wimbledon—an impressive feat considering she came through the qualification rounds.

Known to fans as “Karts,” Sonay has been coached by Julie Hobbs, her trusted coach, for years. Her breakthrough year also saw her claim her first WTA title in Monastir, Tunisia, in 2024, showing that she’s more than capable of competing at the highest level.

With Adidas and Babolat as her sponsors, Kartal has the backing of some big names in the sports world. While she has earned just under $1 million so far in her career, this promising start suggests we’ll be seeing much more of her in the future.
