Great British qualifier Sonay Kartal captured her first WTA Tour title on Sunday, defeating Rebecca Sramkova of Slovakia 6-3, 7-5 at the Jasmin Open Tunisia in Monastir, Tunisia.
It was the first WTA singles final for both Kartal, ranked No. 151 in the world, and Sramkova, No. 136.
Each player converted 50 percent of her break-point opportunities, with Kartal going 7 of 14 and Sramkova 5 of 10. Sramkova committed 39 unforced errors to 18 for Kartal. The match lasted a minute under two hours.
Kartal, 22, had never advanced past the quarterfinals at the tour level until this week. She did not drop a set after losing the first set in the main draw to fifth-seeded Jaqueline Cristian.
Kartal had reached the third round at Wimbledon, losing to Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-0.
