Sonay breaks in set 3.

When was she last beaten on tour? End of last year?

the addict · Tennis legend

Sonay lost to Beth in Loughborough. Her previous loss at ITF level was in the final at the W15 in Antalya in Ocober last year - her first event snce November 2019. That's 31 wins (inc qualies) and just 2 losses.

Well done Sonay - very good tie break and the winning point down the line was outstanding

Typical, the scoreboard froze on me - and I went to look at the live stream to see them smoothing the court !

Sonay's run looks like coming to an end, as she has lost the first set 6-1

Has anyone done it since Andy's run to world no.1, because that's the only one I can think of? But I don't follow all tennis levels, so there could be someone else between 2016 (Andy) and 2022 (Sonay). Doubles? Wheelchair?

A bit more than a handful unfortunately, Sonay lost 1 and 2 cry

But perhaps not entirely a bad thing, will give her an idea what she needs to work on.
