Sonay Kartal Form
Sonay Kartal finds herself up against Jelena Ostapenko once again, just a week after their encounter in Eastbourne, where the Brit fell in straight sets in the opening round.
Kartal has taken part in three grass-court tournaments this season. In addition to her early exit in Eastbourne, she also lost in the second round at Queen’s Club to Amanda Anisimova and in Nottingham to Katie Boulter.
Aside from a fourth-round run at Indian Wells earlier this year, Kartal hasn’t delivered any significant results on tour. She holds a 7–4 record in first-round matches this season, which includes a win over Erika Andreeva at the French Open.
Her overall Grand Slam record stands at 3–5, with two of those victories coming at Wimbledon. While she fell in the opening rounds in both 2022 and 2023, she reached the third round in 2024 as a qualifier—her best result at a Slam to date.

Jelena Ostapenko Form
Jelena Ostapenko enters Wimbledon on the back of a setback in Eastbourne, where she retired from her second-round match against Alexandra Eala due to injury.
The Latvian has had a mixed season. She failed to win multiple matches in 11 of her 14 tournaments, but made deep runs in the other three—reaching the final in Doha and capturing the title in Stuttgart.
Ostapenko has a strong track record on grass, having reached the quarterfinals or better on the surface 10 times in her career. That includes three such runs at Wimbledon—in 2017, 2018, and most recently in 2024.
This is her 10th appearance at the All England Club, where she has suffered a first-round exit only twice. In last year’s edition, she claimed wins over Bernarda Pera and Yulia Putintseva before falling to eventual champion Barbora Krejcikova in the quarterfinals.
Verdict
While Jelena Ostapenko enters as the favorite, this may not be as straightforward as it appears. Sonay Kartal challenged her in Eastbourne just a few days ago and will take confidence from that performance.
With Ostapenko carrying a recent injury from her second-round retirement last week, there could be an opportunity for Kartal to make this more competitive than the odds suggest.
