The young promise of British tennis, Sonay Kartal, confirmed a great week of tennis at the WTA Monastir 2024 by winning the title. Both the British player and her opponent, Slovakia's Rebecca Sramkova, were seeking their first title in the category in this match (6-3 7-5). Kartal, who came from the qualifying rounds and only dropped one set throughout the tournament, is having a dream year by climbing over 200 spots in the ranking in recent months and reaching the third round at the Grand Slam she plays at home, Wimbledon.

The final lasted two hours. The first set was relatively comfortable for the 22-year-old British player, who was only behind in the score after the first game of the match. In the second set, Kartal was serving to make it 5-1 and practically seal the tournament when Sramkova started a comeback, eventually finishing the match 7-5 to claim her first WTA 250 title.
