Kartal and the Missed Opportunity: "I am devastated, people kept repeating to me that the game was wide open"

Wimbledon will now have 48 editions without seeing a local champion in the tournament, these are the consequences of Sonay Kartal's elimination this Sunday in the round of 16 against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. A duel that started as a very open match, although the Russian managed to tip the balance in favor by leveraging her experience. 

“I am devastated for not getting the victory, people kept telling me that the draw was wide open, but I believe Anastasia played like a top seed. Still, I am proud of the week I had, on a surface that is not mine I've achieved many victories, every kid's dream is to play on Centre Court, even though today I leave disappointed. This week has shown me that I can go deep in Grand Slams, that I can beat the best in the locker room, I leave with a lot of motivation,” Kartal stated after the defeat.
