SONAY KARTAL marked her WTA Tour comeback with a straight-sets victory over Spain’s Andrea Lazaro Garcia in Beijing today.

The 24-year-old, who returned from a six-month injury absence in Great Britain’s Billie Jean King Cup tie last week, impressed in her first tournament appearance since March by recording a 6-2 6-3 victory and setting up a second-round meeting with 31st seed Wang Xinyu.
