Blazing on a Sonay afternoon

BRIT BLASTS INTO LAST 16 AT WIMBLEDON

- BY ANDY SIMS

MANY British players have wilted under the Wimbledon spotlight but Sonay Kartal is revelling in it.

The 23-year-old from Brighton roared into the fourth round after sweeping aside French qualifier Diane Parry.

She is in the last 16 of a grand slam for the first time in her career after a sizzling 6-4 6-2 victory.

When Jack Draper was knocked out by Marin Cilic on Thursday he admitted the expectation levels surrounding home players made him realise just how big two-time winner Andy Murray's achievements were.
