Sonay won 5 games in a row from a break down to take the first set 6-2!

Make that 8 games in a row, a set and a break up

Dipping in and out

Sonay playing dynamic tennis, on her toes, staying on her line, moving the ball around very well

Jasmine is simply having real troubles trying to impose any of her game - she plays a couple of good shots but it's not enough and then Sonay has forced the error. She would like more cadence, more power, but Sonay is varying it well, and throwing her off balance

Sonay is up to WR113 on live ranking - one win away from a return to the top 100.

Just shook my head in disbelief on seeing the result - the bandwagon just keeps rolling!!

Annoyingly I've been asked to work tomorrow which is usually my day off, so please win Sonay so I can watch you on Saturday......

Jan · Hall of fame

That is seriously impressive! Well done Sonay!

wolf · Tennis legend

Absolutely smashing it.

Good to see Sonay win so comprehensively. Jasmine forced into making lots of unforced errors and struggled a bit with her serve at times
