Local favourite Sonay Kartal kicks things off on the No.1 Court on the first day of round three action at Wimbledon 2025. Kartal is going up against Diane Parry of France, and this will be the pair’s first-ever encounter.

In a battle between two players in their early 20s, it will be interesting to see how they tackle each other’s games. The winner of this match will be up against either Naomi Osaka or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the next round.

Sonay Kartal vs Diane Parry Preview

British tennis player, Sonay Kartal, often referred to as a pocket rocket due to her diminutive size and speed on court, entered the grass courts of Wimbledon on the back of a 2-3 record on this surface this year. Her last match on grass prior to this tournament was against Jelena Ostapenko, where she lost in straight sets at the Eastbourne Open.

However, the Brit flipped the script and won against the same opponent in her first round here. That tough three-set win, which knocked out the 20th seed, must have given Kartal plenty of confidence as she then steamrolled her way past Viktoriya Tomova in straight sets, dropping only 4 games.

Parry played superbly to down the 12th seed en route to a 6-4, 6-1 win. Parry broke Shnaider’s serve four times from just 5 attempts and outplayed her opponent by hitting 21 winners against 9 for the Russian, while also winning 81% of her points on the first serve.
