FULL THRILL OF THE GAME ZEYNEP SÖNMEZ DOMINATES AND DEFEATS CARLOTA MARTINEZ CIREZ 7 5, 6 2 IN MADRID
The Mutua Madrid Open witnessed a commanding performance from Turkey's Zeynep Sönmez as she swept past Spanish wildcard Carlota Martinez Cirez in straight sets. The final score line of 7 5, 6 2 does not fully capture the battle that unfolded on the clay, particularly in a tense first set that could have gone either way. But when the pressure mounted, Sönmez raised her level while the young Spaniard faded under the weight of home expectations.
