Great Britain's Sonay Kartal beat lucky loser Renata Zarazua to advance to the last eight of the Abu Dhabi Open after original opponent - and defending champion - Belinda Bencic withdrew through illness.
World number nine Bencic became the first mother to win a WTA singles title since May 2023 when she beat Ashlyn Krueger in last year's final just four months after returning from maternity leave.
Kartal, who came through two qualifying matches before beating Spain's Cristina Busca in round one, was on court for just 57 minutes as she overcame Mexico's Zarazua 6-0 6-3.
