Zeynep Sönmez's historic success and humanity at the Australian Open - PHOTO/VIDEO

Turkish tennis player Zeynep Sönmez achieved a historic success in the first "Grand Slam" tournament of the season.

İdman.Biz reports that Zeynep Sönmez became the first Turkish female tennis player to win a match in the women's singles competition at the Australian Open. She defeated Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova 2:1 in the first round and advanced to the second round.

In the second round, the Turkish tennis player will face the winner of the match between Hungarian representative Anna Bondar and American Elizabeth Mandlik.

Zeynep Sönmez attracted attention in this match not only with her sports results but also with her behavior. During the match, one of the ball boys felt unwell due to the high temperature. Seeing the situation, Zeynep immediately went to the child and helped him, accompanying him to the edge of the court. The game was briefly interrupted, and the tennis player's action was greeted with applause from the stands.

Zeynep Sönmez's behavior was widely covered in the world media, and it was emphasized that she set an example of fair play in sports.
