Kartal won her first ITF title in November 2021, at the Antalya 15k event, beating Amarissa Toth in the final.[9] This was shortly followed by her second title (and her first on hardcourt) at Monastir $15k, defeating former world No. 40,[10] Ayumi Morita, in the final.[11]

Kartal won the women's title at the 2021 UK Pro League with a straight sets win over Freya Christie in the final.[12][13][14] She ended 2021 ranked 993.[citation needed]

Kartal was part of the BJK Cup team for the qualifying tie in April 2022 when Great Britain faced the Czech team in Prague. However, she was not selected to play any matches.[18]

In May 2022, she won two consecutive singles titles in the third and fourth weeks of the 25k Nottingham events, beating Danielle Lao and Joanna Garland in the finals.[19][20]

During the grass-court season, Kartal defeated Lily Miyazaki in the first round at the 2022 Surbiton Trophy, before falling in the second round to top seed Madison Brengle.[21] She made her WTA Tour debut as a wildcard entrant at the 2022 Nottingham Open, where she lost in the first round to Camila Giorgi.[22][23] At the 2022 Ilkley Trophy, she reached her first semifinal at 100k level, losing in two tiebreakers to compatriot Jodie Burrage.[24]

In October, she posted a quarterfinal result at the W60 indoor event in Trnava, losing to the second seed Vitalia Diatchenko.[28] The following week at the W60 Trvana 2, she upset third seed Daria Snigur in the first round, but was forced to retire from her second-round match due to injury.[29] However, these performances allowed Kartal to make her top-200 debut and she ended the year ranked as world No. 198, almost 800 places above her 2021 year-end ranking.[30]

2023–2024: Wimbledon third round, WTA Tour title, top 100

In August 2024, Kartal lifted back-to-back W35 GB Pro Series trophies on hardcourts in Roehampton, England, her fourth and fifth titles at that level in the season.[38][39]

As a result, she broke into the top 100, rising 55 positions up to a new career-high of world No. 96 in the WTA singles rankings for the first time in her career.[49][50]

Kartal made her debut for the Great Britain Billie Jean King Cup team against Germany in the 2025 qualifying round held in The Hague,[62] recording a win over Jule Niemeier in the opening singles match.[63] She then defeated Eva Vedder as Great Britain beat the Netherlands to secure a place at the finals.[64]

At the Madrid Open, Kartal overcame Jaqueline Cristian in the first round,[65] before losing her next match to 17th seed Elina Svitolina.[66] Also in her debut appearance at the Italian Open, she defeated Kimberly Birrell,[67] but lost to 30th seed Linda Nosková in the second round.[68] At the French Open where she also made her debut, Kartal defeated Erika Andreeva in the first round.[69][70] She lost her next match to Marie Bouzková.[71] Following Roland Garros, Kartal made her top 50 debut on 9 June 2025.[72]
