Cagla Buyukakcay rewrote enough pages of WTA history to fill a whole book. The Turkish star became the first from her country to reach a WTA semfinal, final, and capture a title – all in one week in front of her home country at the TEB BNP Paribas Istanbul Cup.

“It’s an incredible week for me to win the title at home, to break into the Top 100 with this tournament, to play against someone with my crowd,” she said after the match. “It was an amazing atmosphere today. I was playing better and better every day, but of course every day is another day, so I didn’t expect to win at the beginning of the week. I’m so excited and so happy for today.

The winning week at home also helped her become the first Turkish woman to enter the Top 100, and earned her the most fan votes for April’s WTA Breakthrough of the Month with over 40,000 votes.

For all of those reasons, Buyukakcay is your Breakthrough Player of the Month!
