Almost taking the anger for her failure to go deep at the year’s last Grand Slam on her opponent, Rybakina moved through the gears swiftly after the chair umpire said ‘play’.
Before the Russian could even realize what had hit her, the Kazakh tennis star had pocketed the opening set 6-1. With the momentum firmly with her, Rybakina went for the kill in the second.
Her high-press and aggressive brand of tennis fetched the desired result, as she opened up a lead over the hapless Russian after another break of serve and held on to her advantage to close out a facile 6-1, 6-3 win.
However, between the Kazakh star and a place in the quarter-finals stands rising Polish player Magda Linette. Though they have never played each other before, they will have watched enough of themselves to have a sense of their individual strengths and weaknesses.
What’s guaranteed is that there’s enough quality in her opponent’s game to be at her best and not drop her levels on match day.
