Sorribes Tormo Makes it a Hat-Trick of Three-Setters
The world number 58 Sorribes Tormo had never made it past the second round at any WTA 1000 events before this but she has now done two better. After registering a three-set win over Bernarda Pera and then shocking Jennifer Brady in the second round in another three-setter, Sorribes Tormo had already gotten past that hurdle.
And then in her third round match against Elena Rybakina, Sorribes Tormo made it three in three, as she defeated her much higher-ranked opponent 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 to storm in the round of 16.
The first set was all one-way traffic there, with the Spaniard breaking Rybakina thrice to clinch the set, and it looked like she was going to run away with the match when she took a 2-0 lead in the second. The world number 23 responded with three breaks of her own to level the match, but with Rybakina struggling to find her first serves in at clutch moments, the Spaniard made her pay with four breaks of serves in the final set.
