Rybakina Dispatches Brenda Fruhvirtova
World no. 4 Elena Rybakina made a convincing start in the tournament, defeating the Czech Republic’s Brenda Fruhvirtova in straight sets.
The Kazakh player needed an hour and 20 minutes for her 6-4, 6-2 victory.
Fruhvirtova was the first to break in the opening set, but Rybakina wrapped up the set by breaking twice in the last three games.
Fruhvirtova also got the first break in the second set, but the reigning Wimbledon champion responded quickly and finished with a flurry, by breaking the Czech thrice and taking the last five games in a row.
Rybakina, who was the Australian Open finalist this year, improved her season record to 31-7. She is 8-2 on clay and the win on Tuesday marked her seventh consecutive victory. She had come to her fifth French Open as the Italian Open champion. Additionally she also won the Indian Wells title and finished runner-up in Miami.
Rybakina’s best at Roland Garros so far has been a quarterfinal finish in 2021. She looks in good position to top that this year.
