Rybakina advances to 3rd round at French Open, Keys defeated

Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina comfortably progressed to the third round of the French Open after defeating Czech teenager Linda Noskova. Despite winning the Italian Open, Rybakina admits that playing on clay is still a challenge for her, but she is confident in her height advantage. She hit 30 winners in the match against Noskova, but also had 26 unforced errors. Rybakina will face Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo in the next round. Meanwhile, American player Kayla Day caused an upset by defeating No. 20 seed Madison Keys, who made 74 unforced errors in the match. Defending champion Iga Swiatek and last year’s runner-up Coco Gauff are also set to play their second-round matches.
