French Open: Title contender Rybakina marches past teenager Noskova into third round

The Hindu  

Fourth seed Elena Rybakina booked her third round spot with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over rising Czech teenager Linda Noskova on Thursday, confirming her status as one of the front-runners for the title. The Wimbledon champion, who reached this year’s Australian Open final, also looked at ease on clay despite her game -- a huge serve and powerful shots -- being more suited to quicker surfaces. Rybakina, a member of the new ‘Big three’ along with fellow title contenders, world number one Iga Swiatek and second seed Aryna Sabalenka, struggled with Noskova’s powerful serve and thundering forehand. “A lot of mistakes.” It was Noskova who carved out two break points at 3-3 but Rybakina, who also won the title at Indian Wells this season before reaching the Miami Open final -- both hardcourt tournaments -- saved them both.
