NEW DELHI: Fourth seed Elena Rybakina overcame a sluggish start to secure a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Dutchwoman Arantxa Rus in Paris on Thursday, advancing to the third round of the French Open.
Rybakina, a former Wimbledon champion, experienced an early hiccup with a double fault but quickly regained her footing, holding serve in the opening game under the roof on Court Suzanne Lenglen.
