French Open: Sabalenka, Rybakina Survive Scares; Mirra Andreeva, 17, Reaches Fourth Round
Stade Roland Garros: Second seed Aryna Sabalenka, fourth seed Elena Rybakina, and upcoming youngster Mirra Andreeva advanced to the fourth round of the French Open, winning their women's singles third-round matches in contrasting styles. On another day disrupted by incessant rains that have lashed Paris for the last many days, Sabalenka and Rybakina both overturned early break deficits to make the second week of Roland Garros for a second time each.
Sabalenka came from 5-3 down in the first set to race away 7-5, 6-1 against Paula Badosa in 77 minutes. Earlier, Rybakina had posted a 6-4, 6-2 win over No.25 seed Elise Mertens in 67 minutes. Last year, Sabalenka's semifinal run in Paris marked the first time she had made the Roland Garros second week. She returns to that stage for a second year running and is now two matches away from a seventh consecutive Grand Slam semifinal showing.
Rybakina had reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal in Paris back in 2021, defeating Serena Williams in the 23-time Grand Slam champion's final match at Roland Garros. However, she fell in the 2022 third round to Keys and withdrew ahead of her 2023 third round against Sara Sorribes Tormo due to illness.
