United Cup: Rybakina, Shevchenko Clinch Mixed Doubles To Seal Kazakhstan's Win Over Spain
Lexus ATP Head2Head: Kazakhstan opened their campaign in the United Cup mixed team event as former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina led them to a key opening-day win over Spain in Group C of the United Cup in Perth on Friday.
After pulling her country back onto level terms with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the second match of the day, Rybankina teamed with fellow No. 1 singles player Alexander Shevchenko to clinch the deciding mixed doubles over Pablo Carreno Busta and Yvonne Cavalle-Reimers 7-6(4), 6-7(2), 10-7. World No.9 Shevchenko had earlier lost to World No. 14 Pablo Carreno Busta in the opening match of the competition.
Earlier, in her first match alongside her new coach, 2001 Wimbledon champion and former ATP World No.2 Goran Ivanisevic, the 2022 Wimbledon champion Rybakina had things go mostly her way in her first career meeting with Bouzas Maneiro.
