This was Rybakina’s 30th win on the tour this year. It is also the third year in a row that the Kazakh, who won Wimbledon last year, has reached the third round in Paris with her best showing coming in 2021 when she reached the quarter-finals.

The Kazakh won against Czech qualifier Brenda Fruhvirtova (6-4, 6-2) in the first round.
