Tennis star Elena Rybakina beat Elina Svitolina 6-4, 6-3, to book her spot in the French Open quarterfinals. Notably, the unforced errors of her Ukrainian opponent showed that the fourth seed was unable to be at her finest every time she played. Speaking about the game here, in the opening two games of the match on Court Philippe-Chatrier, the two exchanged breaks; however, Kazakh world No. 4's sweeping forehand ace put her once again in the lead at 3-2. 

Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina enters her seventh week in a row atop the WTA rankings. Notably, the star player went on to miss the Indian Wells and Italian Open 2024 owing to the injuries. In addition, she was the defending champion of both events and went on to lose 2000 points after missing out on these two events. However, despite that, she still holds the world number four spot owing to her magnificent display in recent weeks.

The Russian-born star was ecstatic after placing herself in the quarterfinal game following her great win over Elina in the fourth round of the Roland Garros 2024, which took place in Rome. The 24-year-old star spoke about the tough times and the battles she had faced against Svitolina in her great career. In addition, the great player talks about her remarkable journey despite missing the Rome Masters 2024 last week.

I’m really proud of the way I’ve improved over the last few years: Elena Rybakina

“Really happy with the performance. Elina is a tough opponent. We’ve played a couple of times and she’s a great fighter, and I’ve had difficult matches against her. I’m really happy with the way I played and served today," Elena Rybakina said after the win.
“We work a lot and we’re always trying to adjust [my] technique. On clay, it’s more complicated for me with the movements as I’m tall, but overall, we’re doing a good job, and I’m really proud of the way I’ve improved over the last few years,” she added further.
