Kazakh star Elena Rybakina demonstrated her prowess on clay as she convincingly dispatched former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko, winning 6-2 6-2 to advance to the French Open's fourth round.
Rybakina, arriving at Roland Garros on the back of her Strasbourg Open victory, showed no intimidation from Ostapenko's aggressive play. She sealed her triumph with a forehand winner, navigating the challenging conditions with a strong serve.
