Rybakin, a native of Moscow, served 5: 4 and 6: 5 to win the match, but in both cases the Czech tennis player took her service and forced a tie-break. In front of him, the favored Rybakin had her wrist treated and subsequently controlled the shortened game unequivocally 7: 3.

For Djokovic, the US Open ended shockingly in the 4th round ten days ago. In the match against the Spaniard Pablo Carreň, after losing the service, he hit the ball behind him while leaving for the bench and hit the line referee.
After returning from New York and switching from hard to clay, the 33-year-old Serb did not hesitate. Ideally, he began preparations for Roland Garros, where he will attack the 18th grand slam title again.
At the beginning of the Roman tournament, Simona Halepová, the number one among the women, defeated the Italian opponent. The Romanian woman won over Jasmine Paolini 6: 3, 6: 4.
