Rybakina Begins Wimbledon Campaign With Dominant First-round Victory
All England Club: Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, launched her 2024 campaign at the All England Club with a commanding 6-3, 6-1 victory over Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the first round on Tuesday.
Rybakina needed just 1 hour and 11 minutes to dispatch Romania's Ruse, who is currently ranked No.152.
Rybakina had previously bested Ruse in straight sets at the 2022 Miami Open, and this latest encounter followed a similar script despite a strong start from the Romanian. Ruse, who has achieved a career-high ranking of World No.51 and clinched a WTA singles title in Hamburg in 2021, entered the match in fine form, having not dropped a set in her three qualifying matches.
