Elina Svitolina: Elina Svitolina continued her impressive run at the Italian Open 2026 with a commanding straight-sets victory over Hailey Baptiste to book her place in the fourth round in Rome on Sunday.

The two-time Rome champion needed just one hour and seven minutes to secure a clinical win as she produced one of her sharpest displays of the tournament so far at the Foro Italico.

Svitolina controlled the contest from the baseline and barely allowed Baptiste any rhythm throughout the match. The Ukrainian struck 11 winners while committing only four unforced errors in a highly disciplined performance.
