I don't remember Elena Rybakina hitting 10 double faults in a match, but that's the challenge she had to overcome early this morning in her comeback at the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati against Elise Mertens (4-6, 6-3, 7-5). It took the Kazakh player some time, a total of 2 hours and 12 minutes, but she finally secured the victory, reinforcing the fighting spirit she has been building this summer. In the round of 16, she will face Madison Keys, a similar type of player, who had a completely different match against the Japanese player Ito (6-4, 6-0). It will undoubtedly be one of the great matches on Thursday.
