Top Seed Aryna Sabalenka Powers Into French Open Second Round

The world number one, Aryna Sabalenka, participated in the second round of the France Open on Sunday with a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Kamilla Rakhimova in Russia. Sabalenka broke Rakhimova five times when she concluded the victory in an hour to make a convincing start in her Roland Garros campaign. The triple champion of the Grand Chelem, Sabalenka, will face Jil Teichmann in Switzerland or the Italian qualification Lucrezia Stefanini for a place during the last 32. The 27 -year -old Bélarus player has never reached the Paris final, but the tournament seems more open than in recent years given the difficulties of the triple Paris defense champion.
