Rybakina Makes Quick Work of Raducanu in US Open Third Round

Rybakina and Raducanu kicked off the schedule at Louis Armstrong Stadium.

While the matchup seemed intriguing on paper, it didn't take long for the Kazakh player to settle the debate in just over an hour of play (6-1, 6-2).

Overwhelmed by the power and pace dictated by her opponent, Raducanu struggled to find her footing in the match. Despite her recent good form, the challenge proved too steep for the British number one.

On the other hand, the ninth seed confirmed her status, not conceding a single break point and posting an impressive rate of points won behind her first serve (86%).

Having secured her spot in the round of 16, she now awaits the result of the Paolini-Vondrousova match to learn her next opponent.
