Join our writers as the fourth-round action continues with Elina Svitolina against Elena Rybakina and Alex de Minaur facing Daniil Medvedev
A hold from Svitolina and then she’s straight at Rybakina in the next game, as she gets to 0-15 with some good hustling. Rybakina then double faults for 0-30. Rybakina’s pace trumps Svitolina’s running in the next two points, 30-all. But here’s another break point. A cross-court backhand battle ensues, deuce. And from there Rybakina holds.Sviotlina is showing here what she’s best at as she scampers around the court to get to the short ball – she’s supremely fit and her movement is so good.
Also in action on that court is Casper Ruud, the runner-up for the past two years, against Taylor Fritz, while we’re guaranteed two first-time grand slam women’s quarter-finalists as Elina Avanesyan faces Jasmine Paolini and Mirra Andreeva plays Varvara Gracheva, the only French hope left in the singles.
