Rybakina was quizzed about her relationship with Aryna Sabalenka and a match they played some six years ago. She began answering before stopping herself.<\/p>\n

The Wimbledon winner came from 2-4 down to win the second set and avoid a third set decider.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"No one wants to play three sets and today I was 2-4 down so of course I was trying to focus, point by point," said Rybakina.<\/p>\n

"I just pushed myself \u2013 because as I say, energy-wise, I was not that happy today with myself."<\/p>\n

Rybakina will face Elise Mertens in the third round after she defeated Petra Martic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
