Alexandra Eala vs Elena Rybakina 2026 Rome Round 3 WTA Match Highlights

And Rybakina secures the hole for one all. You saw Iala with her fifth winner, that's the fifth for Rybakina. Excellent control off that pace. Rybakina might feel as if she's gotten a bead on Alex Iala. Serving up a break, opening set. Iala comes out swinging, feisty. She really loves that shot forehand down the line. And in two sets against Wong-Sin Yu. She's going after it. And it takes an extra minute. 51 to be exact. Alex Iala came to play in the Rome third round contest with Lynn Rybakina. Who says with a racket, challenge accepted. Opening set goes the way of the 2023 champion. 6-4. Excellent footwork from Rybakina. Just watching her feet throughout that entire... Starting to feel a little bit more comfortable with the movement, with the ankle surgery that she had. It's good to see her back. She did a great job to turn that point around. And the winning ways of Ilana Rybakina in 2026 continue. Stampin, win number 29 on the year. A straight sets victory in her first ever encounter.
