The Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka entered the round of 16 of the WTA 1,000 in Rome this Sunday after defeating Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska in the third round, whom she easily defeated in 2 sets (6-4 and 6-2).
After a storm in the second round, where she had to suffer to overcome the American Katie Volynets in a match (4-6, 6-3 and 6-1) that lasted almost 2 and a half hours, calm came for Sabalenka.
The world number 2, favorite with the Polish Iga Swiatek to be crowned in Rome, had a peaceful duel against the number 33, who could do little to stop an accurate and intense Sabalenka, who this time had no problem entering in the game and dominate it.
She had to save two break points, but she broke Yastremska to win the first set and put herself on course for a well-deserved victory that closed out the second set. He was broken twice and swept to enter the round of 16, where She will face the winner of the match between Russian Anna Kalinskaya (26) and Ukrainian Elena Svitolina (19).
