The 25-year-old Belarusian, who is one of the favorites of the tournament, will face another Russian to try to climb into the quarterfinals, Ekaterina Alexandrova (22e), which eliminated Hungary’s Dalma Galfi 6-0, 6-4.
Semi-finalist in 2021, Sabalenka was deprived of a tournament last year, like the other Russian and Belarusian players, due to the war in Ukraine.
