Most of the WTA Roland Garros top seeds are still alive in the main-draw, so it could be safely say the best is yet to come, and an example of this is the confrontation between Elise Mertens and Elena Rybakina, players who promise to have one of the best matches of the third round next Saturday, June 01st not earlier than 04:00 am Central Time, where Elena Rybakina is the favorite to win.
Nonetheless, it’s clear that Elise Mertens had a great start at Roland Garros after defeating María Carle and Petra Martic, both in straight sets and showing an exponential decrease in her unforced errors committed, passing from 46 during the first round to only 10 during her match against Martic, so she will have to try to mantain that great level to increase her chances of defeating Rybakina.
Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina also had a great performance during the first two rounds, where she defeated Greet Minnen and Arantxa Rus in straight sets, but she also was able to be competitive in very prestigious tournaments as the Madrid Masters 1000, where she reached the semifinals, and also winning the WTA 500 in Stuttgart, tournament where she even defeated Swiatek.
