Rybakina beats Bouzas Maneiro 6-2 6-4 to reach US Open third round

Elena Rybakina moved into the third round at the US Open with a controlled 6-2 6-4 win over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. The first delivery was the difference: Rybakina landed 66.7% of her first serves and won 81.6% of those points, striking seven aces, while the Spaniard managed no aces and won just 61.8% behind her own first ball. Rybakina's second serve was the one vulnerable area, yielding only 31.6% of points and four double faults, but Bouzas Maneiro could not exploit it often enough. A clean straight-sets afternoon keeps the Kazakh's campaign on track.
