Playing against world No. 152 Ruse, No. 4 seed Rybakina actually struggled a bit at the beginning and the Romanian used that to open a 3-1 lead.
But Rybakina made those early issues disappear quickly after impressively winning the next eight games to go from being down to having a very comfortable 6-3 4-0 lead.
In the fifth game, Ruse finally held on to one of her service games but it didn’t change much because the Kazakh sealed the twin two games later after clinching her fifth break of the match.
