Elena Rybakina needed just 68 minutes to defeat Spain’s Jessica Bouzas 6-2, 6-4 in the second round of the US Open.
The Kazakh, ranked No. 2 in the world, broke Bouzas four times, twice in each set. The Spanish player briefly leveled the second set late on, but Rybakina immediately broke back to secure her place in the next round.
Rybakina is chasing the world No. 1 ranking in New York. She will take the top spot if she reaches the semifinals, regardless of what current leader Aryna Sabalenka does. Sabalenka has held the ranking for 98 weeks.
Bouzas’s exit, on the same night as Paula Badosa’s elimination, leaves Cristina Bucsa as the only Spanish player in the tournament’s third round.
