tenisIndonesia.com – World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka continued her strong form on clay after defeating Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets at the Italian Open 2026.
Competing at Foro Italico in Rome, Sabalenka delivered a dominant performance to secure a 6-2, 6-3 victory and book her place in the third round of the tournament.
The Belarusian star looked confident from the start, controlling the match with her aggressive baseline game and powerful serving. Krejcikova struggled to match Sabalenka’s intensity as the top seed dictated most of the rallies throughout the contest.
With the win, Sabalenka strengthened her status as one of the leading title contenders in Rome this year. The 28-year-old has been one of the most consistent players on the WTA Tour this season and once again showed why she remains at the top of the world rankings.
