The world number three will now play Magda Linette in the third round in Rome. Earlier the current world number one Aryna Sabalenka swept past Russia’s Anastasia Potapova 6-2, 6-2 in just over an hour. Sabalenka will play Sofia Kenin in the next round after the American beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0. The 27-year-old Sabalenka has reached the final of her last four tournaments, winning both in Madrid and Miami.
