AdvertisementDue to an upper respiratory illness, world number 4 Elena Rybakina pulled out from her third-round match in the women’s singles draw of the 2023 French Open against Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo on Saturday. The statement came only moments before the reigning Wimbledon champion took the court on Saturday. Prior to travelling to London to defend her Wimbledon championship, Rybakina will participate in Berlin and Eastbourne during the grasscourt season. With Rybakina out, Sorribes Tormo advances to the round of 16 through walkover for the first time in her Grand Slam career. She will take on the person who wins the match between Beatriz Haddad Maia and Ekaterina Alexandrova.
