During the match, Rybakina connected 10 aces, although she also had to defend seven break points against Paolini, who was the second seed of the tournament.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I knew the match would be very tough. Jasmine has played very well this season. She is a very difficult opponent, and I knew I would have to give my best. I am happy that I stayed focused until the end and won in straight sets.<\/p><cite>Elena Rybakina<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAfter failing to advance in the semifinals of the Citi Open, the Canadian Open, and the Cincinnati Masters in recent months, Rybakina will seek to add the Ningbo Open title to her list of achievements, thus adding another trophy to the WTA 500 she won on clay in Strasbourg on May 24.\n\nThis victory keeps Rybakina&#8217;s hopes alive of participating in the season-ending WTA Finals, after Paolini lost the opportunity to secure her place in the Turin tournament on Saturday.\n\nIn the final, Rybakina will face Ekaterina Alexandrova, who achieved her best ranking in the top 10 of her career, after defeating Diana Shnaider with a score of 6-3, 6-4.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rybakina Advances to Ningbo Open Final After Defeating Paolini The tennis player Elena Rybakina, former Wimbledon champion, has managed to break her streak of five months without reaching a final, after a notable victory over Jasmine Paolini at the Ningbo Open.
