Alexandrova defeated Diana Shnaider with a score of 6-3 and 6-4.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rybakina Advances to Ningbo Tournament Final After Defeating Paolini Tennis player Elena Rybakina, former Wimbledon champion, managed to break a five-month drought by reaching the final of the Ningbo Open, after a remarkable victory over Jasmine Paolini.
