  "textContent": "PARIS: World number one Aryna Sabalenka continued her impressive French Open campaign on Saturday, defeating Australia's Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 7-5 to book her place in the fourth round at Roland Garros.\n\nThe top seed delivered a commanding performance on Court Suzanne Lenglen, restoring a sense of order to the women's draw after a series of major upsets over the previous two days in Paris.\n\nWith top seed Jannik Sinner and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic having exited the tournament in the last 48 hours, Sabalenka ensured there would be no such surprise in her third-round encounter.\n\nThe Belarusian wasted little time asserting her dominance, racing through the opening set without dropping a game.\n\nCombining powerful baseline hitting with sharp net play, Sabalenka won the first five games before recovering from 15-40 down in the sixth game to complete a flawless 6-0 set.\n\nKasatkina, who was born in Russia and began representing Australia last year, showed greater resistance in the second set.\n\nShe broke serve and consolidated the advantage against the run of play, drawing loud chants of \"Aussie, Aussie, Aussie\" from the crowd.\n\nHowever, Sabalenka quickly regained control as an unforced error from Kasatkina allowed the world number one to level the set at 2-2.\n\nThe four-time Grand Slam champion maintained her intensity throughout the remainder of the contest and raised her level in the closing stages to secure victory in straight sets.\n\nThe win marked Sabalenka's eighth triumph in 10 career meetings against Kasatkina and earned her a highly anticipated fourth-round clash with Japan's Naomi Osaka.\n\nSabalenka will now be looking to continue her pursuit of a maiden French Open title as she advances to the last 16 of the clay-court Grand Slam.\n\nThe post Sabalenka overcomes Kasatkina to progress at Roland Garros appeared first on HUM News English.",
