PARIS: Two years after Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open when she was fined, then threatened with disqualification, for skipping news conferences, another top tennis player — No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka, the Australian Open champion — was allowed to avoid the traditional postmatch session open to all accredited journalists and instead speak Friday with what was described as a “pool” of selected questioners. Sabalenka, who is from Belarus, didn’t appear at a news conference Friday after reaching the fourth round at Roland Garros for the first time with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Kamilla Rakhimova.
Belarusian star Aryna Sabalenka refused to do an official post-match press conference after her French Open match on Friday, claiming she "did not feel safe" when previously questioned about the war in Ukraine.
Aryna Sabalenka’s bid for French Open glory continued on Friday as the second seed made short work of Kamilla Rakhimova in a dominant 6-2 6-2 third-round win. The Australian Open champion needed just 67 minutes on court to wrap up a powerful victory, landing six aces and 27 winners along the way. Ad Sabalenka, who is yet to drop a set at Roland-Garros, will face Sloane Stephens or Yulia Putintseva next.

The second seed is yet to drop a set at Roland-Garros so far after her two wins, and will face Magdalena Frech or Kamilla Rakhimova next in her bid for a second Grand Slam title of the year.
