A match against Sanders (6:4, 1:6, 6:1) sparked some questions about Rybakina's form at the start of the season. But a World No. 14 player managed to step up in matches against stronger opponents. In the second round she recorded a victory over Bouzkova (6:3, 6:4) in straight sets. In the quarter-final Rybakina needed three sets to beat Shelby Rogers (3:6, 6:3, 6:2).

A quarter-final match against Kaja Juvan was also a long one, a winner was decided on a tiebreak (6:3, 4:6, 7:6). Between these matches Doi also beat Gasanova in straight sets (7:6, 6:3).
