World number four Elena Rybakina racked up her 30th win of the year on Thursday to reach the French Open last 32.

The Wimbledon champion defeated Czech teenager Linda Noskova 6-3, 6-3 and will face Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo for a place in the last 16.

Kazakh fourth seed Rybakina, who could be the new world number one by the end of Roland Garros, converted three of the 10 break points she carved out and fired 30 winners past 18-year-old Noskova.

Only Australian Open champion and world number two Aryna Sabalenka has more wins on tour this year than Rybakina.

The Belarusian player, another contender for the world top ranking, has 31.
