World No.3 Elena Rybakina continued her blistering run as she extended her winning streak to six matches with a 6-3, 7-5 win over lucky loser Cristina Bucsa in the Round of 16 of the Adelaide International on Wednesday.

The World No.3 had to pass her most difficult test of the season thus far. She had only lost 15 games in her five Brisbane matches combined, and none of her opponents had held her for more than 73 minutes. Bucsa, on the other hand, played toe-to-toe with Rybakina for an hour and 30 minutes, and only the former Wimbledon champion`s clutch play on crucial points allowed her to emerge victorious in a match that was on the verge of turning against her.
