Beating Brenda Fruhvirtova in the first round of Roland Garros, the world No.4 Rybakina debuted her new Yonex gear: the Yonex Women’s Paris Tank, a V-neck design that catches the eye with its contrast rib-knit collar and binding on the armholes, and the navy version of the Yonex Women’s Paris Skirt, boasting box pleats all around and a built-in shortie for added convenience.
