Elena Rybakina Stuns Aryna Sabalenka to Claim U.S. Open Title and World No. 1 Ranking
Rybakina won her third Grand Slam title and ended Sabalenka’s 99-week run atop the WTA rankings.
- On Saturday, Elena Rybakina defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 at Arthur Ashe Stadium to claim her first U.S. Open title and third career Grand Slam championship.
- This victory ends Sabalenka's 99-week reign atop the WTA Tour rankings. Rybakina will officially replace her as world No. 1 on Monday, marking the first time the Kazakhstani player reaches the sport's top position.
- Rybakina earned $5.5 million, the largest prize in Grand Slam history, after edging Sabalenka 12-6 in aces. She closed the match with a 110-mph ace and committed 24 unforced errors compared to Sabalenka's 35.
- Sabalenka's loss denied her a rare New York 'three-peat,' a feat achieved only by Chris Evert and Serena Williams in the Open Era. Visibly frustrated, she smashed her racket after the match.
- This 18th career meeting underscores intense competitive parity between the pair, whom coach Max Mirnyi called the 'two best players' in women's tennis. Their dominance signals a defining rivalry for the sport's remaining events.
