Summary
Elena Rybakina just shattered the U.S. Open stage, dethroning Aryna Sabalenka in a fiery three-set thriller to claim her first Grand Slam title—and the world No. 1 ranking. It’s her second major win over Sabalenka this year, after the Australian Open, ending the Belarusian’s 19-match winning streak at Flushing Meadows. Despite shaky serving, Rybakina outsmarted Sabalenka with relentless returns and break points, even snapping her racket in frustration during the match. The victory nets her $5.5 million—the biggest single prize in tennis history—and brings her to three titles this season, one shy of a career Grand Slam. Sabalenka, though falling short of her historic three-peat bid, remains a force—her dominant season cements her as the next GOAT contender.
