Summary
Elena Rybakina just claimed her first U.S. Open title with a dramatic three-set win over Aryna Sabalenka, dethroning the top-ranked player and ascending to world No. 1 next week. Despite battling injuries, Rybakina’s relentless return game—creating 12 break points and converting 3—proved decisive in this clash of titans. The victory not only snapped Sabalenka’s 19-match U.S. Open winning streak but also cemented Rybakina’s status as a Grand Slam powerhouse, now needing only the French Open to complete her career slam. With a record-breaking $5.5 million payday, Rybakina’s poise under pressure and growing love for New York make her a force to watch—and a new era in women’s tennis has begun.
