Elena Rybakina returns to action, loses her top-10 spot in WTA rankings for the first time in two years. The Kazakh opted out of the Stuttgart Open 2025, where she triumphed last year.

After reaching the semifinals in Madrid last year, the Kazakh star will be eager to snap her losing streak, but faces a challenging road ahead with a tough draw standing in her way.
