Rybakina won her maiden US Open title to bag a massive cheque of $5 million
Elena Rybakina capped off her sensational campaign at US Open 2026 by dethroning the two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in a three-setter epic. The Kazakh played some of the best tennis of her life to beat a formidable lineup of players on her way to the title.
Now also the new World No. 1 for the first time in her life, Rybakina’s heroics in Flushing Meadows will be remembered for a long time. Unfortunately, Sabalenka suffered yet another Grand Slam final defeat, and finishes 2026 without a Major title.
