Rybakina Claims U.S. Open & No. 1 Ranking | Dallas News

Elena Rybakina stunned Aryna Sabalenka in a gripping three-set U.S. Open final, claiming her third Grand Slam title and the world No. 1 ranking—breaking Sabalenka’s 19-match winning streak at Flushing Meadows. This victory marks Rybakina’s second win this year over Sabalenka, adding to her Australian Open triumph. With a record $5.5 million payday, she became the first player to earn the most prize money in Grand Slam history. Despite missing her usual ace count, Rybakina dominated with relentless returns, converting three of twelve break points to seal the win. It’s the first time in a top-ranked U.S. Open final that the underdog prevailed. Representing Kazakhstan, Rybakina now eyes the French Open to complete her career Grand Slam, showcasing a powerful game that leaves even the best—including Sabalenka—struggling to keep up on New York’s fast courts.
