Elena Rybakina has clinched the US Open title, stunning Aryna Sabalenka in a remarkable comeback after injury concerns. The Kazakh star secured her second major win of 2026 despite arriving in New York with doubts over her fitness.
Rybakina’s powerful play overcame an ankle injury sustained at the Cincinnati Open. This victory is particularly significant given her previous struggles at the US Open, where she had never advanced past the fourth round before this year.
