AI-generated summary
Why It Matters
Elena Rybakina had already won Wimbledon in 2022 and the Australian Open in January 2023, establishing her presence among the elite of women's tennis.
Elena Rybakina strikes a double blow. The one who will be assured on Monday of seizing the world number 1 place for the first time in her career, signed her first coronation at Flushing Meadows. The 27-year-old Kazakh is enjoying her third major tournament, after Wimbledon in 2022 and the Australian Open in January. In January, she had already dominated Sabalenka in Melbourne. And if the Belarusian still leads in her confrontations with the Kazakh, she loses the most important matches. She had already been a victim of the new queen of the circuit at the end of last season during the Masters final.
