Description

Elena Andreyevna Rybakina (born 17 June 1999) is a Russian-born Kazakhstani professional tennis player. She will be ranked No. 1 in WTA singles, starting on 14 September 2026. Rybakina has won 14 WTA Tour-level singles titles, including three majors at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, the 2026 Australian Open, and the 2026 US Open, as well as the 2025 WTA Finals and two WTA 1000 events. Rybakina is the first Kazakhstani player to win a major and to be ranked world No. 1 and in the world's top 10.

A former junior world No. 3, Rybakina started her career competing for Russia before switching federations to Kazakhstan in 2018. She broke through in 2020 when she played in five tour finals, the most of any player that year. Rybakina won her first major title in 2022 at Wimbledon, before reaching the 2023 Australian Open final. At the end of 2025, Rybakina won the WTA Finals, followed by the 2026 Australian Open, and shortly after rose to a career-high ranking of world No. 2. She won her third major at the 2026 US Open and as a result became the world No. 1 player for the first time in her career.

Rybakina is noted for her excellent serve and ability to generate high-powered groundstrokes. She plays primarily from the baseline. She is known for her calm demeanour on court, and is often referred to with the nickname "Ice Queen".
