Elena Rybakina has been the big surprise of the week in Riyadh. The Kazakh player had already shown a high level of tennis on multiple previous occasions, but this week at the WTA Finals 2025, she made a statement demonstrating a great level of consistency against the best players in the world.

"It's been an incredible week. Honestly, I had no expectations, I didn't expect to go this far. It's just amazing," said Elena Rybakina at the trophy presentation. "I also want to congratulate Aryna for finishing her second consecutive year as the world number one, it's a spectacular achievement."

"Today was a tremendous battle. I was lucky in some moments, but that's tennis. I hope we can play many great finals together in major tournaments in the future. Thanks also to the crowd, it's been a pleasure to play here, the atmosphere is spectacular."

Elena Rybakina's words to Stefano Vukov and his team

"I would also like to thank my team: Stefano for always pushing me to my limits, for helping me improve, my physio Stefan, for trying to keep me healthy, and everyone for always being there, supporting me."

"I didn't think about how the match would go, I just tried to stay solid from start to finish, which is very difficult against Aryna. It's not easy when she has a good day with her serve, it was very close. I tried to stay strong, fight for every ball. I'm happy it went my way, I don't know what would have happened if it had gone to a third set. I gave everything physically and mentally to stay focused."

"The start of this season wasn't great, but finishing it this way is amazing. The serve helped me a lot in this tournament, I served incredibly in the toughest moments. It's one of my greatest achievements, playing at this level from start to finish against the best players."
