Since October 10, 2025, Elena Rybakina had not lost a tennis match. She lost in the quarterfinals of Wuhan against Aryna Sabalenka; since then, thirteen victories in thirteen matches. Today, the Kazakh player met this travel companion again in the quarterfinals of the WTA 500 in Brisbane, where a strong Karolina Muchova halted her in three sets (6-2, 2-6, 6-4).

“It's not the result I wanted, but luckily, now I have time to work on some things. In my last two matches, I struggled a lot with my serve, the movement wasn't the best, everything needs to come together. I also need to improve my starts in the matches, there I should serve better, especially in percentage. I have to focus on the positives and not make the same mistakes again,” stated the Kazakh player after the match.
