Rybakina gives herself reasons to dream of the number 1 in the WTA ranking

Elena Rybakina makes a spectacular leap in the WTA ranking with her victory in the 2026 Australian Open, matching the best record of her professional career by returning to the third position in the rankings. The Kazakh leaves Melbourne just 368 points behind Iga Swiatek at world number 2, giving herself reasons to dream of fighting for the number 1 in the coming months, currently held by Aryna Sabalenka. She is still 3,380 points behind the Belarusian, but she does not have to defend too many points in the upcoming months, so if she continues playing at this level, she could narrow the gap.
