Elena Rybakina has earned the right to enjoy a few days of the great work accomplished, which has culminated in her third Grand Slam title at the US Open 2026 and her rise to number 1 in the world. The Kazakh participated in the traditional New York photo shoot as the champion at Flushing Meadows, and she did so not only with the US Open champion trophy but also with the number 1 in the WTA ranking.

After thanking everyone for their support on her "amazing journey that hopefully is just the beginning," Rybakina did a photo shoot that has gone viral. The presence of the Kazakh tennis player has captivated fans worldwide, aware of how important everything she does from now on is as the leading representative of women's tennis, characterized by her introverted nature, utmost respect and courtesy, and tendency to go unnoticed wherever she goes.

Additionally, Rybakina announced that, to the surprise of many, she will participate in the WTA 500 Ningbo 2026, which will be held immediately after the two remaining WTA 1000 tournaments in Beijing and Wuhan. Therefore, the Kazakh is ready to push herself to the limit to maintain the number 1 spot in the WTA ranking until the end of the year, although Aryna Sabalenka will surely make it difficult. Intense and demanding months lie ahead for the new great dominator of world tennis, Elena Rybakina.
