We are three months into the season, and Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina have already faced each other three times. Currently, the score stands at 2-1 in favor of the Belarusian. Yet, it was the Kazakh who emerged victorious in the most important encounter of the three. At the Miami Open 2026, Aryna secured the win and later expressed her joy over this captivating rivalry.
“First of all, I must say I am thoroughly enjoying our rivalry. Elena is an incredible player who always pushes me to my limits. Against her, you have to give your absolute best, and today I was able to showcase some great tennis. I believe I did everything right; she played wonderfully, but I kept the pressure on. I am proud of this victory as it's always tough physically and mentally, so I'm glad to secure another win against her,” stated the player from Minsk, who will now face Cori Gauff in the final.
