Elena Rybakina did not surprise anyone with her subdued celebration upon winning the 2026 Australian Open against Aryna Sabalenka. The Kazakh player simply clenched her fist and smiled very shyly in the moments following her victory, embracing her team and closest people with great timidity, something that does not fail to attract attention.
Although it may not seem like it due to the lack of exuberance, Rybakina has won a Grand Slam.

Elena Rybakina causes terror among the world's best tennis players, as evidenced by her status as the player with the best winning percentage against the world number 1 in the history of women's tennis. Her victory over Aryna Sabalenka at the 2026 Australian Open propels her to a 60% win rate in her matches against the world's top player at that time, surpassing the records of Serena, Graf, and Davenport.
60% - Elena Rybakina is now the player with the highest winning percentage against the World No. 1 since the WTA Rankings were firstly published in 1975 (60.0%, 9-6) - min. 10 meetings. Unreal.#AusOpen | @AustralianOpen @WTA pic.twitter.com/4DkRordzjQ
