Elena Rybakina claimed her biggest title since Wimbledon 2022 by winning the WTA Finals against Worls No.1 Aryna Sabalenka.
The Kazakhstani produced an impressive performance to win the contest in straight sets 6-3 7-6 (7-0). The victory was a continuation of Rybakina’s recent resurgence after she extended her unbeaten streak to five matches. She now moves up to No.5 in the world rankings.
Sabalenka was tearful after her defeat. However 2025 has been a special year for her which culminated with a grand slam victory at the US Open.
