Elena Rybakina has played amazing tennis lately. Can she overthrow Sabalenka for the WTA Top Spot?
! youtube.com/@tennisandbagelspodcast
Hear me out: Elena Rybakina could end the year as World No.1.
Why? She has been playing the best tennis of her life in the past few months, has probably the best serve and forehand of the tour, can play well on all surfaces, and is capable of winning against Aryna Sabalanka anywhere, any day. And that's exactly what she's done lately.
Up to World No. 2 from down to No.12 at the Canadian Open 2025, Rybakina's level has soared, and even Sabalenka has been struggling against her. The Indian Wells final may have turned against her favour, but she had a match point, and Sabalenka needed to produce some of the most clutch tennis shots she can to win that match.
That being said, it's still an uphill battle. Sabalenka is so good so often that, to have a chance, Rybakina needs to match the intensity and win matches constantly. No first or second-round losses. Only quarter-finals and up.
And she still needs to truly prove herself on clay.
Can Elena Rybakina become the new WTA World No.1? I believe so.
