Elena Rybakina advances at the US Open, reaching the last eight without dropping a set. Reports note she arrives in New York having not played since retiring from her Cincinnati Open quarter-final against Iga Swiatek last month, and then rebounds to win her US Open matches in straight sets.
The outlets also frame the run as part of a broader ranking picture. By performing strongly in New York, Rybakina moves closer to the top spot in the women’s singles rankings, with the possibility of reclaiming the No. 1 ranking depending on how results elsewhere unfold. While one report focuses primarily on her form and recovery after Cincinnati, both describe the same central storyline: her return from a mid-tournament retirement and a successful, unbroken US Open campaign so far.
