Elena Rybakina won her first US Open title by defeating Aryna Sabalenka in the final held in New York. The Kazakh player prevailed with scores of 6-4, 5-7, and 6-2 in an evenly matched and competitive encounter.

With this victory, Rybakina rose to first place in the WTA world rankings, becoming the new world number one. This is a significant milestone in the career of the young 24-year-old tennis player.
