Elena Rybakina is set to move to the top of the world rankings after the US Open, but she will be attempt to celebrate that milestone by winning a second Grand Slam in 2026. The 27-year-old will be playing in her first US Open semi-final this week, but she has oozed class throughout the major, eliminating Naomi Osaka and Yulila Starodubtseva in straight sets.

Like Gauff, Rybakina needed to show her powers of recovery in the previous round, fighting back from a set down to overcome Qinwen Zheng. She was excellent on serve, winning 80% of the points on first serve and 75% of the points on second serve. Rybakina also limited her opponent to just four break point opportunities.

Head-to-Head Record

This is only the third meeting between Rybakina and Gauff, which is slightly surprising given their spots at the top of the WTA ratings. Gauff won the first meeting in 2022, but Rybakina won a three-set thriller against her American rival in the semi-finals of the recent WTA Tour event in Canada.
