Elena Rybakina Becomes World No. 1 After Historic US Open 2026 Run
Elena Rybakina has become the first Kazakh world No. 1 after her US Open 2026 run. The 26-year-old star is also drawing attention for her beauty, calm style and powerful tennis.
Rybakina has also become a major sensation on the internet because of her height, sharp features and striking beauty, with fans comparing her with former Russian tennis great and glamour star Maria Sharapova.
Standing 6 feet tall, Rybakina is regarded as one of the most attractive personalities on the tennis court. Alongside her glamorous appearance, she is known for her calm temperament. While other players are often seen under pressure on court, Rybakina’s smiling, composed demeanour and graceful body language have won over fans. Her fashion, simplicity and athletic style are receiving widespread appreciation on social media, where fans affectionately call her the “Queen of Kazakhstan.”
Rybakina’s tennis career has already been filled with major achievements. In 2022, she stunned the tennis world by winning her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. In 2026, she also won the Australian Open title. In addition, she lifted the WTA Finals trophy in 2025, the biggest annual tournament of the year, underlining her consistent performances.
Alongside her appearance, Rybakina’s game is highly aggressive. She is known across the women’s tennis circuit for her extremely fast, dangerous and powerful serve. Her strong baseline game and exceptional fitness are enough to put any opponent under pressure. It is this attacking style of play that has helped her defeat several leading players in world tennis.
Born on June 17, 1999, in Moscow, Rybakina represented Russia during the early stages of her career. However, in 2018, after receiving strong training and support from the Kazakhstan Tennis Federation, she adopted Kazakh citizenship. Representing Kazakhstan, she has now reached the highest position in world tennis, becoming the world No. 1 player and the first Kazakh to achieve the feat.
