Current World Ranking & Recent Form

Rybakina is world No. 2, a career-high she reached in 2026. Her 2022 Wimbledon title remains her sole major to date, but her serve-and-power game keeps her among the title contenders at every Grand Slam, particularly on faster surfaces. For her current schedule and next opponent, see our Elena Rybakina next match guide.

Playing Style & Strengths

Rybakina’s game is built around one of the biggest serves in women’s tennis and flat, penetrating groundstrokes that take time away from opponents. When serving well she is extremely difficult to break and can overpower any opponent from the baseline.

Her relatively low-error, high-power style is most devastating on quicker courts, though her clean ball-striking travels to clay too. Composure and an even temperament under pressure are part of her edge in big matches.
