Kazakhstan's Rybakina climbs to career-high world No. 2
Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina has surged to a career-high second place in the WTA rankings, Qazinform News Agency cites the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The rise came after Rybakina’s run to the final at the WTA 1000 tournament in Indian Wells, United States, where she was defeated by world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus.
Rybakina now has 7,783 ranking points. Aryna Sabalenka tops the rankings with 11,025, while Iga Świątek is third with 7,413.
