Elena Rybakina eyes Career Grand Slam after 2026 US Open title win

Elena Rybakina secured her third career Grand Slam title at the 2026 US Open by defeating Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. With this victory added to her previous wins at Wimbledon in 2022 and the Australian Open earlier this year, Rybakina needs only a French Open title to complete a Career Grand Slam. The French Open has historically proved difficult for the player, who has never advanced beyond the quarter-finals in eight main draw appearances. Despite this record, she has demonstrated success on clay courts, including a victory at the 2023 Italian Open. She aims to reach this milestone at the tournament next year, potentially joining seven other women who have achieved the feat during the Open Era.
