Elena Rybakina to miss Billie Jean King Cup Finals due to injury

Elena Rybakina will not participate in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals next week after sustaining an injury during her recent US Open win. The Kazakhstan Tennis Federation confirmed she will undergo a medical examination in Kazakhstan for an ankle injury initially sustained at the Cincinnati Open. Despite winning the US Open and securing her spot as world number one, Rybakina has been dealing with Achilles tendon issues. She will take two weeks off for treatment and recovery, thereby missing Kazakhstan's tie against Spain on September 23. Rybakina's priority will be to recover fully before returning to training.
