Elena Rybakina closes in on year-end world No. 1

Original: elena rybakina

Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina has extended her lead at the top of the WTA rankings and is chasing a historic year-end world No. 1 finish. At the Ningbo Open she advanced to the quarter-finals after Polina Kudermetova retired, setting up a meeting with Katarzyna Kawa, with a possible clash against Diana Shnaider later in the draw. Post-Wuhan power rankings place her firmly first as the season finale approaches.

Why now: Rybakina is competing at the Ningbo Open while leading the WTA race, putting a first year-end No. 1 finish within reach.
