Rybakina Eyes Strong Finish After Reaching World No. 1
Elena Rybakina began her title defence in Ningbo with a retirement victory over Polina Kudermetova, who withdrew after falling 0-5 behind. The result secured Rybakina's place in the quarterfinals and gave her first win of the Asian swing this year.
The Kazakh recently captured the third Grand Slam title of her career at the US Open, a triumph that also helped her reach world No. 1 for the first time. She will now look to carry that momentum into Ningbo and add another title to her collection.
Rybakina also endured an early exit in Beijing last year before finishing the season with an 11-match winning streak. She won titles in Ningbo and at the WTA Finals, alongside a semifinal appearance in Tokyo, and will hope to reproduce that strong finish this season.
She has reached 11 tour-level quarterfinals this year, winning six of them. Four of her five quarterfinal defeats have come against top-20 opponents, highlighting the quality of the players who have stopped her progress.
