Kazakhstan’s tennis star Elena Rybakina has achieved yet another milestone after her recent success in the China Open.
The 24-year-old booked her place in the semifinal of the competition after beating the current world number one Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka in the last-eight clash in straight sets with a score of 7-5, 6-2.
While doing so, Rybakina became the first player since Belinda Bencic to win four consecutive matches against the top-ranked WTA player.
The 26-year-old achieved that feat between the 2015 WTA event in Toronto, Canada, and the 2019 US Open.
Rybakina is now set to face off against Russia’s Liudmila Samsonova in the semifinal of the competition on Saturday.
The current world number five will be hoping to seal the title that would definitely cheer her up after a disappointing outing in the recently concluded US Open where she was defeated in the third round to Sorana Cirstea with a score of 6-3, 6-7, 6-4.
