Rybakina in the World Tennis League

The tournament features four mixed teams with two women and two men. This year, the Kazakh player is part of the Falcons team alongside Taylor Fritz, Sumit Nagal, and Sorana Cirstea. In the first round, Rybakina played women's doubles with the Romanian, and they defeated Caroline Garcia and Iga Swiatek from the Hawks team.

In the singles match, she fell 4-6 against the Polish world No. 1. In a format that considers the games each team wins, after the match, the teams were tied at 24-24. Consequently, Rybakina played a decisive tie-break against Swiatek, and this time Rybakina emerged victorious (10-8), securing the win for her team.

The second day against the Falcons was not as positive. Once again, she played women's doubles and they got the victory against Paula Badosa and Sabalenka. Then, in the women's singles, she lost against the Belarusian, leading to a decisive tie-break for the second consecutive day. However, this time Rybakina couldn't secure the victory, and the series ended in favor of their opponents.

Rybakina's 2024 Schedule

World No. 4 has her early-year schedule defined, and just like in 2023, she will play two preparation tournaments before heading to the first Grand Slam of the year, the Australian Open. First, she will compete in the WTA 500 Brisbane International starting on January 1, where she is the second seed after Aryna Sabalenka.

Then, she will travel to Adelaide and be the top seed in a tough main draw featuring nine top-15 players. Afterward, she will head to Melbourne for the Aussie Open, where she defends a significant number of points after reaching the final in 2023 (a loss against Sabalenka).
