The 2024 Elena Rybakina tennis season officially began on 31 December 2023, with the start of the Brisbane International in Brisbane.

Yearly summary

[edit]

Rybakina started her 2024 season by winning the Brisbane International final against Aryna Sabalenka,[2] before going out in the second-round at the Australian Open to Anna Blinkova in a match that featured the longest tie-break in Grand Slam history.[3][4]

She won the Abu Dhabi Open in February, beating Daria Kasatkina in the final.[5] Rybakina secured her third title of the season in April at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, beating two-time defending champion Iga Swiatek in the semifinals,[6] and then Marta Kostyuk in straight sets in the final.[7] She made it through to the quarter-finals at the French Open, before losing to eventual runner-up Jasmine Paolini.[8]

Moving onto the grass-court swing of the year, Rybakina retired due to illness during her quarter-final against Victoria Azarenka at the Berlin Ladies Open[9] and then withdrew from the following week's Eastbourne International.[10] At Wimbledon she steamrollered former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in just 57 minutes and for the loss of only one game in the third-round[11] before winning her round four match when opponent Anna Kalinskaya retired injured in the second set.[12] Rybakina defeated Elina Svitolina in the quarter-finals[13] but lost to Barbora Krejčíková in the semi-finals.[14]

Rybakina withdrew from the Paris Olympics two days before it got underway due to acute bronchitis.[15] She defeated qualifier Destanee Aiava in the first round at the US Open[16] but then withdrew from the tournament due to unspecified injuries.[17] On 23 September, Rybakina announced she would miss the entire Asian swing of the season due to a back injury.[18]

Rybakina played her first match since August at the WTA Finals in November, losing her opening group contest to Jasmine Paolini in straight sets.[19] She lost her second group match in three sets to Zheng Qinwen.[20] Despite defeating world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in her final group match, Rybakina failed to reach the semifinals.[21]
