Lead
[edit]- "She has a career-high Women's Tennis Association (WTA) ranking of No. 17 in the world." - world ranking of No. 17.

- "Her first consistent success on the WTA Tour came in the middle of 2019" - mid-2019
- Wikilink serve, backhand and forehand to the relevant articles for non-Tennis readers
Early life and background

- Added WTA profile Sportsfan77777 (talk) 11:16, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- "her father suggested she switch to tennis instead." - The WTA source says this was because he liked the sport so it's something to consider being added

- Clarified "only winning" Sportsfan77777 (talk) 11:24, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Wikilink upset to the relevant sports article, college tennis and match point for those unfamiliar with tennis jargon
- "Rybakina won her first ITF singles title at a $15K event in Kazan, where she also won the doubles event." - repetition of "event"

2019: Maiden WTA title, top 50 debut
