Sedemindvajsetletnica bo v ponedeljek na vrhu svetovne lestvice zamenjala prav Sabalenko, ki je ta položaj zasedala 99 tednov zaporedoma.

Ribakina je pred očmi številnih zvezdnikov, med njimi so bili igralec Brad Pitt, pevka Pink in Paris Hilton, slavila zmago na zadnjem turnirju za veliki slam v sezoni.

Sabalenka je storila preveč neizsiljenih napak in ostala brez možnosti, da bi postala šele tretja igralka v zgodovini profesionalnega tenisa s tremi zaporednimi naslovi na OP ZDA. Pred njo je ta dosežek uspel le Američankama Sereni Williams (2012-2014) in Chris Evert (1975-1978). Tudi podpora s tribun, ki sta ji jo nudila nizozemska zvezdnica hitrostnega drsanja Jutta Leerdam in ameriški vplivnež Jake Paul, ni pomagala.

Ribakina je slavila že v finalu odprtega prvenstva Avstralije na začetku teniške sezone. Za kazahstansko igralko, znano po svoji mirni in zadržani drži, je to tretji naslov za grand slam v karieri.
