Elena Rybakina made a sensational start to her WTA Finals campaign on Saturday night, storming past Amanda Anisimova for her first round-robin win of the week, 6-3, 6-1.
And with that victory over the world No. 4 came a pretty nifty stat: Rybakina has now beaten every Top 10 ranking in her career.
No. 4 was the only one missing in her collection.
RYBAKINA'S FIRST CAREER WINS OVER EACH TOP 10 RANKING:
- d. No. 1 Swiatek in '24 Australian Open 4th Rd
- d. No. 2 Jabeur in '22 Wimbledon F
- d. No. 3 Pliskova in '20 Dubai QFs
- d. No. 4 Anisimova in '25 WTA Finals RR
- d. No. 5 Svitolina in '21 Eastbourne 2nd Rd
- d. No. 6 Halep in '19 Wuhan 3rd Rd
- d. No. 7 Garcia in '18 St. Petersburg 2nd Rd
- d. No. 8 Serena in '21 Roland Garros 4th Rd
- d. No. 9 Muguruza in '21 Olympics QFs
- d. No. 10 Badosa in '25 Dubai 3rd Rd
She's actually beaten every Top 15 ranking. She's only missing five from the Top 50—No. 16, No. 25, No. 34, No. 37 and No. 43.
She now has 27 total career wins over Top 10 players.
