Rybakina new world number one after reaching US Open semifinals
Jelena Rybakina has reached the US Open semifinals for the first time after defeating Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. As a result, the second seed will become the world number one starting Monday. Zheng, who was ranked fourth a year ago, has dropped in the rankings due to an elbow injury and had to play qualifiers in New York. Rybakina lost the first set but improved her serve and reduced errors. She will face the winner of Coco Gauff vs. Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals. Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula contest the other semifinal.
