NINGBO, China — In an electrifying performance, Elena Rybakina rallied from a set down to claim victory over Ekaterina Alexandrova with scores of 3-6, 6-0, 6-2 in the final of the Ningbo Open on Sunday.
Despite a sluggish start that saw the third-seeded Rybakina trail 4-1 in the first set, she swiftly turned the tide in the next, delivering an impressive display that showcased her powerful serve, highlighted by a remarkable 11 aces.
This triumph marks Rybakina’s second title of the season, adding to her previous win in Strasbourg, and elevates her total career titles to ten.
With her recent surge in performance, Rybakina is firmly in the mix for a coveted spot at the season-ending WTA Finals in Riyadh this November.
