Elena Rybakina kicks off milestone 100th consecutive week in Top 10 of WTA rankings

As if there isn’t already enough to celebrate this week, one of the top women’s players in the world hits a big career milestone.

It’s Elena Rybakina’s 100th career week in the Top 10.

And it’s all consecutive, as well—since first breaking into the elite on January 30th, 2023 after reaching the Australian Open final, she hasn’t dropped out, not even for one week.

It’s the fifth-longest active Top 10 streak on the women’s tour.

LONGEST ACTIVE STREAKS IN CURRENT WTA TOP 10:
215 weeks: Aryna Sabalenka [since November 16th, 2020]
165 weeks: Iga Swiatek [since November 1st, 2021]
134 weeks: Jessica Pegula [since June 6th, 2022]
120 weeks: Coco Gauff [since September 12th, 2022]
100 weeks: Elena Rybakina [since January 30th, 2023]
48 weeks: Zheng Qinwen [since January 29th, 2024]
29 weeks: Jasmine Paolini [since June 10th, 2024]
16 weeks: Emma Navarro [since September 9th, 2024]
10 weeks: Daria Kasatkina [since October 21st, 2024]
7 weeks: Barbora Krejcikova [since November 11th, 2024]

It’s worth noting that had there been ranking points at Wimbledon in 2022, where Rybakina won her first Grand Slam title, she would have made her Top 10 debut then—in July of 2022—as opposed to in January of 2023, after reaching her second Grand Slam final at the Australian Open.

Rybakina has spent more than three quarters of these 100 weeks in the Top 10—77 of them, to be exact—in the Top 5. That includes 11 career weeks at a career-high of No. 3, which she first reached on June 12th, 2023, after the conclusion of Roland Garros.

RYBAKINA’S CAREER TOP 10 WEEKS BY RANKING:
No. 1: 0 weeks
No. 2: 0 weeks
No. 3: 11 weeks
No. 4: 54 weeks
No. 5: 12 weeks
No. 6: 9 weeks
No. 7: 7 weeks
No. 8: 0 weeks
No. 9: 0 weeks
No. 10: 7 weeks

With new coach and fellow Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic in her corner, Rybakina will kick off her 2025 season at United Cup, which actually begins later this week.
