Elena Rybakina Defeats Naomi Osaka to Reach US Open Quarter-Finals, Nears World No. 1
Elena Rybakina defeated former U.S. Open champion Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals at the 2026 U.S. Open, moving one win away from becoming world number one. Rybakina, who won Wimbledon in 2022 and the Australian Open earlier this year, will face Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen, who upset Iga Swiatek. Osaka, seeded 13th, was hampered by an Achilles injury sustained in the previous round, affecting her performance.
