The 2025 Elena Rybakina tennis season officially began on 27 December 2024, with the start of the United Cup in Perth & Sydney, and concluded on 8 November 2025 with a victory in the championship match of the WTA Finals.

Yearly summary

Rybakina began her season at the 2025 United Cup. She then played in the Australian Open, before losing to eventual champion Madison Keys in the fourth round.[2] At the 2025 Dubai Tennis Championships Rybakina reached back-to-back-to-back tour-level quarterfinals defeating world No. 10, Paula Badosa, after saving six match points.[3][4] Next, she defeated Sofia Kenin to reach her second semifinal in the Middle East swing (first was in Abu Dhabi) and ninth overall at the WTA 1000-level.[5] She lost to 12th seed Mirra Andreeva in three sets.[6] At Indian Wells, she defeated Suzan Lamens in the second round and Katie Boulter in the third round before losing again to Andreeva in the fourth round, this time in straight sets.[7][8][9] Having reached the finals the year prior, Rybakina entered the 2025 Miami Open seeded seventh, and lost to Ashlyn Krueger in three sets in the second round.[10] Defending 500 points from her win in Stuttgart the previous year, she instead opted to play in the qualifiers for the 2025 Billie Jean King Cup and dropped to No. 11 in the rankings on 21 April 2025.[11][12]

At the Madrid Open, Rybakina defeated Bianca Andreescu in the second round before losing to No. 17 seed Elina Svitolina in the third round.[13] However, at the 2025 Italian Open, she defeated Eva Lys in the second round before losing to Andreescu in the third round.[14][15] As a last minute entry into the Internationaux de Strasbourg, Rybakina defeated Wang Xinyu, Magda Linette, and No. 9 seed Beatriz Haddad Maia to reach her first final since April 2024.[16][17] In the final, she defeated eighth seed Liudmila Samsonova in three sets to capture her first title in over a year.[18] Seeded 12th, Rybakina then reached the fourth round of the 2025 French Open, before losing to Iga Świątek in three sets.[19]

Rybakina began her grass season at the WTA 500-level Queen's Club Championships, where she lost in the quarterfinals to the eventual champion, Tatjana Maria.[20] She then reached the quarterfinals of the 2025 Berlin Open, where she lost to Aryna Sabalenka in three sets, despite having four match points.[21] Having reached the semifinals in 2024, Rybakina lost to Clara Tauson in the third round of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships.[22][23]

In July, Rybakina played in the WTA 500-level 2025 DC Open, reaching the semifinals before losing to eventual champion Leylah Fernandez in a grueling match that lasted over three hours and featured three tiebreaks.[24] She then played in the 2025 National Bank Open in Montreal, Canada, where she again reached the semifinals before losing to wildcard and eventual champion, Victoria Mboko.[25][26] At the 2025 Cincinnati Open, she defeated world No. 6 Madison Keys in the fourth round, recording her first win against a top-10 player since February.[27] She then defeated world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals, marking her 7th win over a world No. 1 player, before losing in the semifinals to No. 2 seed and eventual champion, Iga Swiatek.[28][29][30] Seeded 9th at the 2025 US Open, Rybakina defeated sixteen-year-old wildcard Julieta Pareja, qualifier Tereza Valentová, and doubles partner and former champion Emma Raducanu to reach the fourth round for the first time in her career, where she lost to 2023 Wimbledon Champion Markéta Vondroušová.[31][32][33][34]

At the WTA 1000-level China Open in September, Rybakina had a first round bye, then defeated Caty McNally in the second round before losing to German player Eva Lys in round three.[35][36][37] A few weeks later, at the 1000-level Wuhan Open, Rybakina again had a first round bye, and defeated Jaqueline Cristian and Linda Nosková, before losing in straight sets to Aryna Sabalenka in the quarterfinals.[38]

Aiming to qualify for the WTA finals, Rybakina defeated Dayana Yastremska, qualifier Ajla Tomljanović, No. 2 seed Jasmine Paolini, and No. 4 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova at the 500-level Ningbo Open to earn her second title of the year and tenth overall.[39][40][41] She then entered the 500-level Pan Pacific Open, defeating Leylah Fernandez and Victoria Mboko en route to securing the last remaining spot for the 2025 WTA Finals for the third straight year, before withdrawing from the Tokyo tournament.[42][43][44]

In November, at the WTA Finals in Riyadh, despite being the last player to qualify, Rybakina topped 4th-seeded Amanda Anisimova, No. 2 Iga Świątek, and second alternate Ekaterina Alexandrova to reach the semi-finals, going on to defeat 5th seed Jessica Pegula.[45][46] In the final, she upset world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka to capture the WTA Finals crown, and extend her 11-match win streak. As a result of her undefeated victory, Rybakina earned a record-breaking $5.235 million in prize money, and finished the season as the world no. 5.[47]
