Elena Rybakina showed her class at the US Open, sweeping aside two‑time champion Naomi Osaka to reach the quarter‑finals.
Rybakina was strong from the start, hitting powerful serves and clean winners that kept Osaka on the back foot. Every time Osaka tried to fight back, Rybakina found another big shot to take control.
The straight‑sets win means Rybakina is now very close to becoming the world number one. Her calm focus and sharp play have made her one of the toughest players on tour.
For Osaka, it was a tough night. She has the talent and fight, but Rybakina’s form right now is simply too much to handle.
