Rybakina has a career-high ranking of world No. 12 by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and became the first Kazakhstani player in the top 15. She is the current Kazakhstani female No. 1 player in singles.

Rybakina’s first consistent success on the WTA Tour came in the mid-2019 and was highlighted by her first WTA title at the Bucharest Open as well as her top 100 debut.

Rybakina made her breakthrough in the 2020 season, during which she led the tour with five finals, including four in her first five events of the year.

Rybakina has reached eight finals on the WTA Tour, including three at the WTA 500 level, winning two titles.
