    Sabalenka Holds Firm at No. 1 as Rybakina Closes Gap with Stuttgart Triumph

    By IANS News April 21, 2026 • 09:05 AM View: 295

    Belarusian star Aryna Sabalenka continues to dominate the WTA Rankings, extending her stay at World No. 1 despite skipping the Stuttgart Open, while Elena Rybakina strengthened her position in second with another title-winning run.

    Sabalenka began her 79th consecutive week at the top, and 90th overall, maintaining a commanding 2,395-point lead over Rybakina even after opting not to defend her points from last year’s runner-up finish in Stuttgart. However, the gap narrowed slightly after Rybakina lifted the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix title, defeating Karolina Muchova in the final to secure her second title of the season and 13th of her career.
