"Rybakina Should Have 2 or 3 More Grand Slams," Says an American Journalist

After a mixed season, Elena Rybakina ended on a high note by winning the WTA Finals against Aryna Sabalenka. But for journalist Steve Flink, the best is yet to come: he sees her as a future multiple Grand Slam champion, provided she rediscovers the serenity that carried her at Wimbledon in 2022.

Elena Rybakina finished her 2025 season very strongly by qualifying for the WTA Finals and then winning them by defeating Aryna Sabalenka in the final. However, she did not advance past the round of 16 in Grand Slam tournaments this year.

"May Calm Replace Turmoil"

American journalist Steve Flink commented on the Kazakh player's situation: "I hope that calm will replace turmoil and that she can play at her best level, because when she is in a state of calm like at Wimbledon in 2022, she is more than capable of winning Grand Slam tournaments.

She should have two or three more in her record by now. Perhaps, who knows, next year will be her moment, and I hope she will be able to capitalize on what we saw at the end of the year."
