Rybakina eases injury fears ahead of US Open

Elena Rybakina, the Australian Open champion, has eased concerns over her US Open participation after suffering a heel injury that forced her to withdraw from the Cincinnati WTA quarter-final. Rybakina stated that she has started practicing and feels well, expressing satisfaction with how her team managed the situation. She emphasized that the focus now is on staying healthy and playing match by match, rather than dwelling on the ranking.

After being forced to retire in Cincinnati, Rybakina underwent several medical evaluations and gradually resumed her training regimen. Despite the injury's initial pain, she remains confident in the team's approach to her recovery. Rybakina can climb to the top of the world rankings if she reaches the semi-finals at Flushing Meadows, regardless of the Belarusian player's performance.
