Rybakina completes Grand Slam QF set with Osaka rout at US Open

At Louis Armstrong Stadium, Elena Rybakina completed her Grand Slam quarterfinal set with a dominant win over Naomi Osaka at the 2026 US Open, 6-1, 6-4. This is not just a routine victory but a significant milestone as she advances to her first Grand Slam quarterfinals. The match took place on Monday, and Rybakina showed clear confidence throughout. "I really didn't expect to play this well," she said after the match in her on-court interview. "I felt the ball was good from my side. A bit lucky in some moments. I caught some lines. Osaka is a tough opponent. I knew no matter the score I needed to focus on each ball. She is also an aggressive player. I am very glad with the way I played today." This victory helped Rybakina maintain her high form, dropping only 25 games in the first four rounds - the second fewest among players reaching the quarterfinals after Sabalenka.
