World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka fell to Elena Rybakina 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 in the WTA Finals group stage on Wednesday. Sabalenka hasn't been eliminated from competition yet as she already clinched her group.
It was a big upset as Rybakina is coming off two months of a break from tennis. She had only played three matches since July, when she reached the semifinals of Wimbledon. This was Rybakina's only win at the WTA Finals, meaning her run at the tournament is over despite the win.
