Aryna Sabalenka loses world number one ranking after US Open final
Aryna Sabalenka lost her world number one ranking to Elena Rybakina following a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 defeat in the US Open final. The match was marked by Sabalenka's visible frustration, including hitting a ball into the stands, which resulted in a warning, and destroying multiple rackets both on the court and in the locker room.
Sabalenka also faced criticism for her conduct toward a camera operator during the event. Tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou commented on her performance, noting that her struggle to manage emotions has become a recurring issue over the last two years. He suggested that her inability to control her temperament is the primary obstacle preventing her from consistently winning Grand Slam tournaments.
