Rybakina withdraws from Billie Jean King Cup after US Open triumph

Elena Rybakina, the newly crowned world number one and winner of the US Open, has withdrawn from the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen, China, due to an ongoing Achilles injury. Rybakina, who defeated Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set final to secure her third Grand Slam title, announced her withdrawal via Instagram, expressing sadness over missing the event. The injury, which began during the Cincinnati tournament, persisted throughout the US Open, requiring her to take painkillers during matches. Despite playing through the injury, Rybakina delivered a strong performance, ending Sabalenka's reign as world number one. Her absence marks a significant challenge for Kazakhstan, as they prepare to face Spain in the quarterfinals. Rybakina will undergo treatment and rehabilitation in Kazakhstan before resuming full training.
