The 2024 Elena Rybakina tennis season officially began on 31 December 2023, with the start of the Brisbane International in Brisbane.
Yearly summary
Rybakina started her 2024 season by winning the Brisbane International final against Aryna Sabalenka, before going out in the second-round at the Australian Open to Anna Blinkova in a match that featured the longest tie-break in Grand Slam history.
She won the Abu Dhabi Open in February, beating Daria Kasatkina in the final. Rybakina secured her third title of the season in April at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, beating two-time defending champion Iga Swiatek in the semifinals, and then Marta Kostyuk in straight sets in the final. She made it through to the quarter-finals at the French Open, before losing to eventual runner-up Jasmine Paolini.
Moving onto the grass-court swing of the year, Rybakina retired due to illness during her quarter-final against Victoria Azarenka at the Berlin Ladies Open and then withdrew from the following week's Eastbourne International. At Wimbledon she steamrollered former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in just 57 minutes and for the loss of only one game in the third-round before winning her round four match when opponent Anna Kalinskaya retired injured in the second set. Rybakina defeated Elina Svitolina in the quarter-finals but lost to Barbora Krejčíková in the semi-finals.
Rybakina withdrew from the Paris Olympics two days before it got underway due to acute bronchitis. She defeated qualifier Destanee Aiava in the first round at the US Open but then withdrew from the tournament due to unspecified injuries. On 23 September, Rybakina announced she would miss the entire Asian swing of the season due to a back injury.
Rybakina played her first match since August at the WTA Finals in November, losing her opening group contest to Jasmine Paolini in straight sets. She lost her second group match in three sets to Zheng Qinwen. Despite defeating world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in her final group match, Rybakina failed to reach the semifinals.
