Rybakina has accepted a Top 30 replacement spot following the withdrawal of Linda Noskova.
The Kazakh star has had an incredible season so far, starting with her second career Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in January. The 2025 WTA Finals champion has also won the WTA 500 title in Stuttgart this year and made the final in Indian Wells.
Rybakina’s big serve and powerful groundstrokes have made her a formidable grass court player in recent years as well.
Most notably, the 26-year-old won the Wimbledon title back in 2022, where she defeated Tunisian Ons Jabeur in the final 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. She also reached the semi-finals at SW19 in 2024.
Rybakina featured at the HSBC Championships last year as well, reaching the quarter-finals as the fourth seed before losing out to eventual champion Tatjana Maria.
