What was Elena Rybakina’s record at the 2026 hard-court Grand Slam tournaments?

The story behind the answer

Elena Rybakina finished the 2026 hard-court Grand Slam tournaments with a 14–0 record.

The statistic covers her matches at the Australian Open and US Open, the two Grand Slam events played on hard courts. She won the Australian Open earlier in the season and then completed the year’s hard-court major sweep by winning the US Open.

Rybakina’s two hard-court major titles came against the same opponent, Aryna Sabalenka. She defeated Sabalenka in the Australian Open final and again in the US Open final, although the matches were separate tournaments months apart.

This record does not describe all of Rybakina’s 2026 matches. It is limited to the hard-court Grand Slam tournaments, making it different from her overall season record or her record at every hard-court event.
