Elena Rybakina had another good year to back up her career best season of 2020. The Russian-Kazakhistani reached the French Open quarter finals in both the singles and doubles disciplines.

As a result of her impressive performances, the 22 year old broke into the top 15 in the world rankings for the first time in her career.

Due to her strong performances, the 29 year old rose to a career high 46th rank in the world. Rogers would be looking to carry on in a similar fashion in the new season.
