Elena Rybakina enters her US Open first-round matchup against Thea Frodin as the clear favorite, riding a strong 2026 campaign that includes an Australian Open title and a 42-13 record across WTA events. The 27-year-old world No. 2 brings elite serving, powerful baseline game, and hard-court experience that should overwhelm the 17-year-old American, whose WTA ranking sits near 580 with primarily ITF and junior results. However, Rybakina retired with a left ankle injury during the Cincinnati quarterfinals in mid-August after struggling to push off her serve, leading to her withdrawal from mixed doubles and limited recent practice visibility. Frodin’s recent junior performances and home-surface comfort offer limited upset potential against a seeded opponent, though any lingering mobility issues for Rybakina could influence early-round execution on outdoor hard courts.
