World number one Elena Rybakina has withdrawn from the WTA Finals, the season-ending championship for women's tennis. The 2025 champion, who went undefeated en route to her first title last year, will not defend her crown in 2026. No immediate reason for the withdrawal was provided. Rybakina's absence marks a significant blow to the tournament, which begins later this week.
