Elena Rybakina enters her US Open first-round matchup against American qualifier Thea Frodin as a heavy favorite, buoyed by her No. 2 ranking and consistent hard-court results in 2026, including strong showings in Toronto and Cincinnati before a left-foot injury forced a retirement in the latter tournament. The 27-year-old has not played since mid-August and remains cautious about full fitness, though recent updates indicate positive recovery progress without rushed court time. Frodin, a 17-year-old ranked around No. 580 with a background primarily in junior events and lower-level ITF tournaments, lacks the experience and power to challenge elite WTA players on outdoor hard courts. Rybakina’s serve and baseline aggression typically overwhelm such opponents when healthy, though any lingering effects from the injury could influence movement in longer rallies.
