Sabalenka caps unforgettable week with dramatic Indian Wells title

Posted : 16 March 2026

World number one Aryna Sabalenka completed an extraordinary week by capturing her long‑awaited Indian Wells title with a hard‑fought victory over Elena Rybakina in the final of the 2026 BNP Paribas Open. Sabalenka lost the opening set 3‑6, but rallied to take the second 6‑3 and then edged the third in a dramatic tiebreak 7‑6(8‑6), at one point saving a championship point with a backhand winner en route to lifting the trophy.

The match, played under the California sun, saw Sabalenka battle her way back after dropping the first set and ultimately prevail in a tense final‑set breaker, highlighting her resilience and fighting spirit. This victory marked her first Indian Wells title, adding to her impressive haul on the WTA Tour and avenging previous final losses at this event.

Off the court, Sabalenka’s week was marked by personal milestones, including announcing her engagement and welcoming a new puppy — moments she said she would remember “for the rest of my life.”

Meanwhile, Rybakina’s runner‑up finish will boost her back into the top two of the WTA rankings, underlining the competitive nature of their rivalry and setting the stage for future high‑stakes matchups on tour.
