“Quite confident with the decision” – Rybakina says she could not walk after Cincinnati and arrives fit for the US Open

The Kazakh confirmed her fitness at Flushing Meadows on Saturday, a day before the main draw begins, and described a foot problem far more serious than her absence had suggested.
