href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/elena-rybakina\">Elena Rybakina<\/a> at the Indian Wells Open and the rewards coming her way will boost her bank balance and WTA Ranking.<\/p>\n<p>In a match that will be recorded as one of the best of the 2026 season on the WTA Tour, Sabalenka saved a match point in an epic final set tie-break to win her first Indian Wells title, as she found a way to come through against her biggest rival.<\/p>\n<p>This was a fitting match to end the women\u2019s event at Indian Wells, with world No 1 Sabalenka\u2019s 3-6, 6-3, 7-6[6] against the player who will move to just one place behind her in the rankings on Monday, a stunning advertisement for the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<p>Sabalenka saved the match point she faced with a brave point in the tie-break, as he fired a winner past Rybakina and turn the tide in her favour impressively to get over the winning line a couple of points later.<\/p>\n<p>This was a crucial moment for Sabalenka, who came up short in a few big finals over the last couple of years, but this was a moment when she held her nerve and got the job done.<\/p>\n<h2>More Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a
