World number one Elena Rybakina will not represent Kazakhstan at the upcoming Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The decision comes shortly after her victory at the US Open.

Rybakina said the demanding schedule of the past month influenced her decision to step away from the team competition. Her withdrawal means Kazakhstan will enter the tournament without its newly crowned world number one.

The Billie Jean King Cup Finals will bring together national teams for the concluding stage of the women's international team competition.
