For her victory at the tournament, the 26-year-old Rybakina received a record prize of $5.235 million. This award became her most significant trophy since her victory at Wimbledon in 2022, when she won the final against Ons Jabeur from Tunisia, becoming the first Kazakh athlete to win a Grand Slam title.
After this significant victory, the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, congratulated Elena and awarded her the Order of "Barys".
Thus, Rybakina became the first woman in history to win the year-end tournament in singles among women.
