Player profile
Arantxa Rus built a late-career breakthrough on clay
Arantxa Rus has combined longevity with one of the WTA's most patient breakthrough stories. The Dutch left-hander was a junior world No. 1 and won the 2008 Australian Open girls' title, yet her first tour-level singles trophy did not arrive until Hamburg in 2023. At age 32 and in her 126th WTA main draw, she beat Noma Noha Akugue to become the oldest first-time WTA singles champion in four decades. Rus won two WTA 125 clay titles that same season and entered the Top 50. Her backhand, serve and preferred clay surface are all identified in her WTA biography.

US Open story
Arantxa Rus returns to US Open qualifying in 2026
Rus has played the US Open across many stages of her career, with second-round singles appearances in 2011 and 2024 representing her best New York results. In 2026 she begins in qualifying against Serbian teenager Teodora Kostovic. The match places a veteran former Top 50 player opposite an emerging opponent who has much less major experience but no reason to carry Rus's historical expectations. Rus still needs three victories to return to the main draw. Her past second rounds give her a proven New York reference point, while the current qualifying status reflects where her ranking sits now.
What to watch
Arantxa Rus versus Teodora Kostovic fan guide
The matchup joins two left-handers at very different career stages. Rus prefers clay and often benefits from time to shape her backhand, while New York hard courts can reward the player who establishes depth earlier. Kostovic's youth may bring freer attacking, but Rus has spent years solving qualifying matches and recently proved she could achieve a major career goal at 32. Fans should watch the crosscourt patterns created by two left-handed forehands and whether Rus can use height and spin to prevent flat first strikes. Experience matters most if she turns it into clear choices on break points.
