Rybakina shows off her practice routine

Elena Rybakina teamed up with her coach Stefano Vukov to show her practising a routine for all the aspiring tennis professionals.

The video, originally posted on the WTA Instagram page, is about 4 minutes long and shows Rybakina starting out by doing some movement exercises. Her coach outlines simple tips that will better her movement in anticipation of the ball.

Her coaches instructions were clear: "If the ball is short move forward if it's deep, move back. "These tennis fundamentals are known even to amateurs but their importance is significant at the highest of levels.

They proceeded to spend the rest of the practice working on her groundstrokes which are her strongest suit. The practice took place at the Indian Wells Tennis Gardens.

Rybakina is having a breakout season so far and it's a shame it was derailed by the pandemic. However, at only 20 years old she has a long and prosperous career ahead of hear and will be dangerous when and if the season resumes this year.
