Elena Rybakina didn't expect successful start to 2024 due to illness: "I had quite short preparation and I was sick"
WTAWednesday, 07 February 2024 at 05:00
Kazakhstan’s tennis star Elena
Rybakina has stated that she was surprised to see how well she started the
season despite feeling sick.
The 24-year-old is being
renowned as one the most talented players currently playing in the circuit
alongside the current world number one Iga Swiatek, second-ranked Belarus’ Aryna
Sabalenka and America’s Coco Gauff.
Rybakina was recently quoted
in a report where she stated that even she was surprised with how well she
started the season, largely because she was not feeling great.
“I started the season well, which I didn’t expect because I
had quite a short preparation and I was sick right before the tournament,” she
said. “Then in Melbourne, it was a tough first round and I had some issues after
that match, which was a bit unlucky but that’s tennis.
“The season has only just started and there is still the
whole year, so we will see how it goes. Hopefully she can stay healthy this
season & play the kind of tennis we all know she can play.”
Rybakina had a disappointing
campaign in the Australian Open where she was knocked out after losing in the
second round to Anna Blinkova with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 7-6. She is now set to
take part in the Abu Dhabi Open where she will face America’s Danielle Collins
in the round of 16 on Thursday.
