Kazakhstan’s tennis star Elena Rybakina has attended Argentina’s
legendary forward Lionel Messi’s Major League Soccer (MLS) debut against New
York Red Bulls.
The 36-year-old has taken the MLS’ fame and fan following to
a whole new level after joining the Inter Miami side after leaving European
giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
Rybakina, who is currently in New York to participate in the
upcoming US Open, posted a picture on her official Instagram account of her
standing in the stands to watch Messi in action live.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is set to begin on
Monday where players from all over the world will battle it out for the ultimate
glory.
The 24-year-old will be eager to improve her record in the
mega-event where out of all the Grand Slams, she has the worst record while
playing at the Flashing Medows.
US Open remains the only major tournament where Rybakina has
not played in the quarterfinal or beyond. Her best outing to date was playing
in the third round in 2021 where she was defeated by the former world number
one Romania’s Simona Halep with a score of 7-6, 4-6, 6-3.
She will play her first-round fixture in the competition on Monday
against Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
