Elena Rybakina trades off-season rest for racket madness ahead of World Tennis League
WTATuesday, 12 December 2023 at 17:30
Elena Rybakina will play in the upcoming World Tennis League and is already back to work ahead of the new season. The tennis off-season continues to get shorter and shorter and especially for those like Rybakina who played in the WTA Finals, it is now a short turnaround.
She has based herself in Dubai for training for the next little while as Iga Swiatek as well as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in the men's side of the game both among those back to work already.
Season begins in Brisbane for Kazakh ace
As well as exhibition action over the close season in 2023, the 2024 season for Rybakina will begin in Brisbane and she is also slated to play in Adelaide the week after before the Australian Open in a busy schedule.
She will join Aryna Sabalenka and Naomi Osaka as the big names in Brisbane in a stacked field. Of course with Rafael Nadal also returning meaning that perhaps the usual onus that would be on the leading WTA trio who are involved isn't as much.
But after a season in which Rybakina up until getting ill at Roland Garros was in spectacular form, she will hope to recapture the form that saw her reach the Australian Open final just over 12 months ago and capture another Grand Slam title. Being back in training early shows that to be the case.
“The Brisbane International is shaping up to be one of the best we’ve seen in both the women’s and men’s fields," said tournament director, Cam Pearson.
To have both the world No 2 and world No 4, Sabalenka and Rybakina, headlining the women’s field and young gun Ben Shelton also confirmed, further cements the tournament as a premium event
