"It's long because it's kind of boring to stay": Elena Rybakina reiterates opposition of two-week-long schedule for WTA 1000 events

World number four Elena Rybakina has once again reiterated her point of view about the length of the schedule of WTA 1000 events. The 24-year-old was one of the most high-profile players in the sport to complain about the length of such events after recently taking part in the Madrid Open where her journey was cut short as she lost to the current world number two Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 1-6, 7-5, 7-6.
Kazakhstan’s tennis star was recently quoted in a report in which she once again reiterated her point of view about the length of the vents by stating that it is ‘boring’ to stay long in the same city. "I would say it's long because it's kind of boring to stay also, like you do your routines, then it's becoming a bit boring to really stay too long in these tournaments. I don't know," she said.
"It may make sense for Indian Wells and Miami to have that duration, but to do it in these two events, shortly before Roland Garros... With the new rules there is no room to choose, we are forced to compete in too many tournaments. We are going in [the] wrong direction, there is a lot to improve on the circuit and last year I wasted a lot of energy trying to change things. I realized that it is very difficult to do so, so I will just assume the rules and do the best I can.”
