Elena Rybakina breaks the record for most winners ever hit in a WTA 1000 tournament. 200. She set the record last year at this very tournament when she hit 199 winners. Breaking her own records. 🇰🇿🩵
Record breaking tournament for Elena RYBAKINA despite Miami Open final defeat
WTASunday, 31 March 2024 at 14:30
Elena Rybakina despite not winning the title at the Miami Open and not being 100% by her own admission throughout her run again in Florida was still in record breaking form. An ominous sign going forward no doubt.
Rybakina last year hit 199 winners to set a new record in a WTA 1000 tournament and this year, she added to her own record albeit by only one notch as she lost out 7-6, 6-3 to Danielle Collins in the decider at the Miami Open.
In the end, the former Wimbledon champion hit 200 winners in total to beat her own record after she lost to Petra Kvitova at the same stage back in 2023.
Albeit the reaction to this statistic being pointed out was negative with tennis fans saying that she still lost the final as well as chiming in that she likely holds the record for most unforced errors too as she failed to deliver against the American in the final.
But a tournament that she was left pleased with despite the circumstances gleams another record for the Kazakh who will now move forward to the clay court season and Stuttgart in a few weeks time.

- On the subject of potential Losers in Tennis... Why is the tennis media avoiding the news that Giorgi and Family robbed their landlord in Florence? Apparently they did some Midnight Marketing and stole antique and collectible items belonging to the landlord's family (including large furniture and miscellaneous Family History items). The old guy and his mother just want their 'history' back, even though they are losing thousands of Euro's in 6 months of unpaid rent. This man makes it clear the father is the main player behind this sudden disappearance (and the tax dodging in Italy).
mandoist20-05-2024 - Seems like Emma is taking the Giorgi and Bouchard route -- using occasional Tennis as a media hit for their alternate ambitions (zooming sponsors, photo shoots, magazine covers, TV commercials, anti-Social Media postings, hiring photog's to make "informal" shots of her on vacation, etc., etc.) Hey, WTA! Hey, Sponsors! You're being played to the tune of millions of misspent Euros and Pounds!!mandoist20-05-2024
