Kazakhstan’s tennis star Elena Rybakina has stated that she
is happy with her overall performance in the 2024 season.
The 24-year-old is already regarded as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing women’s tennis in the singles category, along with Poland’s Iga Swiatek and Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka.
Rybakina recently participated in the French Open 2024, but her journey ended on a surprising note. She lost in the quarterfinal
to Italy’s Jasmine Paolini with a score of 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.
Rybakina was recently quoted in a report published by Tennis World USA, in which she stated that she is satisfied with her performances
in the 2024 season.
“Well, I'm not going to go deep in this topic for sure,” she
said. “But l've been working a lot, and I think there is a lot of, as I say,
ups and downs. It's always different, but as I always say, also, the schedule
is not easy," Rybakina said.
"At the end of the day everybody is trying to manage as
best as possible. I think l've played a lot. As I said, if the body is on the
limit, I can't go on the court. If I'm not 100% ready, then it's a risk to even
get bigger injuries or something.
"For now it's been health with allergies, sleeping, so
it's a little bit different from maybe last year when I had back problems. I
heal. It's always ups and downs. It's tennis, so we’re just trying to find the
best possible way for me to prepare and be ready for big events like Grand
Slams and 1000 events.”
“I'm really happy with the results. I mean, I played so many
matches. Also, good wins against top players. Of course, it's a lot of ups and
downs from my side, missing some events. Of course, I would like to play
everything, but if the body is on the limit, I cannot do anything. For now I'm
pretty happy, and if I can continue like this until the end of the year it's
going to be not bad for sure.”
Elena Rybakina recently suffered a quarterfinal exit from the French Open.
Rybakina is having a more than decent time on the court in
2024. She disappointingly started her journey after crashing out of
the Australian Open following a defeat in the second round to Anna Blinkova
with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 7-6.
The Moscow-born star then managed to turn her form around
and managed to play in four WTA finals. She won the Abu Dhabi Open after
beating Daria Kasatkina with a score of 6-1, 6-4.
She then played in the final of the Qatar Open, where she lost to Swiatek in straight sets, 7-6, 6-2.
Rybakina then suffered another defeat in the final of a WTA
event, coming second-best against America’s Danielle Collins with a score of 7-5, 6-3. The current world number four last played in the final of the Stuttgart Open, where she lifted the title after beating Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk
in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2.

- Was Saba not paying attention to those who sought an inordinate amount of attention outside of their sport (occupation)... and to the point they lost their focus and eventually their place in tennis? For example: Giorgi, Bouchard, Raducanu, etc. They became infatuated with endless Selfies, videos, podcasts, TV commercials, magazine shoots, and so on. Thus their tennis suffered. Priorities are important.
