"The priority always is to do well in the Grand Slams": Elena Rybakina admits World No.1 is main target, but focus on titles

World No.4 Elena Rybakina has opened up about her desire to win more Grand Slam titles, stating that ranks higher than holding the World No.1 position on her list of priorities.

The 2022 Wimbledon champion was close to winning her second Grand Slam title at this year's Australian Open, but fell to Aryna Sabalenka in the final. Nonetheless, Rybakina has made it a mission to add more Major titles to her trophy cabinet.

In a recent interview with Kazakh news channel Gulf News, the tennis star spoke about her goals and ambitions for the 2024 season. Additionally, she pointed out areas in her game that could use improvement.

"Of course the main goal is to become the world No 1 one day but the priority always is to do well in the Grand Slams," said Rybakina. "So I think the goals are quite the same. I want to improve physically because this part is always a bit weaker for me, but on the court there is so much to improve that we never have the time (to) implement what my coach is telling me."
