Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina may have suffered an early exit at the 2024 Australian Open, but the former finalist seems to have put that behind her as she made her return to the practice courts.
The 2022 Wimbledon champion fell in three sets to Russian Anna Blinkova in the second round of the Melbourne Major, losing the third set tiebreaker in heartbreaking fashion. Both ladies set the record for the longest tiebreak played in Grand Slam history, with Blinkova prevailing 6-4 4-6 7-6(20) as she finally closed out the match on her 10th match point.
Rybakina to participate in Middle East Swing
The World No.5 may have seen her Australian Open campaign come to an end, but she appears ready to tackle the upcoming WTA events in the Middle East. Rybakina, known for her powerful groundstrokes, took to social media to post some video footage of herself practicing with ATP counterpart, Karen Khachanov, who is known for hitting some pretty big groundstrokes himself.
"What a session!!!", wrote Rybakina, as the video showed her exchanging groundstrokes with Khachanov.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
