(VIDEO) "Only myself": Rybakina poised response to not fearing anyone in tennis with documented wins
WTATuesday, 29 August 2023 at 08:30
Kazakhstan’s tennis star Elena Rybakina stated that she is focusing
one match at a time.
The 24-year-old registered a thumping win in the first round
of the US Open 2023 after beating Marta Kostyuk in straight sets with a score
of 6-2, 6-1 on Monday.
After the match during an on-court interview, Rybakina was
asked whether she is scared of facing anyone after beating the likes of the
current world number one Iga Swiątek, world number two Aryna Sabalenka and
Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur, to which she responded:
“Only myself. It all depends how I do it on the court. I
mean I am trying to focus one match at a time and hopefully I will continue
playing like this today.”
The victory and the manner of win was surely an important one
for Rybakina who does not have a great record while playing at the US Open
which remains the only Grand Slam where she has never played in the fourth
round or beyond.
To date, her best outing while playing at the Flashing Medows
was reaching suffering defeat in the third round of the competition back in 2021
to Romania’s Simona Halep with a score of 7-6, 4-6, 6-3.
Rybakina will now face Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic in the
round of 64 of the US Open on Wednesday.

- This clown is 21 years old... he should start acting like it.

- He's a Cool Dude (and very funny guy). Always fun to be in the presence of Tomasz. Something he mentioned here is what many who have coached at any level can relate to -- "the crazy parents committee". It relates to my coaching experiences in kid's sports. My #1 complaint about coaching kids is Problem Parents!! It can be a very abusive, even violent situation with many parents when it comes to their kid's sports. In the end, it was no longer worth the potential (all too common) altercations for me and I quit. But thanks to Tomasz, I now have a name for those (you?) people: The Crazy Parents Committee.mandoist26-09-2024
- She's no longer a tennis player; apparently it wasn't a priority. So why the publicity?mandoist26-09-2024
- Yes, the Ginger is right... 'you don't have to play'. And we are realizing the results of how players are affected by non-stop scheduling. Everything Iga first mentioned 2 years ago is now coming to fruition as far too many top WTA players cannot maintain their well-being. Therfor having to blow-off several tourneys. It's common sense -- the human body is not a machine! WTA's GREED and insensitivity is no joke.mandoist26-09-2024
