Kazakhstan’s tennis star Elena Rybakina has expressed satisfaction with her overall performance in the 2024 season. At 24 years old, she is considered one of the top players in women’s singles tennis, alongside Poland’s Iga Swiatek and Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka.
Elena Rybakina recently participated in the French Open 2024, where she faced an unexpected defeat in the quarterfinals. She lost to Italy’s Jasmine Paolini with a score of 6-2, 4-6, 6-4. Despite this surprising exit, Rybakina remains positive about her overall performance this season. In a report published by Tennis World USA, she expressed satisfaction with her achievements in 2024.
“Well, I’m not going to go deep in this topic for sure,” Rybakina said. “But I’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. At the end of the day, everybody is trying to manage as best as possible. I think I’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,” Rybakina added.
“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,” Rybakina stated.
