Elena Rybakina: The Importance of Support When Things Get Tough

Sports News

World No. 8 Elena Rybakina commented on how much the expectations from people changed after her victory at Wimbledon 2022.

“I think the most challenging thing is that you expect a lot from yourself. It`s not really about the expectations of other people. And when something doesn`t go the way you want, you get frustrated. That`s where your environment is important. You need support, someone who can push you, a team that believes in you, family, friends…”

“Ultimately, we lose more often than we win. You have to work every day, and the result can come at any moment. You can feel amazing on the court, but suddenly get sick in the morning. What can you do? Nothing. You just need to keep working. That`s how I see it,” said Rybakina in a podcast with Caroline Garcia and her fiancé Borja Duran, Tennis Insider Club.
