Athletistic / Tennis. Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina spoke about how difficult it was for her after winning Wimbledon in 2022. She became the winner of the tournament, which did not award ranking points due to the suspension of the Russians and Belarusians.

“It was a tough win to overcome. After you win a title in a tournament like this, you say, ‘Wow, I hope it’s not a fluke.’

Rybakina: “Schwiatek is a very strong opponent, she has been stable throughout the year”

In my case, it was the fact that I didn’t have glasses. I didn’t feel like a top tennis player in the following tournaments. The expectations were huge, a lot of people are looking at you and waiting for you to prove yourself. But at the same time, you’re not treated like a real top tennis player because you haven’t scored points. This period was not easy,” Rybakina quotes in The Tennis Letter.
