Athletistic / Tennis. The fourth racket in the world, Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina, recalled her triumph at Wimbledon in 2022. Two years ago, a native of Moscow sensationally became the winner of the Grand Slam tournament in London.
“Of course, when I won Wimbledon in 2022, I had different emotions. I know what it feels like. It gives me more confidence because I know what it will be like if you finish in the semi-finals, if you can go far in the bracket of the tournament.
At the same time, now I try to forget about it. Several years have passed since then. For now, I have to focus on what is happening here and now. As always, difficult matches await me… We constantly prepare for each opponent. I try to take only positive things from this tournament victory. I try to do everything possible and, I hope, to go far here this time, “Rybakina quotes the Wimbledon press service.
On July 6, in the third round of Wimbledon 2024, Elena Rybakina defeated the former world number one, Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki, with a score of 6:0, 6:1. Rybakina’s next opponent at the Grass Slam will be Russian Anna Kalinskaya.
It is worth noting that in 2022, Wimbledon was deprived of ranking points due to the organizers’ unilateral refusal to allow tennis players from Russia and Belarus to participate in the tournament.
