Kazakh tennis player Elena Rybakina spoke about her victory over world number one Arina Sabalenka of Belarus at the WTA final tournament in Riyadh.
The meeting of the Violet group ended with a score of 6:4, 3:6, 6:1 in favor of Rybakina.
— It was a difficult match. I am very happy that I managed to win. It’s good to end the year with at least one victory over the world number one (in April, at a tournament in Stuttgart, Rybakina beat the Polish Iga Szwiatek, who was then number one – editor’s note). She also had every chance of winning. I’m just happy. Thank you very much for your support.
Every game here, I played a little better. It’s not easy after such a long break. Today I served very well. We both made mistakes, sometimes I was lucky. I really like the atmosphere. Thank you again for your support,” Rybakina said in The Tennis Letter.
Rybakina earned her first tournament victory; earlier she lost her chances of reaching the semi-finals of the competition. Sabalenka reached the semi-finals from first place in the group.
