Rybakina, the best player – The secret of very good results: she has a strong team

She won Wimbledon-2022, and at the Australian Open-2023 she was defeated in the final by Aryna Sabalenko. He has continued to perform very well and last week he won Indian Wells (he avenged Arina).

Olena Rybakina is the best player in the WTA, and the athlete representing Kazakhstan tells the secret of her very good results in recent months.

“I think I’ve had really good results before, but then I was stopped by things that we can’t control, either the pandemic or the schedule. A lot has happened.

Now I feel ready for anything. Together with my trainer and everyone around me, I created a strong team: physiotherapist, fitness trainer, training partner. They all play a very important role in who I am and how I look on the field today.

Now off the field I don’t have to worry about anything anymore and that has contributed to my success. Morally, I just have to prepare for the matches.

After winning Wimbledon (#2022) I knew what to expect from the big matches, so I can say that experience also contributed to my success.

We had a good pre-season and now we are trying to maintain that level. It’s not easy because if you play a lot of tournaments, you can’t do physical training, you rely on what you’ve accumulated and what you win in real matches,” he concluded. Olena Rybakina for wtatennis.com, Eurosport reports.
