Elena Rybakina had a terrific season this year. Even though she did not score any major titles or wins, her game certainly got better and she was able to play some of the toughest matches of her career against top-seeded players. And now after the WTA Finals is over, she has time to regain her strength and prepare herself for the next season.

During one of her interviews post her match, she was asked certain questions about her parents, background, and family. And the way she mentioned the support of her family really resonated with her fans. Let’s check it out.

Elena Rybakina talks about the importance of her parents’ support during tours

After ending the WTA Finals tour, Elena Rybakina very candidly talked about the kind of support she receives from her parents when she is on tour. Right before her next tournament in November which is the Billie Jean King Cup finals, she shared how wonderful it has been to receive support from her parents.

Rybakina mentioned, “My parents, they took really good decisions. They helped me a lot. Well, when I was young, I knew that I was going to be a professional. It was quite easy on me, and I think I had a normal childhood at school and with my friends. My mom is someone who I looked up [to]. There are tough moments and tough decisions and my parents especially mom, are the one who helps me a lot.”

Having parents who accompany you or cheer for you on your tough day is something that no one can replace. And we are sure having such supportive parents is one of the reasons why she is able to perform so well on the court.

Rybakina suffered back injury and pain due to WTA Finals’ ill-preparation

We all know the facilities by the WTA in Cancun, Mexico were far from ideal. The ill playing conditions did not sit well for the WTA players as they did not get enough time to play on the court. This also happened to give them a lot of sprains and injuries as the court was not up to the mark.

The same happened with Elena Rybakina as well. She was one of the players who struggled with her back. We hope she is able to come back on track soon again and give her best. We sure are excited to see her back on the court and back to her best.
