As the Russian-born Kazakhstani tennis player is all set for the Indian Wells, during one of the recent practice sessions against the Chinese tennis player, Zheng, displayed strong determination and dedication towards acing a drop shot in the best way possible.

The 24-year-old tennis player not only wants to be good at tennis but also has keen eyes to achieve perfection, by displaying her monstrous mentality. Not only that, just a few months ago, the WTA star revealed her mental tactics out in the open in an honest chess-like confession for tennis.

When Rybakina revealed her chess-like mental tactics 

A few months ago, the former world number 3 player talked about the similarity between tennis and chess and how there are a lot of similarities when it comes to the mental aspects of both games. She stated, “That’s why maybe for the people who just likes tennis and they’re older and they want to start, maybe it is a little bit difficult for them just because of the technique part. But overall, I think it’s a just amazing sport, because anything can happen. You play against the opponent. And it’s really like a chess. But on the court.”

As Rybakina explained, tennis requires strong technical skills, which can be difficult for both novices and experienced players. Still, she made it clear that what really interests her is the mental aspect—the skill of outwitting opponents.
