Elena Rybakina is certainly one of the most impressive tennis players this season. The Kazakh tennis player had many challenges and crises during the season, but the end of the season brought her an incredible experience; winning the WTA Finals.
Getting to such a trophy is extremely difficult considering that you have to jump over serious obstacles to achieve your goal. On her way, she managed to beat players like Iga Swiatek, Amanda Anisimova, Jessica Pegula, and in the final, Aryna Sabalenka.
Whether this victory will be an indication of even better days for her remains to be seen.
Sky Sports Tennis presenter Gigi Salmon commented on Elena Rybakina's performance, who, thanks to her latest victory, reached fifth place in the WTA rankings.
