Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, living in the vibrant city of Miami. As a young tennis player, I’m always on the lookout for the latest trends and updates in the world of tennis. And, boy, do I have some exciting news to share with you all!
First off, let’s talk about Elena Rybakina. You might remember her as the 2022 Wimbledon champion, but recently, she’s been dealing with some physical issues that have kept her out of the game. However, it looks like she’s gearing up for a comeback, and this time, she’s got some big help!
Elena has just announced that she’ll be working with none other than Goran Ivanisevic, the former coach of Novak Djokovic. Ivanisevic is known for his incredible coaching skills and his own impressive tennis career. In an interview with Tennis Majors, he shared why he chose to work with Elena:
“There were other offers, but I think I chose the right one for me, for Elena’s style of play and potential, but also for her personality. Elena is calm and I can’t wait to start. I think it will be great. I don’t know her personally, but my friend Zule is her fitness coach, we worked together with Tomas Berdych, and in general she is said to be a great person. Game-wise, she has a great serve, she is tall, she hits hard and plays aggressively, she won Wimbledon just like me. I feel like I can teach her something. I mean, she is already WTA No. 5, but I think she can win more Slams, that’s for sure,” said Ivanisevic.
Ivanisevic highlighted that he believes there is room for improvement in every aspect of Elena’s game. He’s eager to work with her and help her achieve better results. This new collaboration has generated a lot of buzz in the tennis community, with many people excited to see what they can accomplish together.
Another trend that’s been buzzing lately is the WTA Finals, which took place recently in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). Elena Rybakina was one of the players competing there, although she didn’t have the best run. She was eliminated in the round robin stage after losing to Jasmine Paolini and Qinwen Zheng but managed to win against Aryna Sabalenka. Despite this setback, it’s clear that she’s still a force to be reckoned with in women’s tennis.
