Elena Rybakina's season ended this Wednesday with a curious result. Already eliminated from the 2024 WTA Finals, with no mathematical chances of advancing from the group stage, the Kazakh player dug deep to triumph in three sets against Aryna Sabalenka, who had already secured her spot in the semifinals. That's what you call going out fighting. After the victory, Elena shared her thoughts and made an interesting prediction.
"It was a tough match; I'm happy to have handled the situation well to win. It's nice to end the year by defeating the current world No. 1, even though she also had many chances to claim the victory. My goal now is to win Grand Slams, although the main objective is to become the world No. 1 someday... maybe next season," expressed the woman who will start working with Goran Ivanisevic in 2025.
