Rybakina, after surpassing 300 aces this season: "It's my best weapon, but it doesn't always work"

Elena Rybakina continues to make the most of one of the most decisive weapons on the entire women's circuit. The Kazakh player advanced in Toronto after defeating Ann Li and once again demonstrated her immense ability with the serve, an aspect where she is making a difference this season.

The figure speaks for itself: 306 aces and counting, more than any other player on the WTA circuit. This stat sums up Rybakina's strength when she manages to find her best rhythm with the first serve. After her victory against Li, the Kazakh was asked specifically about this record.

“It's a great achievement; it's my greatest weapon in the game. Whenever it works, it doesn't matter who is on the other side, it's amazing,” responded the 2022 Wimbledon champion, who knows that her serve can completely change the course of a match and become a fast track to imposing her rhythm. However, the Kazakh player also wanted to highlight a much broader reality of tennis: the difficulty of maintaining an extraordinary level throughout an entire match.

Rybakina admitted that her level can experience ups and downs during matches, something she considers inevitable in such a demanding sport. “I’m trying to maintain my level, but sometimes it drops; that’s how tennis is. You can’t play amazing all the time,” she explained. The solution, according to the player herself, lies in the ability to adapt. “You always have to adapt and try to find your game,” she noted. This philosophy is especially important in a tournament like Toronto, where conditions and demands increase as the rounds progress.

Today the Kazakh left satisfied for having found enough answers on the court, happy that things worked out. “Now I'm just looking forward to the next match,” Elena summarized, noting that she will have to wait a few hours to find out who her opponent will be in the next round.
