Betting Community In Shock Following Massive Wimbledon Upset

Elena Rybakina came into Wimbledon as a relative unknown, but she’ll be leaving as a household name.

After a terrific run in the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, Rybakina added one more upset win to notch the championship on Saturday morning.

Elena Rybakina was so unheard of leading into Wimbledon, that sports books had her as over a 100-1 underdog to take home the trophy.

Elena Rybakina had a noticeably subdued reaction to the Wimbledon triumph over Ons Jabeur this morning, almost like she felt she had a chance all along.

And after the win, she spoke on the long road to her becoming a champion.

Via Yahoo:

She admitted: “I was going just up. I thought that I can play every tournament no matter how I feel. It was just going always my way. I felt really good. Everything was new for me.

“After corona, after this long period, it was very difficult to come back. During the pandemic, I didn’t practise at all. It wasn’t easy.”

Sure, Elena Rybakina may have shocked the sports and betting world this morning. But perhaps she’s just scratching the surface of her career.
