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.
