Elena Andreyevna Rybakina is a Kazakhstani professional tennis player. Rybakina was born on 17 June 1999 in Moscow, Russia. She started playing sports with her older sister from a very young age, originally focusing on gymnastics and ice skating. Upon being told that she was too tall to become a professional in either of those sports, her father suggested she switch to tennis instead because of his interest in the sport. Rybakina began playing tennis at the age of six. She also only played tennis about two hours per day and trained in fitness for three hours a day. Her time for tennis was limited in part because she attended a regular high school not specialized for athletes and needed to balance tennis with schoolwork.
Rybakina moved from the Dynamo Sports Club to the Spartak Tennis Club, where she had several accomplished coaches. She trained with former top-10 player Andrey Chesnokov and former top-100 player Evgenia Kulikovskaya. One of her fitness coaches was Irina Kiseleva, a World Championship gold medalist in the modern pentathlon. She is the reigning champion at Wimbledon and the first Kazakhstani player to win a major title. She is also the first to be ranked in the world’s top 15, with a career-high ranking of No. 12 by the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), and the current Kazakhstani No. 1 player in women’s singles. Rybakina has reached eight other finals on the WTA Tour, including three at the WTA 500 level, winning two titles.
Elena Rybakina is currently single, and there is little information about her personal life.
