Elena Rybakina's 13-Match Win Streak Snapped: Vows to Fix Serve Before Australian Open
Elena Rybakina lost on Friday to Karolina Muchova, ending her streak of 13 consecutive victories. In a press conference, the Kazakh player was critical of her serve, an aspect she wants to correct ahead of the Australian Open.
"Not to Repeat the Same Mistakes"
She said: "This is not the result I hoped for, but fortunately, I now have time to work on some points. In my last two matches, I really struggled with my serve; my movement wasn't optimal.
Everything needs to be in harmony. I also need to improve my starts to matches; my serve must be more effective, especially in terms of percentage. I need to focus on the positives and not repeat the same mistakes."
