For her future collaboration with Ivanisevic, Rybakina announces her goals!
Elena Rybakina has had a tricky 2024, with a large number of withdrawals in the second half of the season. The Kazakh, who has also parted company with her coach Stefano Vukov, will start a new chapter in her career alongside Goran Ivanisevic in 2025.
The former Wimbledon winner decided to return to tennis just a few months after the end of his collaboration with Novak Djokovic.
Supported by a renowned new coach, Rybakina revealed yesterday at a press conference the goals she would like to achieve next year: "It's nice to end the year by beating the world No.1, even if she had many opportunities to win the match.
My aim is to win Grand Slams. And my main goal is to become world n°1. I'm hoping that could be next year."
