Julia Goerges: "If I had to choose one, it would be Rybakina".
Former world no. 9 Julia Goerges had this to say about Elena Rybakina, and was full of praise. She told Tennis365: "I really like Elena Rybakina because I can identify with the way she plays tennis.
She plays without compromise. Unlike her groundstrokes and serve, she can do better at the net.
I like her sharp shots and her serve. I think that's how you win Grand Slams.
Rybakina doesn't sit back, she plays. I really like Iga Swiatek athletically, with the way she moves.
I haven't seen Aryna Sabalenka for a while. She trains incredibly hard and has improved over the years.
Sabalenka richly deserves her place at the top of the world rankings, but if I had to pick one, it would be Rybakina."
