Rybakina, a quiet force: "I don't feel the pressure".
Having qualified for the quarter-finals of Wimbledon 2024, Elena Rybakina continues to display her usual calm. Asked about the rest of her tournament, which will see her take on Elina Svitolina on Wednesday, the Kazakh explained that she doesn't feel any pressure. She's focusing on her tennis and the pleasure she derives from playing on the grass of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Elena Rybakina: "I don't feel any pressure. I think every opponent is difficult and I always have to give my best. That's what I try to do in every match.
I really enjoy every time I'm on the court. I'm happy to go so far in the draw and I hope I can keep going until the end."
