Elena Rybakina blames the heat

The words of Elena Rybakina

Elena Rybakina spoke after her defeat to Jasmine Paolini in the Roland Garros quarters: "Definitely not è it was my best day. She, however, played very well and started better than me. She also moved well. I started a little bit’ slowly, while she è was aggressive from the first ball. Following that I just tried to find my tennis, fighting. We were close with the score, but in the end she won. Now I will focus on the season on grass".

"Today it was definitely warmer and the ball flew more. I think my legs didn’t respond very well. So no matter what conditions were there, whether fast or slow-I had to move better and I had to make better decisions. I made a lot of mistakes. I am not very satisfied with the performance, but soì è. è tennis. One cannotò play well every day. I will tryò to take something from this match, analyze that something by moving forward”.

The balance of 2024 for now è however, positive: "I am very happy with the results I got. I really played a lot of matches and, among them, I defeated many top players. Of course, there are still many ups and downs on my part. I have missed some events. I would like to play everywhere, but if my body è to the limit I can’t do anything about it. For now, però, they can consider me satisfied and if I continue like this until the end of the year it certainly wouldn".
