Elena Rybakina was a keen gymnast and ice skater as a child before she was told she would not succeed as a professional because of her height. Her father encouraged her to play tennis but the turning point came when she left school. Worried about the financial implications of turning pro, her father wanted her to go to college and she had numerous offers from universities in America. However, the Kazakhstan Tennis Federation made an offer to financially support her, which led to her representing them from 2018 onwards. She won her first WTA Title at Bucharest in 2019 before she had a breakthrough start to 2020, reaching four finals in her first five events. |
