We Lose More Than We Win,” Elena Rybakina Finally Breaks Her Silence on the Stress After 2022 Wimbledon Triump

Breaking News: “We Lose More Than We Win” – Elena Rybakina Finally Breaks Her Silence on the Stress After a Challenging Year

 

Elena Rybakina, one of the brightest stars in women’s tennis, has finally opened up about the stress and struggles she has endured throughout the 2024 season. After dealing with recurring health issues, coaching instability, and mental fatigue, the 2022 Wimbledon champion has spoken candidly about the emotional toll of professional tennis.

 

A Grueling Year of Setbacks

 

Rybakina’s 2024 season was anything but smooth. She struggled with health complications, including allergies and sleeping issues, which affected her performance on the court. Despite reaching the quarterfinals at the French Open, she admitted she wasn’t at her best, falling to Jasmine Paolini in a grueling three-set battle【10】. Her withdrawals from multiple tournaments due to illness and fatigue only added to the frustration【9】.

Her words highlight a broader issue within tennis: the relentless schedule and the toll it takes on players’ mental health. Unlike team sports, where an individual loss can be shared among teammates, tennis players bear the weight of their defeats alone.

 

Looking Ahead to 2025

 

Despite the setbacks, Rybakina remains hopeful. With Ivanisevic now in her corner, she is expected to make a strong comeback in 2025. His expertise, particularly in improving serves, could be the key to elevating her game. Analysts believe she has the potential to dominate on faster courts like those at Wimbledon, the US Open, and the Australian Open【8】.

 

While the road ahead won’t be easy, Rybakina’s honesty about her struggles is a step toward raising awareness about the challenges athletes face. If she can channel her experiences into motivation, 2025 might be the year she reclaims her place among the best in the wo
