Elena Rybakina on what makes her stand apart from other athletes

World No. 5 Elena Rybakina joins the Mind Set Win podcast where telling in which way she stands apart from all the other tennis players, Kazinform Agency reports.   

"I'm trying to show no emotions, no matter the situation, to be calm and trying not show if I'm upset or angry. I think this worked especially well in the beginning when no one knows you and then you come to the court and then you’re playing very well. They need some time also to actually realize what are the weak spots or not, because this is how it works. I think it also helps me and may be confusing sometime for the opponent. Sometimes, you need to show the emotions, especially, I would say, for me, if I’m not playing well and maybe something is not going how I wanted it to be - shots are not working or the serve, when everything could be, I need to show the opponent that I’m still there and fighting. Sometimes, maybe some payers are too angry in the court or showing too many emotions. They need to work to be calmer. So, for me, it’s kind of opposite, which, I think, could be rare, Rybakina said in the podcast Mind Set Win.

Earlier it was reported that two Kazakh tennis players skyrocketed in the ATP doubles rankings.
