Elena Rybakina bio
On June 17, 1999, Elena Rybakina was born in Moscow. She began participating in sports alongside her older sister at an early age, initially concentrating on ice skating and gymnastics.
Her father suggested she switch to tennis instead after being informed that she was too tall to become a professional in either of those sports. Rybakina started playing tennis when she was six years old.
Rybakina relocated to the Spartak Tennis Club from the Dynamo Sports Club, where she had a number of skilled coaches.
She received training from Andrey Chesnokov, a former top-10 player, and Evgenia Kulikovskaya, a former top-100 player. Irina Kiseleva, who won the modern pentathlon gold medal at the World Championships, was one of her fitness instructors.
Rybakina did not begin receiving one-on-one instruction until she was a junior. Until the age of 15, she practiced with a group of approximately eight players, and then with a group of four players until the age of 18.
She only exercised for three hours a day and played tennis for roughly two hours a day. She attended a conventional high school without an athletics program, so she had to balance tennis with schoolwork, which reduced her time for tennis.
