Rybakina, a new Russian Wimbledon champion with the Kazakh flag

Wimbledon closed doors to Russian and Belarusian tennis players due to the invasion of Ukraine. Tennis bodies responded by removing world ranking points in the tournament in all categories. This did not prevent the available numbers from competing, the prestige of the ‘Cathedral’ prevailed, which threatened to reduce the prizes but ended up maintaining a high financial endowment.

Two million pounds sterling for the best, approximately 2.4 ‘kilos’ of euros, went into the pockets of Elena Rybakinaa 23-year-old who surprised to the end beating the oldest Tunisian and No Ons Jaber, 27 years old, 3-6, 6-2 and 6-2 at 1h.47 ‘.

Ironies of fate, which raised the desired Venus Rosewater Dish it was a Russian, masked by the Kazakh flag. Born in Moscowwhere his family continues to live, at the age of 19 he accepted the financial offer from the Federation of Kazakhstan, which has been led since 2007 by the billionaire tennis fan Bulat Utemuratov.

That decision, made in mid -2018, made it possible for him to enter a Wimbledon where he had already reigned. Tall (1.84 meters), punching, cold. From the Russian school, where he trained with the former tennis player Andrey Chesnokov, as well as in Elena Vesnina.

His flow of powerful blows was stronger than Jabeur’s art, which took advantage of the rival’s nerves in the beginning. One harassment that eventually was his own destruction. The North African, favorite of his eleven consecutive wins on the lawn, had no courage to resist the winning dynamic into which Rybakina entered once he stopped thinking and launched himself to see what happens. A machine for handing out ‘sticks’.

Jabeur, pure puppet, could not invent because his head could not think properly. At 4-2, in the third set, Rybakina lifted 0-40 from the power of his serve. It’s important to tie the knot a few minutes later.

Rybakina, who was included in the festival, took over from retired Australian Ashleigh Barty on the list of winners. Kazakhstan became the 12th country to enter the history of Wimbledon women’s singles. This is only Elena’s third professional crown, in nine finals played. He previously won the 2019 Bucharest WTAs (earth) and 2020 Hobart (hard).

“I don’t live anywhere. I train in Slovakia and Dubai when I’m not traveling there,” Rybakina said, avoiding direct contact with Moscow. Engaged this time at Wimbledon.
