Tennis player Elena Rybakina experiences fallout following her shocking elimination from the Madrid tournament.
Heck ya, let's talk tennis-style! Elena Rybakina, Kazakhstan's queen of the court, took a hit in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) rankings after her defeat in the Madrid Open tournament against Elina Svitolina.
Now, you might be thinking that her loss was the cause behind her slipping rankings, but nah, that's not the whole story. In reality, it was her decision to skip the Stuttgart tournament, where she held the defending champ title, that cost her 500 ranking points and bumped her from the top 10 to the 11th position.[1][2][5] So, you could say the Stuttgart showdown had a bigger impact than her Madrid matchup.
Regarding Ms. Svitolina, well, she managed to hold onto her 17th position, despite defeating Rybakina in the third round of the tournament.[4] With that victory, she eliminated Kazakhstan's last representative in the Madrid "Masters" tournament, as Julia Putintseva and Anna Danilina had already departed the competition earlier on.[3]
On the men's side, nothing but good vibes for our Kazakhstan champ, Alexander Bublik. He not only took down the Russian Rublev but also secured a spot in the quarterfinals.[3]
