Sports news ยป Elena Rybakina: ‘I Was Kind of Working as a Driver’ During Dubai Preseason

World No. 10 Elena Rybakina recently shared a humorous anecdote about her newfound driving skills.

“Everything is great with driving, I got my license,” Rybakina said. “During the preseason in Dubai, I drove everywhere with the team. I drove everyone around (smiles). I was kind of working as a driver,” she joked.

Reflecting on a past achievement, she added, “It`s a great feeling. I am very happy with what I achieved last year in Stuttgart,” referring to winning a Porsche at the tournament, despite not having a license at the time. Rybakina made these comments in an on-court interview following her victory over Kimberly Birrell at the Billie Jean King Cup.

As a reminder, in 2024, Rybakina received a Porsche as a prize for winning the Stuttgart tournament, highlighting the amusing contrast with her then-licenseless status.
