She never shows any emotions on court. Like never. She must be extremely shy in real-life.

well looking at her countrymen like Safin and Medvedev , i expected much better celebration , but maybe she's just like Meskina :d

@hckošicemight be curious to know Rybakina said she practices in Slovakia between tournaments these days. I wonder if she meant some of these tennis leagues that are played in Czech Republic too? I guess it's easier to avoid flying back to Russia through Dubai due to the sanctions?

No idea, probably she meant Slovenia ?

So I did some brief googling and found this interview from early 2021 to our sport news site. https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/454937/jedna-z-najtalentovanejsich-tenistiek-sucasnosti-jelena-rybakinova-sa-pripravuje-v-bratislave/

She actually really train and spend a lot of time in Bratislava, had no idea about this at all. Apparently it was an idea of her big friend Daria Kasatkina who train and live here regularly.

 

Last year Rybakina seems spend all her pre-season preparation in Bratislava with the local girls Schmiedlová, Kučová, Kužmová and the "Slovak" Swiss Belinda Benčič :p

 

However did not find anything more recent from this year for example, but if she mentioned it, it may be true.

    • 13 matches in last 14 days in 3 differnet countries in 2 continents Tunisia, Thailand and China.   Played a match every day Since 19th September   12 wins 1 loss   New career´s high 55th in WTA, 2 weeks ago she was around 110+    
    • Those hurt, especially not one but two countries that have never missed a single contest likely missing out now     Where did everyone go?   Edit: I see Slovenia is in, that's fantastic news! Brazil though...   I think I'm going to ask if @brunamoura wants to come up with a song, despite really not having lots of time for it due to training and work. With some luck, she can listen the playlist on Spotify during training or something and get a bit of a sense of which songs she likes. If that's acceptable for people of course, I can perfectly imagine people wouldn't be too happy with that since we literally share a household and it might be seen as a conflict of interest (although anyway I always only tell her my favourite songs after I sent my votes).
    • Announcement:   I'm going to extend the deadline for countries submission to Monday 30th September at 23:58 BST, with the voting now not opening to the public until Wednesday 2nd October at 23:58 BST. I felt this was necessary to do due to the lack of nations + the lack of some of the major players and not due to me failing to come up with an entry (@Vektor) that I will be posting after this announcement. This will be the last deadline that is moved, with the only dates potentially moving being the final dates. 
    • looking at the  Junior WCH (U-20) results so far, seems like USA is gearing up. the target would be to challenge China in LA 2028 and snatch few gold medals here and there.   p.s: China is not participating in Junior WCH     I am wondering if we can see USA in good shape in Bahrain WCH too 
    • Is Trump becomes President is he really going to let in the likes of Iran if they qualify. Fifa could protest if he won’t but sort of cancelling it they don’t have much leeway. 
    • SLOVENIA  Magnifico - Hir aj kam hir aj go     Robert Pešut, better known as Magnifico is one of most established Slovenian singers. He started his solo career more than 30 years ago.   Few weeks ago, he celebrated this jubilee with special concert in front of more than 20.000 people on special site in Ljubljana. Maybe does not seem a lot, but here there were not many concerts played with that crowd.   He is known for his special type of humour in his music and lyrics. Around 20 years ago he sold album Export Import, from which most known song is "Hir aj kam hir aj go", which was received well in other countries, especially in Italy.   Just another fact, Magnifico wrote two Eurovision songs, Sestre - Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) in 2002 and also for Montenegrin performer Rambo Amadeus (Euro Neuro).   He tried himself to perform at Eurovision, but with his still very well known "Silvija", ended 5th in EMA 1998 (Slovenia National Final).   SONG LYRICS  
    • Oh how I’ve missed Canucks hockey, Silovs with another beauty of a save      
    • Round of 16 - September 24th    1 - 3     5 - 0 
    • Think I'm gonna extend the deadline to another day, we've got plenty of time to spare and I shouldn't take too long to vote.
