In a recent turn of events at the WTA Finals in Cancun, Mexico, Elena Rybakina found herself grappling with the whims of the wind. As she tossed the ball for her serve, it became evident that Cancun’s windy conditions were not in her favor.

Despite the unexpected challenges, Rybakina maintained a smile on her face and went ahead to serve the ball. The crowd also stood behind the Kazakhstan player while ensuring she was unaffected by the wind by offering their cheers and encouragement. However, the wind interrupted her play.

She could not judge the flight of the ball, which resulted in an instant double fault for her. This incident was certainly one of a kind, with the wind blowing the ball out of the way during a serving motion.

While the player quickly got over the incident, her fans didn’t. They took to Twitter to share their opinions.
