The year-end championships for women, i.e. the WTA Finals are fast approaching. The top eight players of the 2024 season have descended to Riyadh, which will host the event. Elena Rybakina will be among the players who will be making a comeback of sorts at the tournament. The Kazakh star last featured at the US Open where she pulled out midway through the tournament after the first round owing to an injury. However, with Rybakina fully fit now, fans can expect some fireworks from her.

The 2022 Wimbledon champion has already lit up the stage during the pre-event bash along with her sister, Anna, leaving the fans in awe. Ahead of the WTA Finals, the tournament hosted a pre-event bash for the players and their teams. Rybakina made a glamorous appearance there and she was accompanied by her elder sister, Anna, who manages her and is a frequent traveler with Rybakina. While Rybakina opted for a black and red outfit, Anna looked gorgeous in an all-black outfit.

Anna has massively backed Rybakina in her career. While she herself was an athlete, she didn’t enter the professional world and instead backed her younger sister in her career. Anna can often be seen in Rybakina’s box and has been a vocal supporter of her. So when she made an appearance with Rybakina during the pre-tournament party at the WTA Finals, fans couldn’t keep calm.

Fans cheer for Elena Rybakina as she makes glamorous appearance with her sister

Ahead of the US Open, Rybakina announced a shocking split with her then-coach, Stefano Vukov. According to several reports, the split wasn’t on good terms and fans supported Rybakina right through that tough phase. When pictures of the Kazakh with her sister dropped from the pre-event bash ahead of the WTA Finals, one of the fans felt relieved that Vukov wasn’t there. The comment read, “Elena and Anna looking very chiq! And most importantly, no Vukov to ruin the photos.”

Another fan hailed Rybakina and her sister’s outfit and felt that it gave them a royal look. The fan wrote, “They both look royal and elegant.” While Anna has been a frequent traveler with Rybakina, she was absent from some tournaments this year. Rybakina, co-incidentally, struggled with her performance in those tournaments and a fan was relieved that the duo was back together again. The comment read, “Anything just looks good on her, so happy Anna is there with her again!” 

Further, one of the fans reminisced about the iconic bonding between sisters in the tennis world. One of the most famous examples is the bond of Serena and Venus Williams. The fan praised the looks of the Rybakina sisters and said, “Being the sister of a tennis champ is my dream life. They look beautiful.” Rybakina has a tough draw at the WTA Finals, with the likes of Aryna Sabalenka, Qinwen Zheng, and Jasmine Paolini in her group. It’ll be interesting to see if she can make it to the knockout stage of the tournament. What do you think?
