Rybakina ready to put Ivanisevic insight to the test at United Cup

The Hindu  

Former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina expressed confidence Thursday that her new partnership with Novak Djokovic’s former coach Goran Ivanisevic will pay dividends, starting at the mixed-teams United Cup. “We had a couple of weeks together, Goran’s a fun guy,” said Rybakina, the beaten finalist in the 2023 Australian Open. Rybakina is looking to make up for last season’s disappointment after winning three titles in her first eight tournaments before being sidelined by a back problem and illness. Here you can face good players, I’m looking forward to the start.” In Friday’s other tie, Brazil face China, who are without world number five Zheng Qinwen after she pulled out of the tournament saying she needed more rest ahead of the Australian Open from January 12.
