Elena Rybakina has been in blistering form since her heartbreaking loss to Anna Blinkova in the second round of the Australian Open this year. The tiring match saw the longest tiebreak ever played in women’s tennis history in the second set, with forty-two points played.

She has since made it to four finals in the five tournaments that she has played, not counting Indian Wells where she withdrew before her first match. Rybakina has won two of these finals, at Abu Dhabi and Stuttgart. Despite some injury concerns, she has been one of the most consistent players on the WTA tour and she believes she can continue the sensational form into the French Open. The Kazakh fancied her chances to win the title in Paris during a press conference held after her final at Stuttgart, where she ousted Marta Kostyuk in straight sets.
