Tennis sensation Elena Rybakina has arrived at Indian Wells 2025 to prepare for the forthcoming marquee event. The world number seven was seen at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, with practice sessions commencing even before the main draws begin on March 5, Wednesday.
A plethora of top WTA and ATP players have headed to tune up the tournament, and all practice sessions are open for the fans this time. Meanwhile, 2025 Australian Open winner Madison Keys was also seen engaging at the Indian Wells just one day ago with Elena Rybakina.
The two top tennis players, known for their powerful hitting, were seen exchanging high-intensity points. Notably, 29-year-old Keys is aiming to win Indian Wells 2025, hoping to prove her critics.
After the BNP Paribas Open, the star player will make her way to the Miami Open 2025, and before Roland Garros 2025, she will be participating in Charleston, Madrid, and Italy.
Rybakina had a practice session on the main courts. The video of her practicing at the nets has gone viral on social media, with fans hailing her dedication to the upcoming WTA 1000 event.

Barbara Schett opens up on Elena Rybakina's coach Stefano Vukov ban
Meanwhile, the controversy surrounding Elena Rybakina and her, coach Stefano Vukov, has drawn major attention from former world number seven Barbara Schett. Schett's perspective highlights the complexities of the situation, particularly concerning the dynamics of their relationships.
“In my opinion, he subjected Elena to complete brainwashing. You can see how he treats her and how he speaks to her. Things escalated at the 2024 US Open and the team and family tried to remove him. We know that she has major ups and downs mentally, probably because of him. He definitely abused her mentally and that’s why I think it’s right that he was banned from the WTA. I heard in Australia what he shouted from the players’ box. That is simply not acceptable,” Barbarat Schett told German sports magazine, Kicker, in a recent interview.
