Elena Rybakina’s Intense Madrid Training Session (Photograph: X)
Tennis star Elena Rybakina was spotted practicing at the Mutua Madrid Open 2025. The Kazakh star was seen gearing up for the first WTA 1000 clay season after her recent stint at the Billie Jean King Cup. The 25-year-old star player is yet to win her first-ever title of this season.
She showcased horrendous performances in the recently concluded Miami Open 2025, where she suffered a first-round exit. In addition, she crashed out in the pre-quarters of Indian Wells 2025. Rybakina must be looking to stage her comeback in the Madrid Open, taking place in the Spanish capital. The star player was seen indulging herself in the intense practice session ahead of her first round, which is slated to take place on April 25th.
How have fans reacted to Rybakina's practice video?
The video of her practice session has been widely shared on social media, with fans hailing her determination and grit to win the WTA titles. It's worth noting that she has recently welcomed a new strength and conditioning trainer named Aldo Chiari. The 25-year-old star player unveiled this news on April 16, 2025, through her Instagram account.

Meanwhile, the tennis player has pulled out from the ongoing Stuttgart Open 2025. The defending champion prioritized the Billie Jean King Cup over defending her title in Stuttgart.
"I know that the schedule overall is very packed, and it’s not easy to even schedule Billie Jean King Cup,. But ideally, if we go to one part of the world, it will be nicer to play the same part. Now, for example, the clay court [season] starts and [some have] already played even tournaments on clay. So to come back and play hard, it’s a bit tricky. And ideally, if there is a tournament, it’s better to schedule it closer to where we want to be," Elena Rybakina said.
