Elena Rybakina has not played a professional tournament since retiring in the second round of the last US Open in a match against Ponchet that never started. So, it's no surprise that two months later, there are many doubts about whether we will see her competing in the WTA Finals starting in just a week. At this point, the answer seems to be positive after the confirmation of her new team – she parted ways with Stefano Vukov – and seeing her training in Dubai with Simona Halep in recent days. It's clear that the Kazakh player won't arrive with much match practice or confidence, but she won't miss the appointment in Riyadh where she has earned the right to be after another great season.
Elena Rybakina shared this video to her IG account today, of her practicing with Simona Halep in Dubai. Great to see Elena back and with Simona, someone she has had epic matches with. pic.twitter.com/KQw0bPKXa6
