Elena Rybakina isn't someone who likes to hear herself talk. She keeps things short and sweet – and that's exactly how she plays tennis.

The first Kazakhstani tennis player to win a major tournament, she's one of the most exciting players on the WTP tour right now and her service game is unique in the women's game. 'Boom-Boom-Elena' is the name she's often known by in the tennis tour bubble. "Of course, the key to my success lies in my serve and my aggressive game," she says of her famous power. Hardly anyone on the tour hits harder.
