Referring to that remark, she was later asked how her low expectations helped her in winning the tournament. Replying to this, she said:

"I guess I was not putting too much pressure on myself. It’s a lot of challenges when you come from tournament to tournament, even if it’s not a long travel. You need to get used to the new conditions, new balls, learning how to control them. We did only two days of practice, and I went right into my first match. It was not easy," said Elena Rybakina.

"But the advantage I had was the serve, that’s what we were focusing on because we knew in the longer rallies I wouldn’t be feeling so confident because we just arrived. I was trying to go for early shots. I was really aggressive, I would say, the whole tournament. The best players, they will give you some chances but not that much. I was taking everything as soon as possible."

In the same interview, Elena Rybakina was asked about her vacation plans. She revealed that she will be spending a couple of days in Europe in different cities.
