Elena Rybakina registered an easy win over Germany’s Greet Minnen 6-2, 6-3 on Tuesday (May 28th) at Roland Garros. After the match, during the press conference, the Kazakh seemed unimpressed with the repetitive questions of the journalists. 

Rybakina was asked how she felt physically as compared to last year when she had to withdraw from her second match. Then the journalist asked how the conditions affected her during the match against Minnen. 

YouTube video
No, it didn't affect me in any way. I mean I know how to play in different conditions, so I mean for sure physically I am much better than last year since I had to withdraw as I had Covid but I am much better. The questions are quite the same, so I don’t know what to say anymore. 
Elena Rybakina said 

A journalist asked her what are the things she needed to do to lift a title. Rybakina said she just does the basic things.

It's quite basic, you need to work hard. Do usually the things usually you don't want to do. And…simple questions, simple answers. So, guys, something else?

Netizens react to Elena Rybakina’s answers during the press conference 

A fan said Elena Rybakina doesn’t know how to answer questions and if the same question was asked to Novak Djokovic or Naomi Osaka, they would have given some interesting answers. At the same time, another fan felt that it must be tiring for the journalists to ask the same questions again and again.

A fan simply called the journalists annoying, while a few said these journalists don’t watch the match and end up asking generic questions. One fan wrote that the journalists should ask her about her stance on the Russia-Ukraine war. 

Another fan defended the journalists by saying it’s Rybakina’s answers that are boring, while one fan joked, saying the journalists should ask the Kazakh questions like “Is water wet?” or “What’s your favorite conspiracy theory?“

After her first-round win, Rybakina will be facing Arantxa Rus, who defeated former World No.1 and three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber 6-4, 6-3. This will be the third time they will face, having previously locked horns in the 2018 US Open and 2022 Roland Garros.
