Elena Rybakina's outfit for the 2024 Australian Open has been released, and it is very different from last year's look.
Rybakina, who is set to start her 2024 season in Brisbane, had a memorable run at the Grand Slam in Melbourne this year. She narrowly lost in the final to Aryna Sabalenka in one of the matches of the season.
The Kazakhstani star graced the courts during that run in a black Adidas top, and her shoes were also black. Her top and shoes contrasted with a pair of very colorful shorts to complete the look.
Rybakina's outfit this year has been created by Yonex. The style is a sharp contrast to 2023's outfit and will add a large amount of brightness to the courts in Melbourne.
The former Wimbledon champion's top is a distinctive shade of yellow. It is a slightly dark shade of the colour, but will still a bring a strong element of lightness to the court, and is a great look for the 24-year-old.
Rybakina will be wearing a skirt at the opening Grand Slam of the year, after electing to go with shorts this year. The skirt is blue, and continues the theme of brightness from the top.
Rybakina's shoes are a much lighter shade of blue. Her 2024 Australian Open outfit is completed with a white hat and a wristband that is the same colour as her top.
Last year's runner-up is likely to feel great when she travels to Melbourne for the Australian Open after the memories from last year. The Yonex outfit should only add to that feeling.
Rybakina will hope that her tennis in 2024 can dazzle even more than her outfit. The Kazakhstani is on the entry list for Adelaide before the Australian Open, and will hope to build some momentum before the first Grand Slam of the year begins.
