At the 2022 Wimbledon, Elena Rybakina lifted her maiden Grand Slam title but many expected a bigger celebration after her triumph.

Two weeks of hard work and finally, the championship point converted. Whole crowd applauds to the new Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, who doesn't appear to realize that she's just won a Grand Slam title. It looked like a celebration after winning a first round from Rybakina and she explained why she didn't do anything extraordinary at the post-match press conference.

“It’s so unexpectable these two weeks, what happened. It was such a tough match mentally and physically, so in the end I was just super happy that it finished. In this moment I just didn’t believe that I made it."

“I didn’t know what to do. It was shocking. I don’t know, maybe because I believe that I can do it deep inside. But same time it’s, like, too many emotions. I was just trying to keep myself calm. Maybe one day you will see huge reaction from me, but unfortunately not today.”

“I was super nervous. Yesterday I had a good practice. But in the evening I already started to feel like I’m too nervous. In the morning also. Not going to lie. Today I was too stressed out. I think I didn’t enjoy it as much as I should maybe. I enjoyed the semi-final more. I don’t know why. I played also very well that match. I’m going to enjoy for sure maybe tomorrow, maybe when everything is going to be calm.”
