However, the British press does not seem very happy with Elena’s victory. Elena Rybakina personally took the Wimbledon Cup from the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. “The British authorities’ worst nightmare has come true,” writes The Sun. “What a disgrace! Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge had to present the main prize of Wimbledon 2022 to Muscovite Elena Rybakina!

Recall that since 2018, Elena Rybakina has represented the Kazakhstan national team at international competitions. The athlete made such a decision (judging by what he wrote in the sports world), after additional funding was refused in Russia, while Kazakhstan, on the contrary, believed in the strength and abilities of the athlete.
