Elena Rybakina is enjoying her off-the-court time ahead of the 2025 Wimbledon, a tournament she won against all odds in 2022. Before beginning her 2025 grasscourt season, the Kazakh was spotted attending Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour in London this week with fellow tennis star Yulia Putintseva.

Rybakina endured a tough start to her WTA Tour campaign earlier this year, dropping nine of her first 19 matches to fall outside the women's top 10 for the first time since 2023. The former World No. 3 then picked up her ninth pro singles title at the Internationaux de Strasbourg last month before reaching the fourth round of the French Open, where she fell to three-time defending champion Iga Swiatek in three sets.

Elena Rybakina is currently set to compete at the inaugural WTA edition of the Queen's Club Championships and will face local favorite Heather Watson in the second round of the 500-level event on Thursday, June 12. The 25-year-old chose to let her hair down ahead of her campaign in London, going to the UK leg of $600 million-worth American singer Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' tour on Wednesday, June 11.

Rybakina was accompanied by World No. 27 and fellow Kazakh Yulia Putintseva at the gig, who had never spotted hanging out together before. Putintseva shared a video on Instagram stories where both tennis players were seen enjoying the concert.

After her Queen's Club campaign, the World No. 11 will play at the Berlin Ladies Open, which will run from June 14 to June 22. Although the Kazakh hasn't put together great results on the women's tour in 2025, she can take pride in having reached at least the quarterfinals of five events - the United Cup, the Abu Dhabi Open, the Qatar Open, the Dubai Tennis Championships, and the Internationaux de Strasbourg.

Elena Rybakina will be eager to do well at 2025 Wimbledon - a tournament where she has amassed an impressive 19-3 win-loss record in four main draw appearances.

She secured her maiden major title victory at SW19 three years ago in a scintillating fashion. Seeded 17th back then, she downed higher-ranked opponents like Simona Halep and Ons Jabeur en route to her triumph at the prestigious grasscourt major.

During her title defense in 2023, Rybakina made it to the last eight in women's singles, losing to the previous year's runner-up Jabeur in three sets. The then-World No. 4 subsequently recorded her second career semifinal result at Wimbledon in 2024, where she came up short against eventual winner Barbora Krejcikova in the three-set affair.
