23-year-old Rybakina represents Kazakhstan on the court, but the tennis player was born in Moscow.

The journalist asked if Rybakina condemns the war and Putin's actions, to which the champion replied " The media representative repeated the question, but again did not hear the specifics:.

" I didn't understand the second part of the question. For my part, I can only say that I represent Kazakhstan. I didn't choose where to be born.

People believed in me. Kazakhstan strongly supports me. Even today I heard a lot of support. I saw the flags. So I don't know how to answer your question"
