Slovak President Peter Pellegrini hosted tennis star Jelena Rybakina at the Presidential Palace to congratulate her on her US Open victory. Rybakina, who represents Kazakhstan, recently secured her third Grand Slam title after defeating Aryna Sabalenka in the final, a win that also solidified her position as the world number one.

Rybakina, who has trained in Bratislava since the early stages of her career, considers Slovakia her second home. During the visit, she presented President Pellegrini with her tennis racket. The athlete noted that she frequently uses Slovakia for her training preparations due to the suitable conditions and the environment provided in Bratislava.
