Elena Rybakina Wins Porsche Without a Driver's License

Elena Rybakina, the world's fourth-ranked tennis player, has added a brand-new Porsche to her collection after winning the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. However, the Kazakh star has a unique dilemma: she doesn't have a driver's license.

Rybakina's lack of a license stems from her nomadic lifestyle on the tennis tour. "I wanted to do it already long time, but I never have chance to be at one place for long," she explained. "I did already couple of lessons. I was driving, but yeah, for sure [getting her license] that's the goal for this year outside of the court."

Rybakina isn't the first Stuttgart champion to win a Porsche without the proper paperwork. In 2018, Karolina Pliskova joked that her twin sister, Kristyna, could drive her around. Last year, Pliskova confirmed she still owns the car and lets her husband drive it.

Rybakina plans to share the driving duties with her coach, Stefano Vukov, and her mother, Ekaterina, in Dubai. "Hopefully, me soon," she said with a grin.

Despite her lack of a license, Rybakina is determined to get one this year. "With this car, if I win, it's going to be one double goal. Hopefully, I finish it this year," she added.

Rybakina's victory in Stuttgart is her third title of the season, following wins in Adelaide and Melbourne. She is now one of the favorites for the upcoming French Open, which begins on May 22.
