MELBOURNE : Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina shrugged off having to play Monday's Australian Open first round match on an outer court at Melbourne Park, saying she did not care where she competed as long as she can cap it off with confidence-boosting wins.

"Of course if I think about Wimbledon it was great and it gave me confidence but it was special conditions there and maybe I didn't the benefit which Grand Slam champions normally get," 22nd seed Rybakina told reporters.
