The WTA's resident daredevils are back at it. Elena Rybakina and her sister, Anna, visited Abu Dhabi's Ferrari World ahead of the former Wimbledon champion's third visit to the Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open.

Ferrari World, located on Yas Island, opened in 2010 and boasts more than 40 rides and attractions, including the Formula Rossa, which bills itself at the world's fastest roller coaster. The ride accelerates to a top speed of 149.1 mph in 4.9 seconds using a hydraulic launch system.

Yas Island is also home to the Yas Marina Circuit, which has hosted the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix since 2009.

The Rybakinas were joined by Elena Rybakina's coach, Stefano Vuko, for their outing, which was chronicled by the WTA's official social media channels. The behind-the-scenes clip also showed fans the sisters' photo from their rollercoaster ride, where the always-unflappable Elena Rybakina is fittingly, more stoic than her always-expressive elder sister.

The sisters have made visiting theme parks somewhat of a familty tradition in recent years. Last spring, after Rybakina finished as runner-up to Petra Kvitova at the Miami Open, they spent a day at.Universal Studios in Orlando and chronicled it on social media.

Rybakina is the top seed in Abu Dhabi, and will face the winner of the first-round match between Naomi Osaka and Danielle Collins in the second round.
