Thank you to the Australian Open for giving us highlights like no one else! Show this to anyone who calls women's tennis boring
It's not as intense and fast as men's tennis, but it's not boring.
Except the game of Grigor Dimitrov which was banned.Fucking Aussie nation of ex convict.
It's not that it's necessarily boring, it's that it's boring relative to the men's game. If you have a choice between watching men's tennis and women's tennis, you watch men's tennis.
Nah. The fun in the women's game are the upsets and the drama.
These are the kinda comments that made women's tennis boring...too sexist
The point at 17-18 was absolute incredible defense by Blinkova. Amazing resilience!
The last Annas ball hits to out, so so pity, Elena tries to fight it...Maybe of a big stress.
17-18 is unforgetable ))
Think that was the turning point for her! Amazing resilience!

I can never believe it when she loses, I think Rybakina is awesome! Love her game and demeanor.
Rybakina is a very boring player though. Never shows any emotion. Good or bad..😮

Aussie open is just amazing this year Greatest tie breaker ever
I woke up at a crazy hour to watch this match and could not believe my eyes during that unbelievable tiebreak. Hats off to both Blinkova and Rybakina - this one truly deserved to be called EPIC.

Go Blinky!!!!

Incredible tie-break! Congrats to Blinkova!🎉🎉 Such will power and concentration!🤯😤💪 Feel for Rybakina!!😢😓
I don’t, for a player of Elena’s class she was way too sloppy, far to often she just could not keep the ball in play.
@@richardmacey3619 Agree 100% Way too many unforced errors for a player that caliber. The worse for her is that she could have gotten away with it, how many match points again ? Great player, love her game and behavior

The definition of perseverance in the dictionary should link to this tiebreak at the end. What a great show by two warriors.
The best drama on television. I was glued to my screen for every second. Blinkova showed true grit and determination. She never gave up. What an inspiration to us all!

Prior to this match, the longest tie-breaks in mens or womens Slam history were: 20-18 Tsurenko v Bogdan (Wimbledon 2023) 20-18 Tsonga v Roddick (AO 2007) This was insane.
Tsonga...14 years ago!!!
@@iansmirna5183 That one you mention is and will undoubtedly continue to be the longest match of all time, but there was no tiebreaker in the fifth set. They finished 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(7), 7-6(3), 70*-68 (those are games*)

А я и так был не толстым, а теперь дрыщ!... Спасибо теннису и вам, девушки!👍👏👏👏 Пойду отдохну и поем. 😊
закусывать надо 😂
Блинкова молодец !!! Каким азартом и настроем она сыграла игру, которого не было у Рыбакиной. Как казахстанец я ждал победы Рыбакиной. К сожалению она выбыла из турнира. Ей надо менять некомпетентного тренера Вукова и взять в команду хорошего психолога. Иначе в рейтинге тенисисток она непродержится в первой, даже во второй десядке
Super tie break, love both ❤❤
What a wonderful tiebreaker game it was. Kudos to both player. So impressive ❤

Incredible!! Not to take anything away from Blinkova, but in this tiebreak, it was more for Rybakina to win it or lose it! A lot of Blinkova's points were from errors of Elena. A LOT!!!
Well rybakina making errors means that blinkova was great at outlasting her

I stopped watching this match in the third set after Rybakina was broken as I expected her to lose. I had work in the morning and needed to sleep. I had no idea I would wake up and see that she not only brought it back, but produced an epic record breaking tie-break. Can't believe I missed the chance to watch live the tiebreaker of my generation 😭
Great battle!!! Elena had enough chances winning this game...but this day Anna was the lucky one...! That's life! 😊

Хера се они зарубились 😅😅😅 !! Ничего подобного не видел даже у мужчин когда между собой играли Пит Сампрас и Андре Агасси, Джокович и Надаль, Надаль и Федерер и.т.д. Молодцы девчули выдали один из самых наверное напряженных, эмоциональных и продолжительных тай - брейков в истории тенниса !!
Хачюхин. Согласен с тобой !
Тоже согласен ,помню те матчи ,но этот просто улёт ноздря в ноздрю и всё таки Анна подстёгивая себя ,видно по губам было выцарапала победу ,это сколько на тае матч-болов было и у одной и у другой ,такое впечаталось на всю оставшуюся ❤🎉
Нихрена какой ты старый!??? Почти как я!!🤣🥎🤣
А кстати, там в конце видео не Агасси подошёл на обнимашки с группой поддержки? Уж очень похож.
@@kokoc7697 вроде он
Wow, upset of the tournament BY FAR. What a battle, Rybakina reminds me of Steffi Graf in a way b/c when her game is okay she can still beat most everyone but if she's having a little bit of an off day, she doesn't really have any other game plan and someone who is super consistent and tenacious can beat her in a close match. Blinkova was the Arantxa Sanchez Vicario here. Rybakina is such a calm person on court, I thought she would pull through for sure! Wow a lot of ppl probably lost a bunch of money on their bets.
Pretty certain Graf had 'another game plan'. She won 22 majors FFS. Compare Rybakina to any of the droves of very good players who are great at their best but beatable by many others on bad days.
Thank you for being an amazing fan. How long have you been following us
Shocking result. Rybakina is a class act but she had so many unforced errors here. A bit dramatic but the quality wasn't that high.
Elena, by far the better player, but so many unforced errors, Blinkova deserved to win through sheer guts and determination. Strange how Elena can be so brutal when she’s on her game, but c an also be so passive and sloppy. I think a change of coach would be good for her. On her day she can outclass Sabalenka or Iga.

Then Blinkova Gets knocked out in the 3rd round😅😅😅 !
Thanks for the tow players for this high level of tennis
"It's a sprint, it's a 10 point tiebreak." Turned into quite a marathon!
You can see that the ball literally was going to out by 18-17 and Rybakina unfortunately tried to hit the ball😢
So so pity, it was really out. But Elena in that crazy situation was too trying do the best.

Been watching woman's tennis for year/decades , keep up the great efforts to keep enhancing the game,until@@SofiaKenin-wm9to
Елена! Несмотря на проигранный матч играла отлично !Просто надо извлечь из этого для себя определённый урок. Ни в коем случае не вешать нос и побольше уверенности в игре, не плыть по течению , а брать быка за рога и переводить игру в свою пользу. Смотреть как играют другие и перенимать , что понравилось, то есть развиваться. Всё должно быть нормально. Не отчаиваться и не сдаваться. Удачи!
Рыбакина играет без спортивной злости. При таком отношении к игре она далеко не пойдёт. Видели, с каким стремлением к победе сама себя подструнивая сыграла Блинкова. Рыбакиной надо учится у Соболенко, которая сегодня выйграв очередной раунд вышла на шестой подряд полуфинал большого шлёма. А для этого я думаю Елене надо сменить команду. В первую очередь тренера Вукова. И взять в команду хорошего психолога
I am glad this was played on the main court; 18-17 point was amazing!
Hasta lloré 😊. Felicidades a las dos. ❤

Extraordinarily resilient mentally and physically, it cost a lot of sacrifice 😮
That was really intense!
29:01 the 😂 on the umpire’s face. Fantastic tiebreak.
I really like Rybakina, so heartbreaking. They really played hard.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I watched live on tv but i was scared to watch and switched off the tv coz it was so intense. I only wanted to google it to find who won. Every time i Google they keep on going. It really worsen my night. My wife said they won't even share a penny to you and why you are so trouble. I told her No you don't feel what i feel 😂. Anyway greatest tie breaker in the history of tennis happen in Australia buy this two ladies.😊🎉
Grande Blinkova!! Vamos!!
This was so emotionally demanding for us spectators. My eyes were filled with tears of joy for the winner. This is the true beauty of sport. This also shows the gravity of women sport today. If this is the caliber of players we have today, the sector is just blossoming. It takes us away from the ugliness of the various conflicts around the world.
At 16-16 the announcer says, "I don't know whether to cry or throw up." Imagine how these two powerful athletes felt if the announcer wanted to throw up! Sports can sometimes have moments when you don't want either person to win or lose. I hope Blinkova has time to rest before her next match. Thanks AO for posting the entire tie break.
二人共、素晴らしい!!
Both players were awesome!
This video is the biggest and healthiest antidepressant for me. No matter how many times I watch it, I feel happier. I love Elena. I love Anna. But I feel happier.
