Big fan of Muchova. Has a great all-court game, skillful, good athlete, probably could crank up her service a bit, and seems prone to injury but is a chance whenever she plays. She should have been in this position a couple of years ago but here's hoping she can fulfill all of that potential!
The whole match was on the nerves 🫣😰 Especially the 1st and 3rd set... What a fight! Great job! Wish to win this tournament ✌🏼🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Yeah was so nervous for her!😰
me too! I saw that muchova was leading and I knew that ryba was going to try to comeback. You have to give it to her. She is powerful, shows strength , clean hitting and she has her speed. I hope she can stay healthy to be honest.
Muchova has an allround game, quite different from WTA baseline hitting so easy on eyes. Hope she can outsmart these big hitters!
Rybakina is more than just big hitter, boy
She’s so relaxed in pressure moments probably one of the reasons she’s so successful on court.
Relaxed and humble.
Love Rybakina. Her shot-making is just so fluid, it just looks so effortless.
Bravo Elena. It was not an easy match but the most important thing is that it was won. The final is getting closer, let's go Elena!
The game of Rybakina is really enthralling. If she maintains her determination in each step of the rally, she will become invicible armada. It will be far harder to vanquish Elena Rybakina within this stage. The fundamental intention of Rybakina is to perpetuate her dominance and mastery in each serve game in order to outclass the formidable adversaries easier. Many congratulations to Rybakina!
Elena is the cleanest hitting player in the WTA. Her style is powerful yet graceful. A very rare player nowadays.
Couldn't agree more. She is a better version of Petra K
There's two types of tall players. Awkward and gangly like Pliskova or elegant and graceful like Rybakina.
agree. Rybakina is one of my favorite players and try to see her play when I can.
@@ashokpadhy1100 I agree and Elena's quieter
correct. clean and powerful! that is her. And her elegance to top it off. Hard to find that
I knew this would be a good one. I was rooting for both ladies. They are both classy, no screaming, and Muchova will do some damage this year, if she can stay healthy.
I hope she stays healthy, she will be a nightmare for a lot of players in the early rounds, as a top player it is dangerous to see Karolina in the section of the draw. She is such creative player with wide array of shots.
That is what I was saying while watching this match. I didn't even hear a sigh between these two.
Classy is Krejcikova 👌
@@abhinavraj1001 She too is classy!
@@abhinavraj1001 Krejcikova is certainly classy but her game is different again to Muchova, I regard these two as the most talented of these Czech players. Krejcikova processes powerful and yet smooth ground shots of both wings, she can inject a sudden change in speed and angle.
강력한 서브는 모든선수의 원동력!!
So Happy for Muchova, She played great. She deserves to win titles, I hope she keeps going at it. She was playing against a player in top 3 strength, so that tells how well she played. I could tell, when she has something to lose, she starts hesitating. Her torso snap back becomes dampened and slow. (I will think about my own game thanks to this observation) So it becomes more arm and less whip. I really enjoy her game style, I hope to see more of it.
Rybakina always fighting to the end. Tough opponent to overcome though. Good win 🎉
Elena turned a Fairy tale into reality when She won Wimbledon at 23 years old last Summer... Furthermore She Is really humble, very talented, young and a beautiful young woman. She should be as popular as Emma Raducanu became when She Won US Open few years ago. Seriously, I support both of them, but for this in addition, I do not understand why Elena has not become a media star Like Emma did... I really Wish her to win a lot (especially completing the Grand Slam) and I think She could beat Iga in the next match!
She's not British.
@@zabaleta66 Yes overrated Britishers. Throwing their MBE etc at the bare minimum.
I'm thinking she likes it that way. No mishmash distractions like a Bouchard or a Kournikova.
Wimbledon not awarding ranking points in 2022 really messed things up for her rise. She would have easily been in the top 10 last year and would probably have gotten better draws at the US Open if they had given her the points. The way she's been playing since last year makes her a real threat to Iga Świątek. I say this because Iga lost to Aryna Sabalenka in the WTA Finals last year and Aryna + Elena have very similar styles. Also like others have said she's currently registered to be playing for Kazakhstan...not exactly a country known for GDP or funding. I became a huge fan of her after watching her play at Wimbledon last year and my admiration has only continued after her incredible run at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year. Fight on, Elena!
@@rocco... I think you're right. I see nothing wrong with players looking to make the most of their situation. A tennis career can be a fragile thing. Every player likes to think that they will be world number one but there's nothing wrong with making sure that you will be financially comfortable just in case things don't pan out exactly as you might like. I respect both ladies and wish them both well. I suspect that Ribakina probably wouldn't enjoy being in the spotlight at the moment. Maybe it will change later, maybe not. She should stick with whatever she feels most comfortable with.
Good match. Good closing by Rybakina.
What a fight! A very tough match for Rybakina, but with such matches you win titles. I hope Elena will win a lot of tournaments this year. Let's goooooo 🐠
I couldn't watch it fully but I wasn't expecting an easy win as probabilities said. Muchova is playing an amazing tennis this season since she stays healthy like Vekić gonna be back to top 20 for sure they're better than a lot in higher positions.
Rybakina Won. .tight match..Muchova Fighting back Good to see her back . She's played excellent to Get this far. As all the players. But Steady Rybakina. ..I hope she able to turn results around ..Re Australian open...By far the Most interesting player. And no grunts. Calm.. and Extremely Easy on the Eye...Well done both players . Especially Elena. ..
Rybakina....quiet but dangerous 😎
Elena calmly and quietly dispatches another opponent. 😊
Rybakina is just a tennis idol material as of the moment. Great qualities for sure.
great win for elena against a very tuff opponent .. muchova is so complete and skillful .. if she wouldnt have suffered so much with injuries she would be top 10 consistently .. hopefully she can stay injury free from now on .. shes a joy to watch 👏👏
I don't think she has injuries. Look at this game
@@ernar8926 obviously im talking about in the past look up her history .. otherwise you would see her in the top 10 .. she gets injured alot and can barely play back to back tournaments the last few years ..
@@lowkey.8448 stop talking about the past, fool. Injury is an absolute part of any tennis career.
@@lowkey.8448 Elena is coming from injuries from Dubai too
@@andreaho your comment shows me 2 things 1. you have never play any sports at a higher level otherwise you would know it depends what injuries and how often your injured 2. you cant even hold a conversation without insulting so instead of writing nonsense online work on yourself
There is something so 90s about Muchova's playing style
Good job, Ryb. Muc is not a slouch at all.
Love u Elena clean beautiful tennis without drama good luck again
This s the cutest quarterfinal match of the new era. Both are looking sweet. Both are adidas babies. Both are playing good tennis.
Congratz Rybakina.. Well done 😊
What a match!!! Unbelievabley tough is Rybakina!!! 🎉
Slightly in love with Rybakina...
Both were determined to win the match. Congrats Elena 👏
0:07 perfect😮
Hard work pays off...❤
Rybakina is one of the most impressive humans on the planet for me.
can u explain???
@@borisb9994 I could go on and on, but a big part of it for me despite the high achiever she already is, she does a really good job of not attracting any attention to herself, good or bad, which seems like it is impossible for most people in the world today to do. Everything she does is just extremely modest. There are no big gestures on the court, she is not corny in the interviews or have any of the antics that a lot of players start to develop once they become mega tennis stars because they think they have to have a personality. Iga Swiatek is the latest example of an obviously lovable lady, but because she has become a megastar, she is now trying a little bit hard to make like she has a bigger personality than she does with a lot of antics here and there when she can. I don't see any of that stuff with Rybakina. She is just awesome all-round.
wow same shes very special to me and i cant explain exactly why, and she is a rare kind of person
I almost forget how good Muchova is. Just a series of unfortunate injuries held her back.
What a great hard-fought win! If she’s in her game, there’s nobody on tour who could beat her. Maybe we’ll get a second final with Sabalenka
No from this match ...it's not easy with iga...May be a 6-3 6-4
Iga the witch
Well, Muchova definitely matched her in this match, they both ended up winning the same number of points. Muchova had a set point in the first set and won the second set handily.
I'd like Elena to win but Iga is going to be hard to beat.
hats off to muchova for putting on an impressive performance . ... ryba has so much power. I saw the last serve and how ryba won. Muchova (IMO) was guarding the outside side. So that to me as an enthusiast of tennis means that ryba is doing a good job of guarding her serve structure and delivery. So it is harder for her opponent to guess or get a clue as to where she is going to serve. Out wide or straight up. I mean it is a noble effort from the opponent and it shows how towering and elegant Elena can be. Can I be your lover please?? I think you are angelic elena. edit: I keep watching Muchovas certain shots. Some of Muchova's shots are very technical and forgoe the overpowering nature and technique just for the placement and structure of winning the point. Subtle but extremely effective on taking on a hugely elegant , powerful and clean hitting player that has such huge advantage.
Congratulation my Elena my winner
The game could have gone either way. Astounding performance from both players. Rybakina will be No. 1 soon, and Muchova will not be far behind.
Наша Лена всех краше! 👍🇰🇿💐
Elena! 🔥👍🏻
Wow epic semifinals line up Sakkari Vs sabalenka 🔥 Swiatek Vs rybakina 🔥
Great match between two highly skilled players with none of the drama and histrionics. Could have gone either way.
Rybakina is a pretty stacked adversary, on the tennis court. Jeez. Plus. She's good at focusing on ONE point, if she needs it, especially on her serve. Such an easy game to watch. I don't think I've seen anyone in tennis, with the natural gifts AND the skill for winning matches. I remember Mandlikova had that ease on the court, maybe even more than Rybakina, but she lost every significant match in her career, basically. Rybakina is AWEsome.
Rybakina is my favorite player because of the right mix of beautiful strokes and nice all around image…
Rybaqueeeena
New fan , let’s get to the final ! Go Elena
Congrats to Elena! As usual, Elena displayed her mental toughness and emerged victorious. Muchova was playing well also. Most of the top women players are really good and their skills are separated by a few points. One or two lucky points can alter the outcome of a match. Most of the women hit like Serena now. Give them an easy floater and they will try to blast the ball through their opponents.
Easy or rough, long or short, she is still the winner after matches are done so far in this 1000 tournament, it is worth waiting to watch her match from morning till now.
Two of my faves.
Congrats rybakina! 👏👏
That smash on set point hurts a lot.. poor moment for Karolina
This lady is turning to be a real champion,both players played very well ,rabykina is amazing as always ,keep shining 👍👍💪
Молодчина Елена 👍👍👍💪💪💪🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿👏👏👏
If she can keep her first serve percentage above 60% it's going to be a tough day at the office for Iga.
Dang two of my favourites.
A bit sad only one can be the winner. But Karolina really measured up well against the top women in the game.
I thought that's not Elena day but she came back even two times so that's the characteristic of big champions to just win in the end. I think sometimes she's trying to do something spectacular when there's no need to and loses the points because of that.
Honestly, I think she's the 3rd best player in the world right now and if she had points from Wim last year she'd probably be there. The semi's are gonna be FUN!
Lol. Iga is the 3rd best. Elena can beat anybody who’s ever played. It’s up to her. 😂
I think she is the second behind Iga, I think it's 1-Igga, 2-Ryba, 3-Saba, 4 Pegula and then the others
@@dandresaldi watch their last 2 matches against each other
iga, arynna, elena and barbora have better chance to win grand slam and master compare to the rest
@@dandresaldiPegula?! She's consistent but lacks that special something that separates the best from the following pack.
Rybakina has the kwon, she is gorgeous, Athletic and has a lot of talent. I hope she win this tournament.
Елена! Россия за тебя болеет!!!👍👍👏👏🤝🤝
💯👍🎉
Epic 😳😳, common ryba win IW😍
Go Elena Well done
Браво Елена ты лучшая. Алға Қазақстан
первой подачи нет! в ней у нее преимущество против швентек!
@@zzzzzzz4482 Есть ощущение что она немного травмирована или уставшая, не играет в полную силу и нет такой уверенности и точности.
@@zzzzzzz4482 Ига слила + Петерсон -Гауфф тоже слив + Носкова Анисимова много чет слливов а вот тут как раз честная игра Рыбакина еле играет ) а швентек прям уничтожила ) смешно много догов Пегула тоже честно когда играют видно эмоции они же не все актеры что б уметь сливать красиво ) кто то палится а кто то умеет) Рыбакову тянут хотят Шарапову наподобие ) шоу просмотры деньги) честно играет Медведев Рубль они сами видно же по глаза когда их погоняли по корту и выйграли очко они сука злые и мстят вот эмоции видно ) незря же когда молодые играют там сливы и доги на втором месте там звание и уважение признание вот и поэтому много баранок 6-4 6-0 что то в этом духе или хоккей Канада -Россия самое кайф ставить и смотреть когда честно видишь борьбу а не имитацию игры! сам же знаешь если ставишь )
молодец рыбка) просто уничтожила свентек) не дала играть)умка! всем коментаторам и прогнозистам утерла нос) жарайсың

Doua jucătoare foarte talentate!!
Bravo Elena
Елена жарайсың🇰🇿🔥👏
It had been a very close fight but the final outcome Elena won again such a great relief to see my favorite and amazing sweet charming lady win the tournament and put all the screamers quiet.
VERY IMPRESSIVE GAME FROM RYBAKINA...
Sad to see either one of these ladies lose, love them both.
Czech Republic has many quality players on WTA. Besides Muchova, Krejcikova, Kvitova, Siniakova, Fruhvirtova, Pliskova, Bouzkova, and upcoming teenager, Noskova.
@@pnmetronariston4112 which "Russia players" do you mean???
@@pnmetronariston4112 Sabalenka is from Belarus, Rybakina from Kazachstan.
@@KowalskyLeon BelaRUS is just a historical part of Russia, just like Ukraine (name it is formed from the Russian word "Окраина" - Outskirts). They even speak Russian there. And Kazakh citizenship for Rybakina is just a formality, she is Russian and lives in Moscow. And he doesn't even know a single word in Kazakh. 😑
MUCH EFFORTS FROM BOTH. BUT ELENA NAILED IT👏❤️🔥
My girl Rybakina 😁
The one Who can defeat IGA is Rybakina
And also Krejcikova and Sobolenko. 😊
Congrats to Elena
Greetings and congratulations from Borat!!!! Jak sie Masz!
Now Iga is Damn nervous 😂
Not just great but SUPER GREAT WIN sor ELENA. Next stop, Semis vs Iga. GOOD LUCK , I'm on Elena's side
She just won her semi 6-2, 6-2 🎉
@@sinic1978 WOW, I LOVE IT. A very humble young lady.
Vamos Elena sigue así hasta el final
Muchova gave her all. But the Rybakina train rolls on. Congratulations.
Muchova could be like Barty type player. She has the variety and athleticism. If she could develop her slice and use it a bit more to turn the points in her favor, she could stay top 10. Just so hard mentally to pull it all together when you have variety like that, but she has always impressed me with her game. Her injuries unfortunately do sometimes hinder her progress.
No barty she's is Mochova
Леночка, молодец! Болеем за тебя!!! 👍💪👋🏆😀
I really liked the second set highlights
Very sad for Muchova, great match though
Rybakina 44 winners vs 23 y Muchova I think that Rybakina deserved more victory
@@ayan1612 they both won 106 points of 212, it was a complete 50/50.
@@giamiramontes5639 Muchova won more points in the second set, which makes it look like 50-50.For example, in the match Khachanov vs Davidovich Fokina. Khachanov won more points than Fokina, but this does not mean that he was better and how Muchova just sat in defense waiting for an error.For example, in the match Khachanov vs Davidovich Fokina. Khachanov won more points than Fokina, but this does not mean that he was better and how Muchova just sat in defense waiting for an error
@@ayan1612 she was forcing errors, there's a difference than unforced errors. Defense can win just as much as offense. I understand it's more pleasing and easier to reward offensive play, but to say someone is more deserving in a close match like this is just biased. Obviously, there can only be one winner and she'll play the next round; salut to her.
@@ayan1612 Muchova has the type of game that she can play both the defender and aggressor. On numerous occasions, she took on Rybakina's second serve aggressively and punish the serve by teeing off or forcer her way to the net. She has that 90s-type game in that she followed her good shots into the net to finish off the point, she also uses angle, off-pace shots. In a way I think Karolina Muchova is slightly less aggressive than Caroline Garcia but her defensive skill is better than Garcia. Muchova's court movement is certainly near her peak in this match.
Excelente Jelena a semis!
Was a close match, but Rybakina still showing how great of a player she is
Rybakina the Terminator
It was a not surprising but also surprising match. Rybakina is favored of moving to the semi, but if you see a longer highlight that Muchova almost got her if there wasn't the big rare error. Semi against Iga would be interesting.
I like Rybakina, but she is an unforced errors machine
Totally agree. She has to clean her game because like it's now she ends up losing all long rallies, and that won't get her over Iga or Sabalenka (unless she is serving great, but that has not been the case lately).
Compared to people that his as strong as her she is not
Her game is overall very risky and agressive so that's why she tends to make many UE and many winners as well
Rybakina. IS FAKE . TODAY STATS : 36 UNFORCED ERRORS, LESS WINNERS, ALMOST EVEN STATS . AND SHE WON ? AT FIRST MATCH POINT RYBAKINA LOST THE GAME. BOTH ARE DRAGGING MEDIOCRITY. NEXT, IGA. GUESS WHAT ? SHE KILLS IGA ?
Rybakina can still have 4 unforced and still 4 winners in one game
Too bad the first set slipped through her fingers...Muchova's tennis is very spectacular and really nice to watch...
Muchova should be in top 20, she's been playing good all year and literally is flying in the ranking, plus she has no points to defend
Take good care of her injuries, & then we’ll see how the beautiful Muchova does.
Can't say the whole year but the last month was definitely good until then couldn't handle long matches
Лена молодец! Болею и переживаю за тебя!!! Ждем реванша!!!
Pretty even match: both players won the same amount of points. Perhaps, Elena didn't have her best outing but Muchova had something to do with it. Nice to see the whole match. Unfortunately I was half asleep during the second set of the Alcaraz match 🤣
ER ❤
Молодец Алга Казахстан,
ELENAAAAAAAA
Алга,Сары кыз💪💪💪
With a big serve as a weapon, Rybakina could bring her game to the next level if she could develop her volleying and dropshot skills; it is a big ask but she is still young and has time. Her ground strokes are decent but not as effective as her top 10 peers when the rallies get extended so shortening the rallies is to her advantage.
🎉🎉🎉
Рыбка солнце ❤
easy final for Rybakina now. give her the title trophy now.
😅
Жаным💛
those courts are kinda tricky, the ball bounces high and the thin air of the desert makes the ball float, Rybakina managed to win but the fast courts in Australia suit her style of play better
Yes and this is a chance for Iga!
I thought Elena would win on two, if somewhat easy. She is either not top shape here or Karolina has actually been playing well this tournament. If Elena is not top form and something is wrong, Iga may beat her next (I doubt Cirstea has a chance against Iga).
Elena was not fast, had no drop shot, did not serve well, and committed too many unforced errors.
Muchova is def underrated, she's been playing good all year, losses are usually pretty close and just has had not the most generous draws. she was a top 20 player, and is pretty talented, just injured often
@@hjander Rybakina made fewer unforced errors than winners, while Muchova, on the contrary, had more unforced errors than winners, and if you looked at these winners, Muchova was near the net
Iga may beat her next even if she is in top form
@@LordFluffymort yes but Iga didn't have strong opponents in this tournament either, The highest rated #36 Andrescu
