Oui moi je crois au double pr sabalenka
Love the hug and convo at the end bet the two 😊
Them's friends!
@@ricklee5845I don't think so. But obviously there is mutual respect and admiration.
@@apaarmaheshwari8673 they are personal friends. maybe not besties
If Saba would have lost the convo would not be fun. I love both though.
@@networth00I think you didn't watch previous meetings of both..They are good friends only at the time of game they are serious.....
I love Rybakina's humble character. What a sweet girl. She deserves all the best.
Wish she had an OnlyFans.
How can you like her looser attitude?
Like how do you know she is sweet? She always has a poker face and bearly talks. We don't know true Elena.
@enzoneable I just feel it in my heart. Her face talks by itself. She didn't even have a car. No driving licence at her age. She won her 1st car, a Porshe, after winning Stuttgart Open. So this is a girl who is not running after fame or show off. She's humble and modest at heart, and most of the crowd like that.
@@NJC2874 Barcelona Open? Not Stuttgart?;)
The intensity of this match should be justified by the popularity of this video. It should be one of the most popular video of WTA channel.
Wish only, it’s not even watch by 30k at the moment…
Jealous attitude runs The world@@maxpol007
@@maxpol007 I will keep checking this thread and possibly report the numbers here to rally for this video.😀
see the live pages who can believe it is only a semifinal of a 1000 wta
those 2 remindes me of Djokovic and Nadal i love them both
I love Sabalenka - Rybakina matches . 2 polar opposite personalities. Matches are full of big powerful shots and huge serves , but at the same these 2 respect each other. There is always a good hug and convo regardless of who wins.
True. 👍👍👍👍👍
lot of respect yes oooh how we need these 2 in wta !!!!!
@@user-re5fq5ew9w You are right. They mutually respect each other and are great friends and awesome fighters and athletes. Plus they are good looking and are very friendly.
WTA, why is precious highlight time wasted by showing players approaching and sitting down when that time could have gone towards showing more tiebreaker points?
They could give us both, but whoever runs that department is not a good person.
I don't watch WTA clips I call them "clips" not highlights I only come to read comments I don't know how you summarize a three set match that had a tiebreaker in 5 minutes. It's just makes no sense
One million dollar question , totally agree
One of lifes mysteries I guess.
Exactly. Plus they show 10 different slowmo angles of one point where they can squeeze in another couple of points
Whoever says wta consistency isn't back He/she is a delulu This match reminded me of the Sharapova Serena azarenka era I'm so happy that the high level is back in the WTA
They/them
Stop it you’re kidding right? You can’t use these 2 players and say the entire WTA is consistent. And even these 2 aren’t that consistent. The only one is Iga really and I’m not even a Swaitek fan
I give you this one!
@@phantomtroupe8430but top 4 ranked players performing well in every tournament that's what he is saying....but you need the remaining 5-15 ranked players to be consistent but it's not gonna happen.....
@@fileupload7553 but which top 4 players? because the only one I would truly call consistent is Swaitek and she’s only remained #1 so long because Sabalenka and Rybakina aren’t consistent enough to take it from her and I hope the 4th person you’re talking about isn’t Gauff because that’s debatable as well
Great win for Sabalenka, was rooting for Rybakina, the best one won today! Amazing match both!
Amazing champion mentality from Sabalenka, she's a true fighter, she was so brave at the crucial points, in the other hand Rybakina played safe at the important points and Aryna take all of them.
their match is never disappointing!!
This match reminds me sharapova vs azarenka , henin vs serena , kvitova vs kerber, clijster vs lina halep vs muguruza matches
Basically, you had the biggest, cleanest, and most consistent ball strikers on the WTA battling it out. The winner was the one who was more clutch and the greater resolve : Sabalenka, obviously. Rybakina just handed over the match in a platter even though it felt like she was hustling for every point.
Sabalenka, Rybakina, Swiatek are women's top 3 in tennis rn, bar none! They keep this up a few more years, they can be the Federer, Nadal & Novak of women's tennis. I mean these 3 are winning everything rn- rest of the field has to face one of them in virtually every final.
the gauff erasure, but you're right! they def the top 3 right now
I was rooting for Rybakina!! But she did a couple of errors that cost her the match :( But good for Saba 👏🏻
That missed volley on set point in 2nd set was brutal.
@@networth00 Right? 🥲
Oh cmon she didn’t do many mistakes she played rlly good. Saba was just better in the end
@@networth00 - Yep prior to that she had a easy put-away to go up 40-30 while serving for the 2nd set and missed it and next point missed an open court volley to hand Sabalenka the break to get even!
@@thecookie0079she definitely did few crucial easy mistakes, Which legends never do.
Sabalenka simply has the will to win
Heart
Устала наша Рыбка
Your fish is always tired! Maybe she should swim in cleaner waters!!
@@lucypedzinski1403 не знаю, что ты видел, но она выиграла последний турнир, где Соболь вылетела на втором раунде! А тут дошла до полуфинала! Если ты её хейтер, не утруждайся, просто не пиши ничего
10% Will, 90% Leg strength
Great reminder for Ryba that everybody is beatable. She looks like she doesn't care anyway... Saba came back like a phoenix from the ashes. This game was on the level which most of the players will never reach. Two of the golden trinity indeed.
Swiatek vs Sabalenka Final tomorrow will be epic. World #1 vs world #2 in the Final. I can't wait for this match. Sabalenka and Swiatek both deserve to be in the Final of this tournament as they really been best players of this tournament. Let the best player win tomorrow's Final.
Totally agree 🤩
Best match of the tourney. Hoping the final will be great too!
Best match of the tournament it has to be Sabalenka Collins or might be the final Swiatek Sabalenka, this one can not be as 1st set was too one sided.
Love Rybakina's style and composure ❤ A real player, humble, great to watch whether she's winning or losing. Can't say the same for Sabalenka or Swiatek.
Elena dropped level and Aryna took for the advantage. Really both big hitters and entertain for tennis.
Elena Rybakina choked - the ghost of Blinkova came back to haunt her in the tie-breaker.
Aryna raised her level
Rybakina is soft thats why she only has 1 slam. She can only beat Iga thats it.. now Iga beats the other girls easily and we have a boring final again. Rybakina is destroying womens tennis smh
Rybakina started to relax when she was serving for 3-1 in second set.
@@acreativiter She didn’t relax, Aryna raised her level
I think Swiatek will be happy to face Sabalenka instead of Rybakina
😅Светек проиграла прошлогодний финал Мадрида Соболенко
Iga has no preference!
Of course she has a preference. One of them she has a winning record against and the other she doesn't.
Yes, agree, Rybakina is Iga’s kryptonite.
Both difficult for Iga
Elena and Aryna...O my stars ! I'm glad, very glad I got to see " The thrilla' in Madrida!" A Grand Slam performance by 2 of the best in a semi. What a spectacle. C'mon Final !!!
Sabalenka, by all accounts, is a popular person off court: effervescent, vivacious, and genuine. But on court, her screaming banshee antics are excruciating and insufferable. Iga Swiatek is the only one who not only matches Saba's ability but also her ice-cold killer instinct. She will slay the banshee.
Swiatek, esp on clay. She is the Nadal of women's tennis on clay dude. Invincible! Cant w8 for the final!
Sucks that one had to lose here. Both of them are so powerful and hit the ball really hard. Saba didn't hold back and went for her shots. She got that champion mentality. Can't wait for Aryna vs Iga II. Iga can breathe a sigh of relief but cannot be complacent as Aryna proved it last year.
This girls relationship ❤ How should champions behave regardless of the results! Their attitude is an example for others! Love both of them ❤
Especial for Penko
oh yes you think for moments they are friends but this Respect and gd intentions 2 gd hearts playing and despide the high level they embrace !
Aryna fought really hard and deserved the win, also denying 1-4 in their last 5 matches and actually putting it to 3-3 since 2023 AO final, so their rivalry right now is a really tough and exciting one. Congrats, Aryna!
I really hate it when the two are labeled as power baseline players. The game has evolved so much since the days of Davenport and Sharapova so it’s really unfair to keep forcing down new gen players with such an outdated label. This match clearly demonstrates the variety, finesse and strategy used by the two Slavic girls. Sure, their serves are deadly, but let’s not forget they can construct, volley, defend, net play and attack while in defensive positions.
This match was quite a lot of big hitting. Both women came to the net, but mostly just to finish points on short balls. Rybakina spiced in a couple drop shots, and she had a bit more variety overall I would say, but this was definitely a baseline war of attrition between two big servers. Seems you are trying to force it here, but that’s ok too. These Slavic girls are definitely multifaceted tennis players, even if this match wasn’t the best example of it.
I'm sorry but Davenports is also phenomenal on volleys, hence why She also got couple of doubles titles.
"forcing down new gen players with such an outdated label" .... How exactly are they being forced down? Makes no sense.
aryna is just electric to watch .. when shes on fire she hits jaw dropping winner from every angle also adding more drop shots etc to her game .. amazing player to watch 🔥
Aryna was luckier again. I like them both but my favourite is Elena. There’s no other young woman like her. Real angel 😇.
Lucky? She raised her level significantly and Elena was also playing great but in this match Aryna wanted it more and proved it by raising her level and winning the match. Very simple. 😊
I totally agree. This time it was pure luck.
Young? She looks Like 30 and moving Like 40
@@goodninja7019 Are they in their 30 or 40 or 50 women are young and beautiful yellow beak.
Miss Screamalenka has now officially enter 3rd final this year 🎉🎉
Two world class champions. Congrats Aryna.
This to me was the "finals".
the final is always when Świątek plays🔥TOP1🔥
I see this in RG final
Didnt aged well
Lovely timing guys.
Two stupid errors from Rybakina in the end of second set. What a gift for Sabalenka! great match! As fan Swiatek of course I prefer Aryna in final but it wont be easy! Sabalenka is back!
Two stupid errors that cost Ryba the victory.
Pes etmeyen ve azmeden bir Sabalenka izledim. Bu sene Madrid Open'i çok isteyen Aryna var sanki.❤ Rybakina zaten formunda ve çok başarılı bir tenis oyuncusu. ❤
Finalde umarım Swiatek'e kaybeder, onun çığlıkları yüzünden maçlarını sessiz izliyorum. Swiatek'ten de çok haz etmiyorum ama Sabalenka karşısında kim olursa oncuyum.
@@Turkbaa35anda al loquero 😅
@@Turkbaa35 Beni de rahatsiz ediyor Sabalenka'nin cigliklari. Bir cok tenisci vururken ses cikartiyor ancak Sabalenka'nin ki biraz abarti. Ancak ben ugradiklari haksizliklari ve kendilerine karsi uygulanan nefret eylemleri sebebiyle Belaruslu olan Sabalenka'yi Swiatek'e karsi tutuyorum.

Wonderful back and forth. Good battle. Although Rybakina didn't win I love how she was fighting and moving out there. She is moving way better now.
Sabalenka brings out the champion mentality when needed most.
Rybakina was too exhausted and fatigued and couldn't keep up her high level and Sabalenka used it to her advantage.
@@einarsd4Just like Aryna was serving horribly and was in general horrible in Brisbane and Rybakina took advantage.....
There will still be a lot of games ahead of you, you will go far Elena Rybakina ♥️💪🏼
What a battle that was! It reminded me of the 2023 AO final between them. Great perfomance by two great champions!👏👏
This was an epic tight battle, could have gone either way, good play by both!
finally get an upload
These two always bring out the best in each other
The worst thing happened for Rybakina was the horrendous first set and beginning of the 2nd set from Sabalenka, it gave her a comfortable position where she didn't need to make any effort to get the points, Sabalenka was giving her freely then she relaxed, rested and when she needed to be in the rhythm of the final of the 3rd set it was late, she was cold and Sabalenka was climbing to her best level. Something similar happened in Brisbane's final but obviously on hardcourt Rybakina could finish it anyway. It's easy to say "it's a lesson to be learned never to relax throughout the match" from my position but I understand why Rybakina tried to save her energy while her opponent wasn't giving any fight, she played a 3hs match 24hs ago, again unlike Brisbane where she played about 3 hours throughout the whole tour so in the final she was full of energy.
Sabalenka raised her level when she needed the most. True champion mentality
Great match, ladies. Love the sportsmanship!!
That was brutal. I'm torn in half and both ladies prolonged my suffering😭😭 I need a vacation.. NOW! Iga is sighing a breath of relief. But wait! Aryna is still looking healthy and fresh and, as they say, "it ain't over til it's over"!
I don't know about fresh. I think that this match took a toll on her. Not sure if 1 rest day is enough to fully recover, I'm betting Iga will prevail in the final.
Всем привет из города-Героя Минска ! Гордимся нашей Ариной! Лена Рыбакина, достойная соперница! Обе теннисистки-- великие !
I look at the map and I see MINSK, and not MINSK-HERO-CITY...
Watched this match from beginning till end. It was breathtaking tennis
yeeesss absolutely
After losing the first set, Sabalenka knew that she could only win by using her extra physical power over Rybakina. And that's what she did in the next 2 sets. Rybakina couldn't put more power to match with her. So Sabalenka won by having the physical edge on her side only.
only*?
@thecookie0079 Yes, because Sabalenka can hit the ball harder, while Rybakina cannot. Sabalenka is stronger physically, that's what gives her an edge to beat Rybakina.
Rybakina should have won, and she choked. As simple as that. She needs to really develop her net and mid court game!
And her killer instinct.
She was gonna win if Aryna continued serving as horribly as she did in set 1, fortunately she increased her level significantly and served even better on the third set.
Totally agree. This match should have ended 6-1 6-4. Rybakina's errors in the deciding game are inexplicable. She played herself in this match and lost.
It's not Iga swiatek who's next. It's Iga Nuclear Swiatek.
Rybakina shows more emotion to respect and congratulate her opponent than winning Wimbledon. Great fight ladies and congrats Aryna and first class showing from Rybakina. 🙌
I would say we have an interesting sports rivalry in here! What a match by both.
As a Iga Swiatek supporter, I have literally supported Aryna Sabalenka in this gruelling semi-final clash. I had estimated that it was going to be a condensed appearance between Sabalenka and Rybakina. The physical determinants are at the foreground in order to watch the commanding rallies and combats among these seeded players. The forecast has lucidly been detected in the end of this match. Congratulations to Sabalenka!
I will never forget that moment 5:4 (30:30)! OMG that break point instead of match point😔 Anyway congratulations Aryna! Let’s get the 🏆 again on Saturday!
Ya that put away was a terrible blunder/miss by Rybakina and next point she missed another easy put away to hand Sabalenka the break right back!
her nerves!!!!!!!
hope Aryna will hold the trophy🙏
I love them both❤❤
Women power tennis in the 2. and 3. set and fair reaction by Rybakina 👍
I like it's duo
Great match.. High level of game.. Loved it ❤️
Rybakina is a lovely girl. It was sad to see her choke at the end. She had the match won and then hit several nervous volleys and overheads at the end which gave it to the Big Mouth.
Wow, what a match!!! Both of them played at a superb level… Aryna fought just a bit harder but it easily could’ve gone Elena’s way as well!
Yes...sad...
61 31 ….
Could you confirm that I am not the only one to see many video image compression defects that globally hide the ball in the middle of the court making the video more than difficult to watch?
Those last two sets - WOW. Both big contenders for the French
Good game and character of this two! ❤❤❤
the final is always when Świątek plays🔥
Amazing match from both players with fine margins at the highest level dictating the outcome of the match.
I love Rybakina. Such a great player. I hope she wins Roland garros
Congratulations Aryna 👏🥰. I hope you win this tournament 💯
Vous êtes tous sourds...elle cris comme 3 Nadal réunis. Cette joueuse est effroyable fait preve de sa rage qui ne correspond aux regles de jeux..
Rybakina is well able to win with Swiatek, but often lose to Sabalenka. Sabalenka than often wins with Rybakina, but lose to Swiatek. Now guess who is going to win the tournament 😂
"to win with Swiatek" ==> "to beat Swiatek". "loose" ==> "lose". Free English lesson.
@@potzysk2Ha! Thanks! I was not only 100% right with my comment but also got a free English lesson! 😂🎉🎉
What a match ❤ both players super 👌 👍 congratulations to Sabalenka 🎉
Those two are always the most entertainment match to watch in WTA tournaments.
GREAT CHANEL..WTA REPLAY SHORTS
Love Rybakina smile after she lost, she had so much chances to be the winner however she smiled after the match.
Just pure entertainment, love these two.
The best rivalry on tour
Wow i never saw that coming coz Rybakina's a tough opponent. Congrats Aryna♥️💯🎾
I love Aryna's courage, strength, endurance, positive energy even her beauty. She is a mix of ancient goddesses. Let's bring these qualities more on the table ❤ enough with humbleness.
Sabalenka should be exposed in ZOO as "Roaring Aryna".
Sabalenka's mental game is on point.
It's wasn't who is mentally stronger and we all know that Rybakina mentally is way stronger than Sabalenka, it was who is more fresh and Sabalenka was the more fresh player, because of which she won.
@@einarsd4nah Aryna was not fresh, every match she has played has been a three set battle except the Mirra match. She had spent waaaay more time on court than Elena, she was simply the better fighter in this match even thought she was behind in the first two sets.
@@nhlanhlamakhanya2285 Aryna Sabalenka was way more fresh than Rybakina. Rybakina won Stuttgart tournament and played 10 consecutive matches in 2 weeks while Sabalenka excited Stuttgart at early rounds.
Nothing depended on her in the first two sets. She played weakly and was just preparing for defeat, but Rybakina gave her a royal gift in the deciding game.
despite choking in the second set, Elena managed to refocus (!!!) and fight till the end. Even in the tiebreak, she saved 2 or 3 match points, and did not give up. That is the positive outcome.
This match is so good
Well done with the strong win 🎉😊
It's crazy how Aryna went from being one of the most hated player on the WTA tour and by spectators because of her grunt and her strong determination, to being one of the most beloved after all these years. She stayed true to herself and improved her mental strength and game plan, proving she's a big fighter who actually gets along with pretty much anyone on tour. I really command her for all that. Elena on the other hand, has always been the silent fighter. She always appear very stoic but the you can see this flame, this passion within her. She's really calm and collected which really helps her in my opinion. Iga is both of Sabalenka and Rybakina at the same time. She's better when it comes to tactics and game plan, but she sometimes lack in the mental department when she's taking blows after blows in a match. I really do think we have a big 3 here. And it's magnificient.
Speak for yourself. I think she's a jerk.
sorry to tell iga, but watching these two play is way more fun and interesting than watching the #1 player in the world play. These two have the charisma and the star power we want from the WTA!
Noisy vs quiet i always support quiet one
Go Iga!
Slayyyy sabalenka!!!!! GREAT GAME
Amazing game 😮
I hope Aryna will have enough energy for what is looking like a challenging final against Swiatek who had wasted little time dispatching Keys.
Yes, Iga certainly has the advantage of "freshness"!
Screeching obnoxiously isn’t “wearing your heart on your sleeve”.
Wow, a warm shake of hands for once...
Great match between arguably the two biggest hitters in the women's game. Always great viewing!
Who went to sleep at 1-3 down in the 2nd set ✋🏻
Wonderful
If tennis was a nature and personality contest, Rybakina would be winning all the time. Unfortunately, brutal killer instinct is what gets you the wins, especially when the abilities are matched like today. As much as a "sweet" person Rybakina is, she had the match on her racquet and basically couldn't close the deal. Some of the rudimentary volleys she missed were appalling.
Too sweet and too calm to be a tennis player.
WTF! Former wimbledon champ and the player with the most titles and finals this year is no good?
@NN-zf7np No one is questioning her ability or talent. And her killer instinct or lack of thereof comes into play only when she plays Iga and Saba. It's similar to when Fed plays Rafa or Djokovic. His talent is good enough to beat the rest of the field, but when push comes to shove with Rafa/Djoko he has lost so many matches where he should have won, had he had the mentality of a street fighter. Rybakina is exactly in the same boat. Didn't you see the full match? It is Rybakinas for the taking.
@@adipolidaона победила Сабу 6-0 6-3 недавно, победила Игу 6-3 3-6 6-3 в Штутгарте. Это не считается?
@adipolida you do realise she beat Iga and Sabalenka in 2 finals this year. She also complained of physical exhaustion this tournament. Given all of that it was amazing she got to semis and came so close to winning. She just saved 3 match points the previous match, being 5-2 down in the final set to win. I think she is quite strong mentally Sabalenka and Swiatek are multiple time GS champs and fighters. You will lose your share of matches against elite players like them. Btw she has a winning record and Swiatek and closing the gap with Sabalenka who used to be a bad matchup for her. People underestimate what Fed did against Djoko and Nadal. He was 6 years older ended up having nearly 40 wins against both of them. He won 6 out his last 7 matches against Nadal. Was 1 shot away from beating Djoko in the wimbledon final at a ripe old age of 38. I guess you have a more pessimistic view / glass being half empty POV. Both Nadal and Djoko are GOATs. I would say, if anything, there is no shame losing to those players, whilst having your own share of wins. Most courts are medium / medium slow, with only a couple being medium fast on tour. A slightly faster court, I would say a 38 year old Fed would have possibly had even more wins.
LONG LIVE KING AWAKENBEERUS KING OF PREDICTIONS, GOD BLESS HIM 🔥🔥
Seriously, how does AwakenBeerus always nail it? Taking notes from this genius for sure! 📝
Better luck next time Elena…there is nothing wrong in losing…confident you will bounce back stronger in next tournaments…
Bobby Knight would disagree with you.
GENIAAAAAAAA. SABALENKA ❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇷🇺🇸
As expected, she grunted her way to victory👍
