Well deserved and several years due. If you’re a tennis fan, you’ve known of Sabalenka’s struggles with mental strength. Emotional stuff at the end. Congrats Sabalenka.. hope this is the breakthrough you needed!
Been following her since some wins against Barty a couple of years I go. I wanted to see her win a GS so bad! This is so rewarding
Never really a big Sabalenka fan but congrats to her for slaying her demons and rybakina cuz rybakina was slaying everyone left and right!
I couldn't agree more. I wouldn't say that I'm a huge Sabalenka fan, but following her struggles and always coming up short, I felt drawn to root for her. Mental hurdles are the worst, and I'm proud she committed to doing the work, and she benefitted greatly.
Every tennis player struggles with mental strength
She still sucks
I wont lie, i may have shed a tear for Sab when she won. Ive always had a soft spot for her. She deserves a GS title.
Same here. Underneath that fiercely competitive exterior is a gentle giant who is sweet, funny and has a big heart.
@@kittygalore87 see tbat the thing. She is a really sweet and gentle young lady....i bet when shes loves, she love very hard.
Same! Tears of joys 😭
I hope Ons Jabeur also wins a GS title soon.
@@nasirabbasi2684 she's next up for sure...
Big congrats to Aryna. Congrats to both players. A high quality match that was very competitive and did not disappoint.
sabalenka looks like a dude, not a natural appearance, clearly on drugs, broadest shoulders since Amélie Mauresmo, what do her parents look like? where do u get a face like that? disgrace
@bigray1999 sabalenka got a bigger dick than u do
It blows mind I met Sabalenka in my local Publix in Florida last June and 7 mths later here she is a Champion. Congrats to Sabalenka 🎊
Where? I live in florida , I ❤Sabalenka
Was she nice?
yes, it’s all about you
@@marcoantonioulloasalse3112 She said in her presser she's going back to Miami where she lives after this.
Cool
CONGRATS to Sabalenka!! Sabalenka now has 3 Grand Slam titles (1 in singles and 2 in doubles). 😀 What a feeling to win your 1st Grand Slam title in singles.
Don't think any active player deserved it more than Sabalenka. She works hard and she loves the game. So happy for her!
One of the best finals, on the WTA side, in a while. Huge congrats to Sabalenka!
Fantastic match. Everything we wanted to see in a final. Very close and hard fought. Sabalenka was clutch and Rybakina was phenomenal as well. Class acts both, especially Rybakina in defeat. Wonderful person.
The athleticism and flexibility that Rybakina shows at 6:35 is insane, given how tall she is. Even though she lost the point, that was impressive to pick that ball up and recover her balance
I wanted her to save that point so bad, but I think she was thrown off by almost falling
Elena without any doubt was the better player.
no no no … Maria Magdalena without any doubt was the better player
@@nickcoller1962 No she wasnt. Sabalenka had way more winners (51 vs 32) about the same UFE (S - 28; R - 24), more aces (17 vs 7); served better, won more % of second serves and the same % first serves. So tell me how was Elena better.
haha. People will come up with anything to make themselves feel better about their fave losing. No matter the flexibility or athleticism...it didn't help her win the match.
A true warrior champion Sabalenka is. Rybakina played incredible too. What a match!
Was rooting for Elena. Really wanted her to solidify her presence at the top with a second grand slam win. Very happy for Aryna though, both of these women layed their hearts on the court. I hope this is the first meeting of many finals to come for them.
I was also hoping for the same but on reflection I think even reaching the final helps consolidate her place at the top of the game
@@rolinti9146 Yeah it does. She beat Iga on the way too. Wimbledon was no fluke.
Yes, she beat 3 Grand Slam champions (!!!), one GS finalist (Collins), and the world #1 to get so close to a championship. She definitely proved herself a top-shelf tennis player this tournament.
Elena has elegance an each his hit, but Sabalenka is very strong. Well played both
How about Fernandez-Screambalenka rematch & Rybakina- Raducanu rematch? Delusional fans said Floppucanu lost because she just recovered from Covid.
Well deserved. Congrats to both on an amazing tournament.
sabalenka looks like a dude, not a natural appearance, clearly on drugs, broadest shoulders since Amélie Mauresmo, what do her parents look like? where do u get a face like that? disgrace
Amazing pĺayers
Wow I love both of these players. Incredible tennis!! So fun to watch.
First time she’s played well for an entire tournament. She’s come a long way!
2 tournaments in a row. Same as Djokovic (Adelaide and AO) both lost only 1 set.
We all knew she was capable of winning a GS. The question was, _"when."_ Hats of to Ayrna on getting her maiden GS. Hopefully many more follow after this one 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Sabalenka was just an absolute beast out there. She was hammering that ball. The relentless aggression has to be exhausting to go up against, but Rybakina really held her own. So many deuce games, a couple of points could've made it a different story. Really great battle, very fun to watch.
Rybakina didn't serve as well as she has till the quarterfinals. I think the pressure of a packed box with even Kazakh authorities played a little role unlike Wimbledon that she went under the radar. Hopefully she'll learn from this and will be ready for the next one.
@@edisondeoliveira4665nah no excuses pls she served rlly well
What a Final, Congratulations to Sabalenka, well deserved!! And it's sad that Rybakina speech was not play!!! They should have show all!!!!
Not a huge fan of Sabalenka’s but she fought hard for this. Great win for her. Looking forward to seeing more from Rybakina in other tournaments other than Grand Slams.
why not a fan?
I like her but I don’t like noisy players honestly, it annoying, they should have outlawed it back when Seles started it.
Not a fan of her’s either. I don’t know something about her demeanor and her grunts that I don’t like, but she earned this title and well deserved
@@tammytaylor4310I agree 💯
@@tammytaylor4310 I was waiting long time they had to outlaw Maria...nothing happened. Will see what they will do no with this one...
sabalenka’s average forehand speed in the 3-3 game of the 3rd set was 87mph. insanity
BIG SABBB WHAAAAT
Even faster than the men
@@roysantiago9131 the men are playing way beyond the baseline than the women, thats why the women typically make more errors, their game is harder to time because their position is super agressive
Yay Aryna, I've been waiting for this moment, you have the game to win many more slams CONGRATULATIONS 🏆
Incredible match and congrats sabalenka🇧🇾💪! Also cheers for rybakina what a great run at AO!
Congrats Ms. Aryna!! It's not just big win for you and your fans but also for those who doubt themselves. You have given them hope and motivation.
Болела за Елену, болею давно, случайно слышала ее первое интервью, в Теннисном центре, Касаткина 17, интервью у новогодней ёлки, ещё подростком, с тех пор наблюдала за ней. Горжусь. Великая труженница. Без истерик. Есть цель. Удачи тебе Леночка.
Both players are extraordinary. Congrats, Aryna!
Great match from both players. With Rybakina taking the first set, I thought she would come back in the 3rd set, and she did try. In the end, Sabalenka was the best player with more winners. Rybakina played some short balls, which were big opportunities for Sabalenka to crush them. Congratulations! It's the ultimate goal for any elite tennis player to win a Slam, and you did it! Enjoy the trophy with your team, and I hope you win more. 🌺🌺🌺🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
Good for her! Congratulations to both players! It’s been a long time coming. She is too good to not have won a major. Well deserved and well earned!
Her W:UFE differential for the tournament was insane like +80. She didn't change her game but she def lifted it. Well deserved as Rybakina is one hell of a player
High quality final! Congrats to Sabalenka who has been on a ride in the last 12 months. Also to Rybakina who has broken top 10 and from now on will hopefully get treated as a Wimbledon champ. Seriously cannot wait for these two to compete again in the future
I couldn’t decide who to route for! Both for different reasons. Rybakina because after Wimbledon she didn’t get the respect and credit I feel that she deserved so this was her way of proving everyone wrong… but in the other hand Sabalenka I truly felt deserved it. I’ve been a fan of her big babe tennis for a while and seeing all her struggles made it that must sweeter. I just felt so happy for her 😊
* - root
Rybakina already proved who is she
Sabalenka I am so happy for you. Try, and try and try again. You did it! Heartiest congratulations!!! I still cannot leave out Rybakina. You did great to reach your second Slam final.
Sabalenka's commitment to workout and improving her Mental strength and Overall focus and Confidence are what have Pushed her into the Championship 🏆 Tier 👏👏👏👏. She always had the Physicality and Determination. Now she's becoming the Complete Package 💯👍💜💜. Congrats to both ladies. This was an Awesome Match.
Her response to winning reminded me of when Dimitrov won the WTF--obviously it meant a great deal. Congrats to her--and to Rybakina--on a good tournament.
FINALLY Congrats Aryna very well deserved, so happy for you!
Not even much of fan of Sab but I’m happy for her. Almost had me shed a tear for her this morning
Me too!! Especially with her own reaction when she won. Such a long journey for her first slam
at the first time i saw sabalenka played 5 years ago, i thought to my self that this girl could become the top notch player in the future.
I have grown to love Sabalenka. She used to be a sore loser. However, she has improved both her game as well as her sportsmanship in the past 1-2 years. Now she is a true champion. Big congrats to her!
thank you Australia 🇦🇺 , very beautiful tournament 🎾 , we love you 💞
The BigBabe from Minsk ! It was several years due. I'm quite happy to see Sabalenka get rewarded past many years of struggle !
Wow. These two women were just crushing the ball. The women's game is on a whole new level...again. I still remember Aryna's first final (I think) in 2017 against Sharapova. Sharapova just barely won that match, but I remember thinking that Sabalenka was going to be an amazing player in a few years. I do feel Rybakina went away a little bit in this match for some reason but these two really could be a great rivalry for the next few years.
One of the best women’s matches ever!! Those who were there un person were so fortunate!! Congrats to Sablenka!! I ❤❤❤❤ her!!! She has improved so much !!!
Good to see Sabalenka win A GS at last. I have a feeling we are going to see a few more finals between these two players. Both of them have the power game to win many more tournaments.
Desde chile Coquimbo grande Aryna sabalenka ❤️👍👍💪 Felicidades
Great Players; it is very nice to see a great level of women Tennis. I saw all Sabalenka great Games and also she deserved to be #1 in the world. 😍😍😍
When she keeps her negative emotions in check, she wins 👏
I am a fan of both girls but Elena had a wayy tougher road to the final and I found myself rooting for her at the end. It was a tough match though, and I’m happy Saba could regain her confidence and finally get one.
this could be a strong rivalry for years to come. grats Sabalenka!
I feel like if Ons gets her shit together, these 2 along with Swiatek and Ons Jabour could be a solid consistent top 4 that could be a rivalry amongst each other.
Very much so
Except for Swiatek, nothing is consistent in WTA right now. People keep making these predictions of certain players consistently being at the top. I dont know why.
@@samueljang1902 Exactly. Now that Sabalenka has the added pressure of being a slam winner, she's probably going to struggle and fall apart just like all the other first time grand slam winners in the WTA have been doing in recent years.
@@onyx081 Tennis fans have been desensitized by the big 3's absolute dominance in the men's league and prior Williams' saga and expect the same from the current WTA. What they did and are doing is not the norm, and they have effectively suppressed 3 generations of new pros from making any mark in tennis history.
wow , great match with the possibility of becoming the new and real # ones with power and diversity skill . long time i haven't seen a close match in years , congrats to Sabalenka even though i was rooting for Rybakina
These two will be Iga’s greatest competitors
Great final! Two of the best hard serving and hitting players. It came to who wanted it more and it was Aryna. She put all her strength together. Bravo! Elena is a great champion too. Give her some time and she will win many Slams.
Hilarious...Serena taught all of these girls how to play. Her game is so prevalent in most of these women. It makes sense because coaches, players, and academies have been studying Serena for years.
Wow!!! So lovely! Very graceful Win and Rejoicing... Congratulations Sabalenka and Well done Rybakina! Great Match! 😊🤗👍
Her Strength is incredible.
A very hard fought game both players giving everything this is how tennis should be, But congratulations to sabalenka you a champion
Great victory! Congrats from 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸💪💪💪👏👏👏
Всем привет из Города-Героя Минска! Болели, конечно, за Беларусь! Но -- обе спортсменки достойные!
😍 Арина 👏👏👏🔝🇧🇾🔝
It was amazing rivalry between two great players ❤❤❤
Alot of people don't know the outcome going into these highlights. How about not showing the winner in the thumbnail
Only in AO doing that, which is not good for the fans who may want to wonder who the winner is?
It doesnt matter man... And its really not that serious. Watch the video or not. Thats it.
if it doesn’t matter then don’t comment
A Great Match!! I enjoy it too much!! I love the way that Aryna plays!! With all ver soul in every single shot!! Congratulations for you both! Aryna you hace a new Fan in Chile
With all HER SOUL
Well Deserved Win 🎉 amazing player both !!!!
Aryna finally got hers. Well done! 👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is so well earned. No one deserves this more than Aryna because no one works harder or plays with more heart and passion than her. So gratifying to see her fought off her demons and crossed the finish line. She was always the most talented player to have never won a slam due to her nerves. Her mental fortitude on those pressure points were amazing, and her beautiful all-round game esp. the inside-out FH and overhead shots are a thing of beauty. Unlike a lot of WTA players, Aryna never misses those easy put-away shots. She has made me a fan for life!
Well deserved, great player, congratulations!,,🎉🎊🎈
Well deserved. Great final. Hearty congratulations ❤❤
Hermoso partido de estas dos campeonas. Bien merecido para Aryna este campeonato. Felicitaciones para ambas deportistas
Congrats Aryna...been rooting for you to win a slam💥🎊
This was a great final to,watch.
After the year she had in ‘22 great job for her!!!!!
Fantastic match for two young players hitting their strides......Loved every minute of the match.....Have watched Aryna her whole career and hoped she would be a slam winner some day.
Much respect for Rybakina she has a lot of class👍 great tournament for Saba🏆 2023 is heating up 🔥🔥🔥
So happy for her… well done!
Very well deserved. Both players really played a super game.👌👌
I love you Sab. I was crying in Dubai during you match but now I’m in tears of joy knowing that you were able to pull yourself up. RESPECT
Felicidades Sabalenka!! Bien merecido 👍✨👏👏
Definitely one of the players who deserves a slam championship
All that talent finally paid off. Congrats Aryna.
Happy for her, congrats! Great match from both ladies.
i'm so happy to see Aryna being GS champion, congrats Aryna!!!
Excelente partido! Una final muy digna para un torneo de gran slam. Aryna fue mejorando su nivel partido a partido. Mejoro su efectividad de primer servicio. Pienso que si logra moderar su potencia y elegir el momento para cambiar de ritmo, disminuir la intensidad y usar un poco mas la red creo q estamos antes una jugadora que puede pelear el puesto numero 1 de ranking. Elena tambien jugo un gran partido. Y solo se definio sobre el final del 3 set. La verdad cualquier que hubiese ganado estaba bien. Hermoso partido. Y espectantes hoy con Djokovich y Tsisipas!!
Yessss I definitely teared up !!!! So happy for her !!!!
Aryna Sabalenka won the title, but Elena Rybakina won some more points in this highlight
Congratulations Aryna Sabalenka! Both played wonderfully and loved the sportsmanship they displayed at the end.
That reaction at the end. Might be one of the most vivid moments of pure joy I've ever seen on television. You can tell how much she's been through.
I'm still proud of my Ice Queen Rybakina. Congrats Sabalenka, you finally break through the grand slam!
At least she was quiet. Unlike her opponent
@@darrenlucas7362 Football players make noise...why shouldn't tennis players?
@@dstarks360Dude football players don’t be screaming. These girls that do this and guys it’s annoying. Thing is women, are way louder thanks to Sharapova more players are doing it. If your opponent is quiet you could tone it down.
@@toddthehappyhermit different kinda sport dude. Tennis is kinda like golf I get you gotta grunt. But some are straight up screaming. Can’t you comprehend?
@@toddthehappyhermit sharapova was unwatchable when she played. Here and a few other players.
These highlights do not do this match justice; it was much closer and more nerve-wracking than this...Renae Stubbs said this was the heaviest hitting she'd ever seen in a women's match. Just outstanding; you will be seeing rematches between these two in Finals to come for sure
Unbelievable performance delivered by the 2 ladies
Congrats, Sabalenka!!!👏👏👏👏👏... esse jogo poderia ter sido ganho por qqr uma das duas. Ambas fizeram um torneio espetacular. Torço pela Sabalenka sempre, mas confesso que achei que essa partida seria da Rybakina. Ela vinha jogando demais tbm... errando pouquíssimo, devolvendo todas... enfim, foi um jogaço!!! Parabéns à ambas, Campeã e Vice campeã.
Yes an amazing final so great
they both are the best player
i read an article... i think in WTA site that Sabalenka in this final match , by average, was hitting harder than Novak and Stefanos.... would be better if Aryna is with Seles, Capriati, Serena, and Venus at their prime.... it would be a slugfest every time they meet.... as a Serena fan... as i accepted that Serena was at her twilight years, i started liking Aryna coz i like her power game... not boring.... but she had plenty of inconsistencies.... although i like these two finalists, i was a little biased to Aryna coz i wanted her to win a grandslam (since Elena already has Wimbledon) ... and i wanted her to win also for her to believe that she should have won long time ago.... overdue is the word, but she truly deserved it
Peak Sabalenka & Rybakina would trash Serena as game has changed over the years. Capriati lol🤣🤣🤣 she had 1-10 h2h against Steffi. Capriati have to thank Graf retirement in 1999 otherwise she never would have won slams.
Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka, two players the Media bans their Flags, Now going to the final in Indian Wells, justice
Well played both! Djocovic's supporters would be ecstatic for both! 🏆🏆
Watching this after break point 😢😢
Sabalenka deserve won this title after playing many times in grandslam. Congratulations for your first granslam title
Many congratulations indeed to Aryna Sabalenka for her win. She EARNED it. She's a champion.
I think Sabalenka's game could be compare to Serena Williams. She s so powerful. But her main issue has always been her mind. Congrats for this tournament! Well deserved
I was waiting for the coming of Sab... so proud.
I love Elena, but I LOVE ❤ Aryna and I am the happiest person for her title 🏆 I cried when she won. I love her.
How I love Arinushka's screams!
And today, she defended this title ❤
