How do you not show us how Rybakina breaks back in the second set? Absolutely crucial part of the match
Exactly
This is tennis 😊
@@_TheAyo Actually Rybakina should have broken Swiatek the game before , a really bad line call against her , the ball was deffo out , hawk eye proved it was out but the ref called it in .
Dziękuję USA za internet to takie cudowne czytać wasze komentarze rzeka łez że szczęścia
Na koniec powim POKÓJ MUZYKA MIłOŚĆ nich was BÓG blogosławi dziękuję
Rybakina becomes slowly an all court type player...grass and hard courts are under her mark.. Slowly is getting better on clay too.. She s special
Have you watched the match? She played terrible 1,5half 😂
She has always shown that she's good on clay. RG 2021 proved it. I find Clay a more comfortable surface than Grass for her.
@@ebocrentsil1799 it will be more comfortable after she wins RG, until then she is more capable on grass as she has wimbledon and really see her capable to win again this year
@@black.cake1 started bad but her game improved in second set, even if iga didnt get injured she had big chances to finish it in third
@@ebocrentsil1799 She doesn’t have that much experience on grass but her record there is much better. She can continuously serve aces and unreturnable serves on grass.
Rybakina te admir mult. Cred c ai îmbolnăvit o cu calmul tău pe partenera de joc. 10 ASI ! BRAVO!
Iga is quite a strong player and she showed that in the first set. But Rybakina is the real test for Iga especially when she bounced back in the second. Hope this healthy rivalry continues in the future.
Even if it was 4:0 for Iga after 4 games in the first set, it was very, very close between the two of them, because all 4 games involved several deuce (40: 40).
@@charleslemagne202 Maybe - but Rybakina had only 1 breakpoint (1/1) while Iga was the one pushing for breaks all the time (3/10)
@@pawegrzywna5191 Maybe, but Elena injured Iga having her chasing the balls left and right knowing Iga will be doing splits. Princess Elena won with and by merit.
@@pawegrzywna5191 I agree that Iga's playing style has more variations and is much more interesting to watch (not as entertaining as Ash Barty's though) than Elena's (for the time being), and that she is the more aggressive player and her defensive abilities often are nearly on Djokovic's level. But let's be thankful that with Elena and Aryna there are two players who can test Iga, because otherwise matches with Iga would be rather a bit boring for me to watch.
@@charleslemagne202 I think she may develop more skills in the future to be like Ash Barty. She will need it to maintain high level. None of big three do nice dropshots and volleys, they are mastering their strongest abilities instead of applying new elements to surprise the opponent. I think Krejcikova is better in terms of variety, skills and technique but she lack power.
Love Rybakina's game and her composed attitude, great to see her do good on clay she is gonna be the biggest challenge for Iga for a long time
Only chance for swiatek is clay where she can beat ryba, on grass and hard she is outplayied in all aspects by elena
@Sheetall, I absolutely agree..😊
Big 3 now is more excited to watch, if we get matches like that. What a level.
I am a huge fan of Rybakina and indeed very happy for her victory, but also feel terribly sad for the way it ended today for Swiatek. She's 21 and so good. Wishing her a speedy recovery.
Rybakina did not win. SWIATEK retired.
@@black.cake1 It was still considered a win since she moves on to the next round and Iga doesn't
@@black.cake1 wtf you talking about _ this clown swontek retired beacuse she was losing, hate that polish loser,there was no injury idiot
@@black.cake1 bruh rybakina is gonna win either way since she has the momentum, after 4-2 in the second set iga can barley keep up
What an attitude of this girl. She even didnt celebrate her won due to igas injury
After a long time, women's tennis has now become exciting to watch thanks to the New Big3...Iga Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina...Slowly becoming a Rybakina fan...hope her win more GS this year and coming years....
She will. I am half expecting her to win Wimbledon and the US Open this year at this point.
@@westonmeyer3110 kocham cię kimkolwiek jesteś
ERy may become No. 1 before the year ends if she pockets every WTA 1000 and the 3 remaining GSs. Iga is 0-4 against elena this year and aryna is not consistent.
I have become Elena"s fan since she won Wimbledon, good attacker, very calm, silent killer😊

Absolutely great match. Wishing Iga speedy recovery and I hope that it is nothing serious.

What a comeback from ryba in 2nd set 👏👌💥.Super impressed by her performance going toe to toe with best claycourter on tour & also for iga,hope she recovers fast & will be ready for RG 🤞
Rybakina wouldn't have won even one set if Swiatek wasn't injured. This comeback wouldn't have even happened if Iga Swiatek didn't injure herself.
@@einarsd4 Ига была травмирована как раз потому, что Лена гоняла ее по корту два сета, буквально как собачку. В итоге мышцы ног не выдержали... Дальше - игра в одни ворота, т.е. счет третьего сета 6-2 в пользу Лены. Ига это поняла и снялась. Это честная победа Лены.
@@nv9064 EXACTLY!! So much paranoia in the Iga fanbase!
@@einarsd4 lol go & watch the match again
@@einarsd4 what are u even saying ? Iga got injured at the end of set 2 rybakina won that set while iga is not injured ur just being a stupid iga fan who cant accept the truth
Quick recovery 1ga ❤ Congratulations, Elena 👏🎾😍❤️
Elena Rybakina is already good on hard court and grass court. I am surprised that she is also quite good at clay court. That means she has chance to win grand slams on all surface. I wish her all the best.
In the last tournament she lost in the 1st round...
When you hit the ball this well, any surface will do. Looks like she's ok with clay (and as an "Eastern Bloc" tennis product, she was raised on clay...I'd think) so no real issues with movement or point construction etc. Might not be her most favourite surface but not a major issue, either.
@@black.cake1 yes she did. As Nadal said, "what happened in Monte Carlo happened what happened in Barcelona happened and what happened in Madrid happened. We're now in Rome" 😂😂❤️I'll miss Rafa 😭.
I don't see a big future here😢 I love her, but i'm worried about time. Some players burn so fast, entering the second half of their 20s. She was on Tour for many years. She's young, but she's not Serena. I wish she was, tho!
Quel beau tennis .....deux grandes championnes..... C'est dommage que Iga Swiatek n'ai pu jouer jusqu'au bout....j'espère qu'elle pourra se remettre rapidement.... Je reste admiratif devant le jeu de Elena Rybakina et à sa combativité, sa ténacité, son calme même quand elle est mené..... Bravo....
En tout cas cette année Roland Garros va être dingue chez les hommes y a des jeunes dont des nouveaux très fort (celui qui vient de sortir Alcaraz par exemple) pas mal d'autres en forme globalement tous les joueurs sont bons en terre battue et Djokovic qui commence à accuser le coup et fatiguer... Chez les femmes aussi y a des bonnes joueuses et d'autres qui reviennent en forme sakkari sabalenka ostapenko et d'autres. Cette année bonne chance pour trouver les vainqueurs de RG.
Sorry about Iga’s injury. Rybakina forced her to scramble so much in such a risky manner that the injury became a consequence. I hope she heals fully before the French open. Congrats to Rybakina.
No one forces her.. she raised the match to the highest tension to prove she could defeat Rybakina... and that's what she asked for.
I think iga goes too far in every match beyond what her body can withstand. It's blood and bones not steel parts. Perhaps she wants to make that a trademark but this is the sad consequence. Run faster or let it go instead of harming her body too frequently too early in her career. Play with joy and goodness will descend. There is much more to life than tennis. ERy always has a smile even when the going gets tough. Serena didn't win 23 GSs with a ready-to-make-enemies face. Relax!
@@andynguyen5625 you are absolutely right.
@@mindywong3839 WTA is forcing to move from one turnament to another without look back to their mental healt, healt, tireness, etc... they only see is money...remember Osaka she rised her hand because this kind of problems that WTA do not wassa see.
Iga was absolutely not injured here. This was more protecting herself mentally before the French Open. She is in Iga's head. Will enjoy this rivalry
Elena Rybakina is also living rent free in the minds of Iga Swiatek fans.
@@sinic1978 😆🤣 very true
Iga was injured , like Rybakina many times in past months. WTA is becoming absolutely very tough “league “ this year
MY 2 FAV PLAYERS...❤ THIS IS WHAT CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE IS👏👏👏...MORE THAN A FINAL...
So do I think.
многие похоронили Елену после первого сета.. но ни тут то было. браво Елена
Nikt nie pochował tylko była słabsza i przegrała 6-2 tylko niech dziękuję pechowi Igi że na awila się kontuzji inaczej by dostała znowu 6-2 mmmmy !-
@@reginaltkoralewski2944 но это не факт ... могло быть и наоборот 6-2 в пользу Елены
@@reginaltkoralewski2944 Iga was injured already during the match because she ran too much and hit the ball too hard. She simply did not calculate her strength and by the end of the second set, the leg muscles failed. It was a great game by Rybakina, who didn't even break a sweat. 👍
Я тоже выключил после второго сета два гейма не верил Елену, после этого утром так обрадовался
@@travelkogaly всегда нужно топить до конца.. хотя сам тоже не верил в кэмбэк Елены.. за то день начался с хорошей новостью

Rybakina got all it takes to win Rome, but Penko-Penko is like a storm too! Very nice battle in semis...
Looking forward to this grudge match, chance for Penko to avenge her loss in AO QF.
Wszystko jest nie ważne bo jest wojna
I want Penko to crunch the Ribofkina!
@@spillomina But the opposite happened today. 😂
Great game for both of the 2 ladies all of the best for Iga to have a good recovery.👌👌😁😁
Come on, dear commentators! You pronounce "Swiatek" perfectly even though it's spelled differently, but you always mispronounce "Rybakina" (RybAkina is correct, not RybakIna)? Is that your incompetence or disrespect?! A shame!
Swiatek is correct, not Swentek
@@qamajai lol, Swiatek is not correct pronouncement!
*Rybakina* is a "True hero"..;How could she come back against *Iga*& defeat "The relentless warrior"!
It's a shame it ended like that, but RG is around the corner. Better to stop now and not make the injury worse.
This girl has it all. This will be a long rivalry. And I’m here for it ….
У нее есть дух дух победителя а этот дух не возможно просто так победить этот дух не даст проиграть и идёт великии дух дух победителя дух которыи не подвержен эмоциям мы казахи льюбим тебя и держим кулак сжатым и твоя задача духа что бы они они неразжались
So Rybakina faces two break back points at 4 all and we dont get to see how she defends to prevent iga from serving for the match.
Congratulations Rybakina, Get well soon Iga ❤
Rybakina jest wybitna tenisistka gra spokojnie z przyjemnością się ogląda jak gra. Świątek jest za nerwowa biega ciągle robi wygibusy przed meczem to śmieszy to parodia .
Brava Rybakina, ti auguro ogni bene .Da tanto tempo che faccio tifo per te.
Awesome Elena ur the beast of the best
Рыба ! Ты настоящая акула ! Так держать !
Early on Swiatek was moving so fast I had to check I had the play speed set to normal, but I guess that kind of acceleration does risk injury to the thigh.
3 consecutive win against no.1 ....
It’s actually four including the exhibition match end of last year.
She beat her in the exhibition in December pretty badly too, she also beat sabalenka and garcia in that exhibition games
This is so disappointed, especially today, she would have won if not for the injury 😭
@@sport_fan1752 blind! did you see how she came back!
@@sport_fan1752 Iga's fans: you are why many are against Iga. I am against Igas fans for their brainlessness and ignorance. Elena caused Igas injury by having her chasing the balls left and right: Elenas excellence did that. Iga's retirement was inevitable.
Rybakina is absolutely awesome, likely my favorite female player!
Iga was almost unplayable on Set 1. That’s already given. She was phenomenal. But they way Rybakina held her own and forced a tiebreak on the 2nd set was hardly talked about. She is a mental giant. And this is on clay for crying out loud! She was already ahead of Iga on the tiebreak before the injury happened. Iga had to over-chase, over-play, and retrieve Rybakina’s pacey balls in the tiebreak. Maybe that was not a sustainable/ injury prone style of play after all against Elena, hence, the injury.
Tennis is not one set ...tennis is minimum 2 sets...some players just cant play their best leval at the first set like ryba in her matchs she plays good as the match continue
@@spaceshido6124 Yes, as I've noticed. Elena is a slow starter but once she gets going she dominates most of the time.
I agree on the strategy of Iga. It was not a good one to use against Elena since we know Elena can belt out strong forehands and backhands at pinpoint accuracy on both corners at that! I wish there was a link to the full match! I'd like to watch that tie break again
Unplayable? Rybakina had multiple break points and didn't take them. Ostapenko was Unplayable against Badosa.
Elena served Iga a good one. Run her around the court and run her off the court too. Elena is in Iga's head.
Said it many times, Swiatek, Rybakina, Sabalenka are all destined to face each in many Grand Slams, and each win multiple times, but Rybakina is going to win most I feel.🤔
For now they have a lot of catching up to do, especially being older than Iga.
@@black.cake1 Ryba beat her three times this year and we are in may. That is a fast catching up, and once Ryba is No:1, that will easily progress. 2-3 years is not a big deal, believe me.
I love watching Elene Rybakina play ... 👏🤩
The Ice Queen is Iga's worse nightmare. There aren't many players that can outpace and dictate play against Iga. Elena had her scrambling. Her formidable first serve was key.
But that is the thing though, her 1st serve wasn’t there and in the beginning of the match Iga was smashing the few 1st serves she got for winners. Rybakina had to win a 15-40 game in the 2nd set with zero 1st serves.
@@westonmeyer3110 Rybakina is a better athlete, and tall too, 1.84cm. In Rome, 3 players could not keep up with her and had to retire. Kalinskaya, Iga and Kalinina. Of course they are good players, but Elena is outstanding. First serves are ok, but there are other elements in her game. She is like a spider, making her web slowly, and patiently, till her opponent give up. Ostapenko pulled all sorts of trick to slow Elena’s game, but it was foregone conclusion. Cheers.
Congrats Lena 😊😊
Get well soon Iga Injury happens to the best as well / Iga has been playing way more for so long then others Great match Iga and Elena
😂
Elena Rybakina once again is displaying her physical and mental toughness and ability to sustain Iga's barrage of quickness and power. However, Elena knows Iga's game of style now after previous defeats and know her serves and angled shots will keep Swiatek moving side to sides which took a toll on her thigh and knee eventually due to physical limitations and wear and tear. Cool, calm, and collective as usual for Elena Rybakina. Unfortunately, for Iga Swiatek, she was not able to continue to compete and had to retire. Hopefully, her injury is not too serious and will recover soon enough to play again for the Rolland Garros tournament. Big congrats to Elena Rybakina.
They will most likely meet at the quarterfinal stage of Roland Garros there's a high probability that IGA will get injured again because the way Elena plays IGA will most likely overextend herself again.
@@sinic1978 For Iga, everything is much worse. Lena played frankly poorly, this allowed Iga to win the first set and confidently lead in the second, make a lot of breaks. It is worth Lena to return her serve and accuracy of strikes - and Iga will simply fly off the court. Even running and squats won't save her. Rybakina was essentially playing with herself, little depended on Iga herself.
I do not count the number of times that Rybakina has won even being overdominated
@@Gayaa-dl7lq It's because of your game loot.
Congratulations Rybakina. 🎉😍What a comeback and now she's 8/9 in tiebreaks in 2023.The third set could have gone either way if iga wasn't injured.
she could of lost in 3rd
@@kjron1548 No ELENA wouldn't of lost !!
Rybakina was going to win regardless. She broke Swiatek mentally at 5-3 in the tiebreaker. At 2-2 in the third Swiatek didn’t want to play anymore. Watch the last point of her match against Rybakina at this years Australian Open. She gave up on the point in almost the exact same way.
Rybakina is such as nightmare for Swiatek now?
Swiatek practically play over two years in WTA and she’s number one idiot
Go Iga. ❤ Watching from London UK.
I hope IGA recovers smoothly from her injury 🙏🏽
Rybakina is the modern age "Ice maiden".
Iga is suffering from Rybakinatitis
😂😂😂
lol. 👍
Yep, she played on the level that she couldn't maintain, she literally gave it her ALL the Rybakina increased her level and served better then took her legs. She had her running from side to side 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@nhlanhlamakhanya2285 Smart of her to back off after suffering pain. She won the French. Couldn’t have done it if she were limping badly
Her bogey player
Wow.Rybakina truly came back.
Nie znam się na sporcie ale Iga jest Człowiekiem
Niesamowite odkrycie.
Obie są najlepsze
Sad to see Iga exit like this, but she literally asked for it. For a good portion of the match, she had Ryba on the ropes, right where she wanted her to be. And then, when she had to pull that final trigger, the nerves came in and she produced a textbook chokejob. The injury that followed was nothing more than a side effect of that choke, because had she not gifted Elena that re-break in the 2nd by commiting no less than three (!) UEs and then instead converted at least one of another three doable BPs, the 2nd set wouldn't even go to a tiebreak. A monumental choke!
What are you talking about, what nonsense
Nonsense lol
Nonsense.
Iga didn't choke. Rybakina just served aces and played very well during those breakpoints. When you say choke you are referring to someone who fails to land an easy shot. There was nothing easy for Iga during those breakpoints. Rybakina's serves and groundstrokes are just very powerful it doesn't give Iga much of a chance. You probably haven't ever played competitive tennis to be talking that way.
@@edgarmacabasa6682 well you can't really blame her for choking against Rybakina because her record against Rybakina ain't good,played 3 lost 3!😅 she surely can't risk losing a fourth consecutive time against the Kazakh can she?!😂😂
During the first set it was raining lightly (more of a drizzle) so the ball was heavier and Rybakina had to compensate during her serve that's why most of her serves were long. Her groundstrokes flat as they are resulted in balls often finding the net. She was landing around 40% of her first serves so Iga was feasting on second serves that were bouncing just within Iga's strike zone. The rise in Rybakina's quality of play starting the middle of the second set coincided with the rain stopping. That was when she started serving well and committed less unforced errors making life difficult for Iga as Elena was able to attack Iga's forehand more.
They wouldnt play if it was raining at drizzle lol Iga came out powerful and lost energy in second set. She killed Ryba in first set overall and Ryba had to serve hard or iga would dominate. IF Ryba didnt have her serve iga would destory her
@@kjron1548 Yeah totally agree. If Ryba can't win cheap points off her serve she is very beatable, not just by Iga but by lots of other players.
I agree. Her backhand down the line was always in the net, wet and heavy balls were iga's bread and butter
@@kjron1548 Nonsense.. Rybakina has beaten Iga 2x out of 3 meetings on head-head.. prior to this game
@@kjron1548 Did you even watch the match live? It was raining lightly during the first set and the camera even focused on it a few times during the match. And didn't you notice that the audience had their raincoats and umbrellas on? It is common practice in clay court tournaments to continue match play even when there is a shower because the clay absorbs the precipitation. Only when the clay becomes slippery will they stop a match. It's different in hardcourts where they will stop play immediately.
That 2nd set could be the final... What a game despite the early finish!
Swiatek clearly dominated,the injure made her stop. Not an opinion but a fact
@@sylvainhyais8166 tell me you are a Swiatek fan without telling me you are a Swiatek fan 🤣
@@tiagoguerreiro3098 I like both Swiatek and Rybakina, they played really good tennis,but Swiatek won more games,more points until the injury,she is better on clay,no question,won maybe 6 tournaments on clay ,including 2 RG, Rybakina none. For sure Rybakina can beat anybody ,she's a great shotmaker but Swiatek is way more consistent,anyway they 'll have good games together
@@sylvainhyais8166 "clearly dominated" you said... maybe in the 1st set, in the 2nd Rybakina was clearly superior, turning around from 1 break down to winning the tie break, and would have continued that mood to the 3rd set, so it was quite far away from being a "dominated" performance from Swiatek, and nothing due to it's injury
@@sylvainhyais8166 You didn't understand anything in this match. Probably didn't even see it completely. Swyatek was in perfect shape at the beginning of the match. No injuries. She moved very fast and even hit the ball harder. Iga literally ran after every ball. And that's what ruined her... By the end of the second set, her leg muscles had failed. She hadn't calculated her strength. The score of the match should have looked like this: 6-2 6-7 2-6. Iga realized this and withdrew.
This match shows that even when the conditions are heavily in Iga's favor on clay, if they both play at their best, Elena can still dominate Iga. She is just a bad matchup for Iga because her forehand is able to dominate Iga's forehand. Against everyone else, Iga's forehand is a fearsome weapon, but against Rybakina it becomes a liability.
Rybakina did not dominate her even for a second, lol.
@@peonymagnolia please read carefully before you reply. Did you even watch the match? Rybakina was winning the forehand to forehand exchanges with Iga by a wide margin. Just as I was saying, Elena's forehand was dominating Iga's forehand. I never said Elena was dominating Iga.

It would have been slightly easier to root for Swiatek had her fans not been so toxic. You made one small comment about her appearance for example, the next thing you know her fans (especially the Poles) started coming at you like a swarm of vicious hornets. It is only natural than people started to root for her opponents.
Absolutely right
not as bad as the sharapova fans who call serena a gorilla and man monkey because maria was her punching bag and couldn't beat her until she retired.

Rybakina, the queen of comeback.
FR, she plays better under the pressure at crucial moments))) Always fights back, amazing
Sad end to this game but not that surprising ; Swiatek's game relies on a total involvement and agressivity on every point , and there her body had enough ! On the opposite Rybakina plays quite relaxed ... The margin of progression is on the side of Elena
Exactement
Rybakina is the player who wins a tournament and the next weel can lose in first round, after winbledon she was horrible, this year after some victories lost in first rounds in Sttugart, Madrid, and got into a semifinal here with only 2 games, because of the injuries of 2 players.Many players can beat her because of their style of game, she has 0 record against many low ranked players.Teichmann is only one of them...
After all Nadal is her idol.😊
@@cristinamartins2761Rybakina won 2 tournaments WTA 1000, Swiatek won 2 tournaments so far this year WTA 500, so as no 1 she has rather poor year!
@@halinabonbon9936 Iga has won 2 wta 500s, 2 1000 WTA finals same with elena but has done poorly during the clay season until this tournament get your facts right before you post
She hardly celebrates anyway!!! 😂Go Elena!
Elena 🙌 never gives up 🫶
The WTA really does a horrible job with these highlights... Those who haven't seen the match want to see the crucial moments (i.e. when and how Iga broke in the first set, when and how Iga broke in the second set, when and how Elena broke back in the second set, when and how Elena mini broke in the tiebreak...) Very bizarre to not include these moments (doesn't matter if they weren't "highlight reel" rallies. Anyway, super happy for Elena as she's my favorite WTA player but never nice to see a win like this. Hope Iga can recover quickly from this injury.
Iga broke in the 1st set consecutively because of Rybakina double faulting and not getting any 1st serves and terrible errors, it wasn’t that exciting. Likewise Iga got broken in the 2nd set when Rybakina finally put some pressure on her serve and Iga made an error.
And what was it about the injury? Did she came into the match already injured or did she injured herself during this match? Did she hit her racket on her leg and that caused the injury? Yes indeed, really poor coverage from the WTA to get any crucial infos here.
@@ApricusInaros IGA got injured because in the second set Elena was putting a lot of pressure on IGA, IGA was all over the place eventually she got injured at tie break when the score was 5-3. It will only get worse for IGA from now on as everytime she plays against Elena she knows she has to win in straight sets otherwise if it goes to set 3 she knows her chances of winning is very low. She's going to throw everything at Elena and this is when she's going to get herself injured.
@@ApricusInaros No, she didn't hit her leg with the racket, and she didn't come into the match injured either. In fact she was moving incredibly well up until the injury late in the tiebreak. 3 minute injury timeout but didn't play very hard after that and had to quit.
Iga, we are with You no matter what happens. ❤

Rybakina is iga's kryptonite
Get well soon, 1ga😢❤
Congratulations Elena Rybakina well deserved win and great comeback in the second set, amazing
I hope Iga will get well soon from injury. I am so sad Iga retired because of knee injury :( but we know she is a very strong person and has solid mental, so we can see her soon!
She will be third best in the world soon. Rybakina overtaking her and so si Saba
Its becoming routine now for Elena to beat Iga.
Ига очень хороший игрок и техника , но очень энергозатраты и очень сильно хочет победить, Лена умничка❤
I think since this match, Iga luckily avoided Elena so far. Can't wait to see Elena humbling Iga again.
Rybakina needs only to improve her volley technique at the net, then go to the net more, and rally more from the baseline and she will be virtually unbeatable. She already has a dangerous forehand and outstanding backhand and serve.
And why, if she wins without all this?
@@LobsterFromMars Because, as she says, she can improve and be more consistent. That’s why. She’s 29-7 this year. She can get the losses down in number and totally dominate and she and her coach know it.
@@jameslee1062 Now she has an established scheme already working, and we don't know what will happen if this scheme is changed. Personally, I don't see any particular need to introduce something radically new into her game yet, rather she needs to hone what she already has. It is necessary to seriously reduce the number of unforced errors, as Sobolenko and Kalinina did this year.
Wow it’s sad way to end this battle and although I love Elena I hope Iga is healthy quick 🙏
1:10 what a point!
Both are so good.
Елену с победой, а Иге скорейшего выздоровления ❤
These highlights didn't tell the full story of this match and the WTA highlights have been a little lack luster for Rome in my opinion.
wow! Its 3rd tym in a row now, Rybekina has won over Swia! ❤ That injury was unfortunate though.
These were throwing some heavy tennis blows.
in the second set Ryba had only 9 unforced errors that’s beyond ridiculous for 13 games, this proves that once she raised her level Iga couldn’t handle her anymore and was constantly on her back foot and running side to side !!!!
Strange considering how many break points had to defend Rybakina and Swiatek in the whole match only one. Rybakina was struggling all the match and only the serve let her stay in the game. Iga lost focus when it was 4-2. Rybakina is nothing special.
Rybakina is in Swiatek's mind. Elena fan here!!!!!! 💪💪💪
I believe so too..
Another mind reader.
Whether Elena is in Swiatek’s mind or not she definitely gets pushed around by Elena’s power. Love it
(IGA SERVES) CONSTANT LOLLIPOP, OPPONENTS MUST PLAY, (INSIDE BASELINE) & PUNISH HER FIRST SERVE, WITCH IS AT BEST AVERAGE. ELENA'S SERVE, IS A MONSTER. SHOULD WIN MANY MORE MAJORS.🤔🤔🤔.
quality tennis
Finally a Kryptonite for Super Iga... RG will be very interesting!
Such a shame, that was thunder and lightning, stunning display of hitting the ball with exquisite timing. And they both do it differently which adds another layer of intrigue
Yes! They will compete in grand slam finals one against the other! ( grunting- free!)
This match singlehandedly made Rybakina a better clay court player. In the beginning she was completely outmatched but in the 2nd set Rybakina was starting to hit some very good shots on the move. In the Australian Open Rybakina was adding volleys into her repertoire, in Indian Wells she was hitting good lobs and in the final of Indian Wells she finally beat Sabalenka by learning how to hit some down the line winners instead of always hitting hard cross court winners, then she added drop shots in Miami, and now she is learning how to play offensive and defensive tennis on the move. By this time next year Rybakina will be a 6 foot tall Ons Jabeur with a much better serve and much more power, that is scary.
Good to see sabalenka and rybakina preventing swiatek from taking it all
Happy that Rybakina has won against Iga! Again!
Iga is good but she doesn't have a magnanimous heart towards her challengers especially someone as consistent as ERy (in case you think it's the one-title wonder 😄). Iga has lost 4 times to ER this year. Elena is like a black horse with nothing to lose and only everything to gain. She is calm and cool as ice. Elena is there to earn her money but she doesn't need to do it with a ready-for-war, ready-to-make-enemies face. Just like ash barty, ons J, Beatriz haddad maia and victoria azarenka who are some of the superb players with a big heart for friendship. Elena is cool. She will be blessed as no. 1. I enjoy watching all of them but personal favorite is Vika. She looked beautiful in a white jacket at Australian open 2023 against zhu lin. Love her big accurate serves and powerful backhand shots. Hope to see more of her. All the way, Vika! She actually looks so much more beautiful now compared to 10 years ago.
Elena is a bit autistic. I've seen her boil a few times when she loses, and there's no way to change that. She once tried to hit the racket on the court. It's never happened. I don't know where you see that Iga is not prone to friendly reflexes, I see it exactly the opposite. Look at Iga's friendly reaction when Ons was screaming. Elena is far from it.
This should be one of "match of the year" contender if Iga not injury Congratulations Elena rybakina and speed recovery for you Iga swiatek
The two most exciting women tennis players on the circuit to watch
i just find it odd that shes already injured yet again!
Go Ryba ❤
Iga better pray that Ryba is not in her half of the draw in RG or that someone takes her out in the early rounds.
It is just sport. If rybakina had better results she wouldnt be just no.7
@@black.cake1 She's is No 5 and soon will be No 1.
@@black.cake1 If she had the 2000 wimbledon points she would be #3
In fact both are in the same half of the draw at Roland Garros based on current ranking and both could meet at the quarterfinal stage.
Awesome.
No words can describe how amazingly fair player Elena is,just an phenomenal young lady in the true sense of the word!Love her!❤
Oui elle est géniale et elle va encore s'améliorer, notamment sur ses déplacements et son jeu de jambe
She’s the best
Congratulazioni Elena,i miei omaggi 👏👏👏💐😍🌹
Rybakina (Deadlock face) now still good on her way.!
If rybakina wants to defeat ostapenko...she needs to be ready to run at the corners and not stand still ....after serving recover quickly and start moving.....penko backhand is very good
On clay i dont think ostapenko will have any trouble defeating rybakina.
Rybakina has become a pain and wall for Iga. Not too many players have that record.
Ostapenko is also a great wall against Iga
New number 1
Elena ❤
