Both so powerful even without being loud. love it!
No screams and shrieks ... just quality tennis and highly likeable talents
Ikr
Shut up !
Amen to that! I hate screaming players like Collins, Sabalenka and the likes…
How calm and cool is Ash? I think it’s her greatest weapon. She never appears like she’s gonna lose, even when behind. So impressive!
Yes, I agree.
Her poise reminds me of Roger Federer
Great mental strenght and has all fondamentals
agree. no girl. not even this decade's serena has that kind of mental fortitude. she never yells. doesnt wven bash rackets
@@krdfl87 agreeee
Both fantastic women. Both played great tennis, and Barty was gracious in victory as was Swiatek in defeat.
Agree. These two and Osaka are great representation of women tennis. Hope they continue to be at the top.
@@dtv2031 They're the most quiet players of the tournament.
@@hank4920 That’s really good. No torture to the ears.
Where are all the Polish fanboys that normally show up after Iga wins? I do not like Swiatek anymore only because of these morons.
@@derstolperjochen1719 We are here, respectfully letting Ash shine, as she should after her win 🤗
Barty is just so solid - mentally and physically
Perfectly agree
That's why she's world number one!!🌏🥇🇦🇺🎾
MENTALLY. you can say that again. most if not all wouldve wilted from swiateks lasers. im looking at you former queen halep. lol
Yep, with each match she wins she gets stronger. People question her legitimacy for being No. 1. Hope she can prove them wrong with another GS title. Osaka has been dynamic and powerful on the hard courts but has been less consistent when she's away from her favourite surface.
@@psifoo Osaka is just a hard court bully...nothing special about her.....After serena and kvitova, Barty is the only current WTA player to have won titles on all three Surfaces (Hard, clay, Grass).
The future of the WTA is bright with such talented and likable stars as this. Tremendous talents.
her variety. Love watching Barty!!
This comment didn't age well.
My two fav players in the tour right now
Iga is only 19 people forget how young she is. The girl is new and learning. Ash too solid and experienced.
I've always said let's give her time, Iga is really special from her strokes down to her movement and down to her tennis IQ
Lol. That's an excuse. She trashed everyone at RG,
She is twenty. Helluva beautiful game on clay.
I think her title in Paris was thanks to the conditions that fit her though. Her powerful play isn’t that effective when it’s warm and the balls aren’t so heavy. I hope she can pullt it together and beat the top players again and not be the next ostapenko
@@larbil26 true. Also it was really cold there, she is used to such weather
Brawo Iga...! Super walka...Glowa do gory...! Twoj czas nadchodzi...! 🇵🇱🌹🌹💜🌹🌹🇵🇱
Чего же ей не достает?
Such gifted players - and gosh, no horrendous bellowing. Wonderful
Yes... almost SERENE...and so unlike ... :D:D we know who, right?
@@nick_czem_nick656 I know Serena will get the most attention because she's one of the GOATs. But let's be honest, Serena was nowhere near the worst in terms if grunting. Sharapova and Azarenka were worse. There are other players who grunted even during drop shots 😂
Two wonderful players. Glad to see the slice backhand still being used effectively as a weapon.
Barty is a deserving number 1 ❤❤ She's magic
Really niceeeee Iga!! You are a sweet person and great player 2 :* Just a matter of time we spot you in top-10 WTP ratings. Well done :) Congrats for both players!
@@shaukahodan2373 there she is number 9 in the world 🤍
It's such an amazing thing to see an all around player really figure out how to play their game and not choking on their options. She looks really comfortable in her game and with her variety. Love watching Barty!!
Iga was great too.
I hoped Iga to win, but I absolutely love Ash, too! I think Iga really needs these kind of matches with the best on tour now. This experience will pay off in the future and make her stronger.
Agreed. The harder you get your a** kicked the greater the lesson. She may also benefit by replacing her current sports psychologist.
I don't think she got a bad hiding today, with Muguruza and Konjuh yeah that was kind bad but I agree, she needs to be tested against the best
@@demigod1013 Ass kicked? Hard? Who? Pliskova? Now, that is ASS KICK and hard.
Those games against Ash payed off nicely for Iga. Such a shame for tennis Barty decided to retire so early.
Love you iga.... From indonesia
Swiatek is so talented and she will only get better. Looking forward to these two meeting again in the future.
Congratz Asleigh! Don't worry Iga you're just 19 yrs old you have a very bright future!👍🎾
Congratulations to Ash!!! Iga always with you. Good match, your time will come.
Lots of great and pretty shot from Iga but Ash is just so calm and chill. Her greatest asset, imo.
Barty is really proving that she's World Number 1! Damn!
The thing I love most about Ash is that she doesn't feel like she has to prove anything to anyone. She just goes on about her business. Winning or loosing, she seems so composed. Win or loose she is always so gracious and gives the nicest handshakes/acknowledgements to the other player.
She's so professional.
Very well said!!!
I agree! I wish she would come back, but I don't think that will happen.
The thing I love most about Ash is her tennis. Incredible stuff.
The most important shot in tennis is the serve - that's why Barty wins so much. She got the topspin-slice up the tee and kicker outwide on the Ad. Mixes it up nicely
She can hit flat aswell
Barty is a real number one!
Congratulations to Ash!!! Iga always with you. Good match, your time will come.
We are so very proud of you Iguś!
Iga you are great! 💪🔥It was so close. New experiences from which you will learn. We are waiting for the next great matches. Now we are cheering in doubles 🇵🇱
I think the same.
2020 vs 2019 french open winner Expecting one of them to win again french open
I am in love with Iga 😍 ❤️
Really niceeeee Iga!! You are a sweet person and great player 2 :* Just a matter of time we spot you in top-10 WTP ratings. Well done :) Congrats for both players!
Barty is really my favorite player, not only because of the beauty of her shots but also the accuracy of her tactical sense. I would love to have everything about her tennis except her backhand spin, I keep my one handed backhand 😋
Appears that Swiatek serve has improved. She will be a major force in the future. There were some really nice points in this match.
a pat on the back of iga by ash. love that gesture. so sisterly.
I love how two french open champion face off each other when in a good form, they both attacking and defending like very smooth and moving very elegantly AND the most important thing they don’t GRUNT SHRIEKS AND SCREAM. So calantly they play each other shout out to barty who are the better player here
Barty has an incredible serve which made the difference, and for now, she's superior; but Iga has so much tennis in her racket... she deserved a third set, but sometimes you just reap less than you sow. Iga is the future, we just have to wait a little bit, and enjoy the ride.
Time will tell on that prediction but a great match from two great players.
Iga appears to be so arrogant and annoying!? Like a spoilt brat. If she won a gs @ 19 she thinks she can conquer world. Same happened 2 bianca!
@@kamipersonal2687 Have you ever met her personally? She's super humble, kind and lovely. What's more, she always smiles during handshake with the opponent
@@kamipersonal2687 Where does that come from? She's unfailingly gracious to other players. I guess you have chosen to see what you want to see instead of what's in front of you
@@kamipersonal2687 I have not noticed that trait with Iga but Andreescu spot on. As Kerber said at the time to much criticism "The greatest drama Queen of all time"!
Ash has won me over at this point. Probably the most consistent #1 since Serena, however she hasn't played any last year, so we'll see how the rest of the season and next year goes.
Definitely Ashley is as cool and calm as she can be under immense pressure from an incredibly talented youngster.
I don't see her as consistent. She should have a lot more grand slams by now considering her position. She's just happens to be the best player during this power vacuum in women's tennis.
@@monica012077 3 grand slams now
@@dundalis She's a weak era champ. Couldn't handle the heat during the Serena Williams/Sharapova years. She had to stick to doubles until the greats were past their prime.
@@monica012077 That's just such a bunch of crap.
Iga is great, keep fighting!
Both are my favorites.I can't choose one.Hope to see them last two fighting.Two beautiful players inside and out 👏😊
Superb/masterful performance by Ash Barty. She is truly number one.
Great match between two champions and without screaming - this is so satisfying. Congrats Ash! Iga see you soon in Rome :)
Go Iga you are awesome ... next time 🔥💜
I'm on the "Barty Band Wagon" whenever Miss Ash is on the trail.
If she doesn.t watch out her physique is gonna give!! Last year she played next 2 none.this year.on a roll! Hmmm...
Barty Party Wagon!
Hopefully at least 20 more matches between them. Well done Ash. Keep going Iga!
Brawo Iga - the best preparation in reaching the top. You are no1 just one year later. 🙂
I love both players, congratulations Ash, you're proving you deserve the number 1 in the world!
Iga really has to work on that serve. I hope her team will do something with it, because right now her serve simply pulls her down, both tactically and mentally. If her coach doesn't have proper knowledge, there's always someone who can be hired for the job.
yeah her coach is ex bad player, now the question is if it's not only exceptional Iga's talent who allowed to win 2 tournaments, regres/no progress is worrying
@@besty7 Her coach wasn't really a pro player - he skipped this stage, very quickly became sparring partner and then Iga's secondary coach - he's her main coach for four years or so.
Iga moves beautifully on clay and strikes a heavy ball, but the serve really does need some work. Hopefully it's something she'll improve moving forward.
Not easy to change a service action. A critical coaching responsibility at young age and thats not 19.
I don't think the serve is at all bad, she probably has one of the heaviest kick serves out there and a good first serve but it's just staying tight behind her serve that's the problem because she has really good returns. I say this because she can win 6-1 and the one being a break so the moment she tightens her service games then she'll probably be one of the greatest of the decade because she has everything else
Iga is only 19! at the French open 2020 final she was calm and focused doing her thing winning in 2 sets but I think it’s the pressure of facing the no1 in the world for the 1st time despite being calm and focused, Iga has her whole career ahead of her its always tough facing the mo1 player even on your best surface I hope this doesn’t affect Iga clay court greatness, she started dong her thing 3-0 up then showing how hard it is to stay on top against the no1 started to appear. Lessons create great champions.
Barty has a deceptively underrated game - watching her, you wouldn't be able to tell she's the world number one, and yet she has great tennis IQ and slowly takes apart opponent's game, and dictates the match on her terms.
Your totally spot on matey 👌🏽 on court she looks very average but she is a true champion
Nicely put
What does a number 1 player look like?
Well having a primary slice BH isn't ideal in today's tennis. Steffi Graf played with a slice BH in her era and I could not imagine anybody excelling with that In this era!! Amazing. The men's though it would Definitely be impossible. Steffi and Ash both #1 seeds which Is incredible
@@nathaliethomas9719 some one who plays with an all or nothing mentality no fear whatsoever someone Who can bounce back when losing afew games , that’s what makes someone number 1 and that’s ash Barty
Could be the new WTA clay rivalry here. Great match
Easy to say....Ashleigh Barty deserves to become number 1 world ranks....well done👍
Two of my favorites.
Two of my favourite female tennis players. A real pity one of them had to lose...
You mean "use"....?
Wouldn't it be awesome to see them battle it out at the French Open finals..
Yes, indeed
Iga, 2 things have let you down: patience and your serve, that needs to be urgently addressed if you want to compete against top dogs
How good was that game! It could have easily gone to 3 sets but Ash just played the bigger points better and more consistent. I hope these two will play each other again deep in the later rounds of RG. Thoroughly enjoy both of their games 🙌
Sin gritos ni palazos al azar ,solo dos buenas jugadoras jugando buen tennis, fantásticas las dos
Barty's calm and mentality are another weapons, make her opponent feel unconfident. bravo!
That was a Big Time tennis match! Swiatek took many notes! I hope they meet in Paris for the Match of the Decade!
The variety in Barty game is just phenominal.................
Great job donne. Both player is very nice quiet. 🥰
2 great players. They play a beautiful tennis. They are humble and have a strong personality at the same time. Swiatek needs to reach another step to become the future number one she deserves to be. She first needs to work on her second serve. She has everything to make it an advantage. She will succeed. She is smart and mentally very very strong not to mention her athletic dynamism. We can feel she is actually practicing for Roland Garros. Good strategy.
Well play ladies!! Congrats Ash! Next round.
Kapitalny mecz. Iga grała tu świetnie. Już zapowiadała że będzie zdobywać najwyższe szczyty w tenisie !!!Great match. Iga played great here. She has already announced that she will conquer the highest peaks in tennis!!!
IGA, POPATRZ,JAK WSZYSTKO SIĘ ZMIENIA 💪💪💪💪. DZIŚ JESTEŚ NR 1. 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Barty ,So proud of you! no yelling, no throw racket...always calm and humble!👍🏻
Iga więcej chłodnej głowy i wzmocnienie serwisu. Gratuluję postępu i proszę o cierpliwość!!!!
Fun to watch! Nice to see the warm ending
Niezły mecz Igi. Sporo fajnych piłek i ciekawych akcji z obu stron.Mam wrażenie że forma idzie do góry i przyjdzie najlepsza dyspozycja w odpowiedni czas. Teraz Roma i kolejne ciekawe wyzwania. Gratulacje Dla Barty, za spokój i panowanie nad przebiegiem meczu. See you next time girls
I love them both ❤💪
Last 2 French open winners and 2 queens.
Ash is a great player, very gracious.
Soooo Good match
Iga played an impressive game today, but Ash was just too good. Congratulations Ash!! Great match.
Great win for Barty and I’m sure Iga will learn from this and keep getting stronger 👍
Being Polish-American, I was rooting for Iga, but this was a great lesson for her to learn against a player like Barty who has been at or near the top of the sport for a longer period of time. Having not watched a ton of Barty before, I gained a great deal of respect for her. Fantastic player, and comes across as very likable and easy to root for aside from when she plays Iga lol
Wow very Steffi like! Slice BH with the odd topspin from time to time. Never thought In this era cud anybody last with that. Steffi Graf must be proud!
Love Iga! Please work harder on your serve and pressure control! They're keys if you want to defend your RG title! And guys, please she's just 19! We being adult better encourage rather than pull her down!
i think her mental game. thats the key elemnt that Ash barty has. kinda similar to osaka except it gets to naomi during bad days
@@jnid1758 I agree, hopefully she'll improve it! I like Barty a lot also, both of them are inspirational!
I don't wanna bank on this but Iga is a different beast at grand slams also, I just hope she works on getting tight on her service games and she'll surely be able to defend her RG title because she's gifted in almost all parts of her game
@@jasonchigaazira862 sure
Excellent tennis!! Congratulations Barty 👍👌👌
Iga will be in number 1 spot in no time, her racquet ll tell the story 🤍🥂
Would absolutely want to see more head to head of these two!!
Barty played very complete and he deserved to play as Number one, Iga will definitely go on With this defeat.
ash is calm and cool and she’s so sweet
With all due respect to Simona, Naomi and the other ladies, I'd love it if these two competitors feature in the final at Roland Garros in a few weeks time. 👍
Same, especially after Iga's win in Rome.
This was the marquee march for me! Just tipped Barty's way. Looking forward to more battles with these two champs 😀!
Great rivalry of the future this!
A great match...funny it seems not very long ago that Barty was the up & comer, now she seems the veteran and of course Swiatek is still a teen .......These two will see a lot of one another in the future. Great match.
Jeszcze kilka małych kroków a Iga będzie niezwyciężona. Tak czuje po tym meczu. 💥
Święte słowa! :)
myślę, że w tej chwili Iga wygrywałaby z Barty. Zdobyła już doświadczenie i jest mocniejsza fizycznie. A technikę i finezję posiada nadal ;) W sensie Iga.
This kind of tennis is the beauty the world needs right now.
That should be a final, not 3rd round match. I love how respectful both players were. Also, first serve faults and double faults (on both sides) were caused just by that - both were worried the opponent can hit killer return, so took their risk on serve. Ash did it better, Iga must work on her serve and mindset.
best players i love to watch.
Ash is so much fun to watch. I'm so impressed with her game.
IGA needs consistency and good serve if she wants to win another GrandSlam otherwise it will be sooo difficult for her to win another slam
now she was no 1 ..unbelievable
Congrats Ash! I wouldn't have guess she won from the highlights. Seems to show Swiatek being aggressive and hitting winners most of the time.
Yeah. Its frustrating when highlights do that. Lack of objectivity. Happened to halep.too...a lot! 🤫
Swiatek did hit more winners
@@danielgeorgetheoneandonly She must have hit more unforced errors too?
@@psifoo she probably did but you're also forgetting the match was won by just a break in each set which is incredibly close, I didn't get the chance to watch it but I can bet you it wasn't easy on Barty's part because Iga does go after her opponents
@@danielgeorgetheoneandonly She only hit 2 more winners than Barty though? If I remember correctly Ash hit 20 while Iga hit 22
Go Aussie Go Aussie ! But I love Swiantek too!
Wow. Both can play great tennis.
WTA is in such a good and exciting place tight now.
It's better than the time og wozniacki and radwanska playing, they are acceptional good but not that excellent good ........
Barty's on another level right now. Sheesh.
I so want to see Serena v. Barty sometime this year
Barty will make her fall over...serena struggles against variety.
@@user-be5qg7mr1s I actually think Barty would struggle against Serena - I know she's not the fastest player anymore but she has the kind of power and shots to hit through Barty, and mentally I think is even tougher
@@11liamk1 I mean she can if the opportunity presents itself. Barty is more like Justine Henin or modern day graf.
@@11liamk1 barty lost 2 serena before, but i think she improved more these days. If only she could keep fit the deeper she goes in every tourney. Ash shd watch out overuse!
@@user-be5qg7mr1s Serena beat Barty on clay in 2018. Now a lot has changed: Barty is no.1 and Serena is more fit... Could be close. Definitely not as simple as you think.
Iga has the power but needs stable power.
She try hit the all the time. Sometimes don't work
Ash trying 2 prove she deserves spot after all those critics. Hopeshe listens to her body and knows when rest is due. Lu ma aussie girl! U rock on court!
Tactical player this Barty is, with enough raw power for offense. Her defensive skills are remarkable too.
Yes Iga is becoming a top player. But after she won Roland Garros everybody jumped on the bandwagon and said she’s the next greatest thing. She’s just a young player that played well that one time at one the grand slam, she’s not the next “greatest player”. Although I bet she will get into the top 10. Barty is the most professional player playing today. No screaming, no grunting, no howling, no yelling “come on” after every point, no melt downs, so childish nonsense like smashing a racket, no fake injury time outs. She’s proven once again she deserves to be number one.
U hv some good points in your argument, but... the grunting is only legal because its something natural, physiological. Many players, luke simona, dont do it on purpose... so grunting is not a criteria to asses work ethic here. I bet you both ash & simo hv great work ethic... similarly, with timeouts. When a player is young, like ash she.ll hv less medical issues... i.m surprised when young player like muchova takes medical, but even so we cannot be sure since (maybe) muchova not used to aussie sweltering heat, being european. So. You don.t know at this stage. Sometimes, we can hv a hunch that a player may do these on purpose. Players that may do these are (ret.) wozniacki, sharapova or even konta. My hunch... anyways, glad that toilet break is gone but girls need medicals. Especially, those not so young and prone to injury. Cheers!
By the way, iga may turn out to be like ostapenko or bianca andreescu...just winning gs when teenagers then fading into the pack... will just wait and see. 😉
@@kamipersonal2687 Oh I believe in medical time outs. But some of the tennis players take advantage of it. And I’m not saying other players don’t have work ethic because the player screams or grunts. It’s not something that just comes natural. People learn to do it, many tennis players don’t make a sound when the the bowl, it’s not necessary. Have you ever heard of golf or scream or grown or yell whenever they hit the golf ball? It’s a learned habit.
@@kamipersonal2687 And just to add, I differentiate between players that grant or scream every single time they hit the ball like Sabalenka, Riske,, Sorres Tormo and others, and in players like Halep, Muguruza and Serena who do it when the matches get tough. The ones that scream and yell and run every time they hit the ball or completely wrong and that should be made illegal. However, like I said in my other response many players don’t make a noise at all at any time and Barty is one of those players. The players that don’t make any noises prove that it’s not necessary to do it at all.
when you are the world number one a weight weighs on the shoulders. I want to see Barty lift a grand slam trophy this year 💙💙💜💜💚💚💛💛🧡🧡
So impressive for Ash to take this one in two. She just continuing to get get better and better on the clay.
