Elena's winning a lot of fans with her calm and quiet but deadly game.
She just saves her energy for the winning shots I think.
The translation of Rybakina's surname roughly means "Fisher". And she really catches her "fish" on the court, being calm and as concentrated as possible. But at crucial moments she acts precisely, powerfully and decisively.
Agree she is so calm.
She has a "meek and quiet spirit." And she crushes winners! A great combination. 😊
I watched this match and Iga Swiatek looked like a junior tennis player in comparison, incredible outcome.
what's remarkable is that Rybakina didn't even look like she had to push herself too hard or get too far out of her comfort zone to beat Iga. she pretty much just blew Iga off the court without any fanfare, grunting, shrieking, and all the other nonsense that many WTA players do to pump themselves up
Rybakina and her coach managed to solve the Iga puzzle and are now clicking it as if it were sunflower seeds. But unfortunately, Elena doesn't do it with all the players... Now there is some extremely talent-rich generation of players, in the TOP-10 everyone can win against each other.
I do agree with you. That fist pumping and shrieking is so annoying. She just goes about playing each point. I really like her.
What a graceful and dignified player is Rybakina. I like not only her game also her court behaviour during and after the match. One of the most versatile and dignified players I have ever seen.
agreed.same thing i like from her,she is different to other players
This is PURE UNADULTERATED TENNIS, folks! no drama, no beaking off, no pouting, no screamgrunting, just pure mental/physical EXCELLENCE for rybakina!! a TREAT to watch!!
lovely comment
So true, so true, so true. No drama, no screeching... Just feed me the damn round ball so I can flatten the living daylights out of it. Beautiful to see :)
Elena the face of an angel the tennis of an assassin ❤
Absolutely love Elena's zen-like mental state. Add to that, her refusal to play to the gallery - she remains a true-blue introvert who lets her racquet do the talking - hats off! A win against Iga is icing on the cake
@Doc Frank it's not only them, Medvédev, yousznhy (remember him hitting homis own head with the raqueta he cut himself?) Safin was known to be hot headed too, i would Say theres no 1 type of russian player in regard of personality on court...
@Arowolo Ayodeji i like more rybakina Style of Game, always attacking, if u like iga, good for you but IS not my choose of player, i am more into rybakina or sabalenka Style
@JSB You are 100% correct, those are total assumptions on my part, perhaps wishful thinking ha ha. But I did say she "seems" as such, leaving a bit of uncertainty, in that she could be "a not so nice" person off the court :)) at any rate, here's to my wishful assumption that she is nice, sweet girl after all he he
@why? "And not Iga" Such disrespect, why not pick up a damn racket?
@Alani Part of the game, they'll all need it @ some point in their careers
Elena keeps her composure whether she leads or not in the game. This is how she wins. She has developed nerves of steel and she is a force to be reckoned with.
Elena is my favorite player now. what a style and power with great composure. I wish we got players like her few years ago.
I loveee Rybakina’s style of play it’s so mathematical and composed. You can tell she’s thinking through each point knowing exactly where she wants to place every ball.
@LobsterFromMars hahaha! That's a good one. Maybe she spiked her drink
@mifu Rather, she somehow hypnotized Iga, who was simply not like herself. But this is not her problem, but coach Igi's. This is his defeat.
Yes, also the way she was reading Iga's game is fascinating.
The scary thing is Rybakina has considerable room for improvement
Елена растеттв Акулу тениса !
Да Елена растет в Акулу тенниса , и это здорово !
@tysontwenty it is only a one year difference. She peaked very late.
@notorious.explorer Actually that's not true, Rybakina is just under 2 years older, born 17th June 1999. Swaitek born 31st may 2001
Shes also 3 years older than Swiatek. Lets see if she manages to win another big tournament first.
Elena just treats the victory on the number one in a semi final like another walk in the park, ice cold, well deserved!!!
Iga got a taste of her own medicine. She was absolutely helpless. Elena is playing some incredible tennis right now. I hope she wins the whole thing.
@Beverlyann Gilbert Schooled? Lol. She double faulted 11 times in the first set and had set points. SABALENKA gifted her the match. 4-1 SABALENKA
@Rich kemp I guess Sabalenka is the one that got schooled.
@Rocky Morningstar SABALENKA gifted her the match with 16 double faults. Elena barely won .
@Rich kemp What did you say ??
@Rich kemp she wasnt yesterday....
Elena was top class today. Calm, compose and utterly focused what land her in winning side. Expectation from her now so high 😊
She’s the Kryptonite to Swiantek. Straight sets win again. Looking forward to the repeat of the Australian Open 😊
Elena is just amazing! She reminds me of Federer - calm, elegant, beautiful game and technique, and the feeling that all this is very easy for her!
@lol090914 Do you think Alcaraz has a more rounded court game than Federer had at this age?
@Veronica daisyandkheira But she does not have the game to play a Federer game, I see more similarities in Muchova's game to Federer's than Elena's game. Her demeanor on court is Federer like.
She did say Federer was her idol and she loved the way he played so effortless
@Wally Friend Technically Muchova is much closer to Federer than Elena, we can see that in their forehand strokes.
Great match. Elena shows her how matured she has become . She will be one of the top players in this new generation of players. I have been following her for the last two years because I saw her raw talent and now she is confident of her abilities. Too bad for the rest of the field including Sabalenka. She shows the ferocity of Sharapova but the calmness of Stefi Graf and of course the power of the Williams sisters. She will be multi grandslam soon as long as her health keeps up. I predict that she will be the next one to win on all different courts. She will continue to dominate Iga just like Serena did over Maria. Sorry Iga I backed you when you won your first grandslam but now there is a new superhero .
@pippadog Agreed. Hopefully her maturity will make her consistent.
Well, so far Elena has been a spotty player, capable of decimating opponents when she's on and capable of losing to just about anyone kind of like Kvitova. I hope she becomes a consistent threat as she has a beautiful game.
Iga will have to practice that down the line return, Elena was reading her game with ease.
I am so proud of Elena. I have been watching her for about 4 years now. I love watching her play. Graceful and elegant. No screaming, no drama. Just her racquet talking.
@QuadThreat85 I totally agree that she is horrible. I don't know how the commentators praise her so much. I thought I was the only one who didn't like her but now I'm looking on KZhead and it's great to read what others are pointing out about her. I'm thinking she must be on drugs, or medication of some sort or something, to act like she does... totally, totally frantic and just thinking about herself the whole time. Doing her very best to annoy and unsettle her opponent. She's all me, me, me, me. And she's never ready to go to the net at coin toss never! Always searching for something in her bag, always makes her opponent wait. I was so glad when she got a time violation a few tournaments ago. Can't stand her.
@Mary Kistnen she has a little bag of tricks. Waving her hands while she is at the net before the opponent hits a pass, retying her shoes between first and second serves of her opponent, changing rackets mid service game (of the opponent) because she lost a point, a few extremely questionable timing of bathroom breaks... She's horrible.
And their styles are so "beauty & Beast". Elena is graceful while exhibiting tremendous power and execution. Iga is pure physical commitment. Both very different but both very dangerous. Congrats to Elena for figuring out how to take apart the Swiatek game.
@QuadThreat85 'She (Iga) is very entertaining while losing. Literally like she doesn't belong on a tennis court at all💀💀💀' I absolutely love what you said there!!! I can't stand the player. She's so FRANTIC, with such an ugly technique, on the forehand anyway. She's the most unrelaxed player I've ever seen and it's so lovely to see her in meltdown!!!
She hits the ball like like there’s no tomorrow. she’s insane
Elena showed Iga who's the boss for the second time and I have no doubt she will do it again and again.
@Artur Grabowski No Excuses because Iga lost also to Rybakina in Australian Open 6:4 6:4 in last January.
Świątek said in a statement Wednesday(22.03) that she has been dealing with the injury since winning the Qatar TotalEnergies Open last month. “You know that in and after Doha, I was struggling with a strong infection,” Świątek said. “I was allowed to play, but a strong episode of tough cough led to a rib injury. - So it's a pity that she got injured before the match against Rybakina..
@Andrzej Grochólski You are jealous because Rybakina smashed Iga 6: 2 6: 2 and she will beat her again and again.
@Andrzej Grochólski So what if she was born in Moscow? you are slav Polish and she is slav Russian. You are one race.
Raducanu won USOpen once and? Rybakina is only a laborer. Nothing more.
Rybakina is my favourite player now - and has been since that magic Wimbledon run. If you notice, she's even wearing green emerald ear-rings for St Patrick's Day - and as an Irishman, I appreciate that. She's also beautiful, but that's another story which must not take away from her grace on court. Many players could learn from her, and I don't just mean about playing tennis.
Rybakina bardzo skromna osoba, zarazem elegancka i inteligentna no i nie krzyczy w niebogłosy na korcie itd. zycze jej zwyciestwa w tym turnieju
co tu wszyscy z tą skromnoscia?! co 5 komentarz to albo skromna, humble..itp sie niedobrze robi
@Andrzej Grochólski what's your problem? She's just another human being who likes playing tennis
@Andrzej Grochólski the war started in 2014? it was not DE FACTO. Ask European lawyers about it. Rybakina has nothing to do with Crimean peninsula and doping. She likes Kazakhstan and got Kazakhstani citizenship for that reason. Nobody forced her to do that
@Andrzej Grochólski Widocznie żyjesz, obecnie najlepsza!
@Jan Wilim Szombierki Najlepsza na świecie? Chyba żyjemy w innych światach.
So elated w/the outcome of the match! Iga looked less than ordinary, lost, and confused. Thx Elena for your outstanding performance 👏 ❤️
Elena is IGA's Achilles heel! Wow what a performance.
Świątek said in a statement Wednesday(22.03) that she has been dealing with the injury since winning the Qatar TotalEnergies Open last month. “You know that in and after Doha, I was struggling with a strong infection,” Świątek said. “I was allowed to play, but a strong episode of tough cough led to a rib injury. - So it's a pity that she got injured before the match against Rybakina..
@Daniel Gmerek How did she insult Sabalenka?
@Caroline Gardnerthan Iga would have been destroyed by peak Serena, Sharapova, Venus, Petra and Azarenka with those hard hitting.
@scout really like Barbora game hope to see her win the French Open and beat Iga along the way
Love Elena! My favorite player! Her style and grace is unmatched! That look she gave her coach in a previous game was so funny!
Yes Elena so happy you won, my fav female tennis player on tour right now since AO... humble and a phenomenal player
Elena is one of the quiet tennis players. Beautiful shots and good movement!
Rybakina studied Iga's quick movements and anticipation of the ball well enough to use it against her. It's all about getting the right angles when playing Iga. Iga can really be helpless and all that foot work can be flawed. Congrats to both, a great match to watch.
It seems Elena had much more success attacking Iga on the forehand side. Every time Elena contracted a point and hit a powerful shot to the backhand, Iga was able to counter well.
Agree, especially towards the end when Iga tripped over her own foot while trying to retrieve a ball.🤣
Elena was not playing NO GAMES! Really love watching her play. She hits such a crisp ball and her focus is A1!
Rybakina’s composure in these big matches…she doesn’t lose focus often and that’s what will help her win more slams
Iga got the taste of her own medicine. What a clinical performance from Rybka. She is definitely hitting her stride towards the peak of tennis. Well done
Elena is so many immaculate and flawless. She has a huge dominance and wide mastery against the adversaries. She roundly dictates the games with her potent forehand strikes, subduing the players in the critical positions. Moreover, the rocket serves are always the largest weapon of Elena Rybakina to maintain her preeminence. Undoubtedly a magical game from Rybakina!
Exceptional play by Rybakina against an exceptional player! Women’s tour in great shape right now.
Elena's cross-court forehead was especially deadly, sometimes stunning Iga, and Iga had no answer for it. WTG, Elena!
So unfortunate that the crowd showed how onesided they are and did not recognise and applaud the brilliant display of power tennis by Elena. Keep doing what you are doing Elena. You will be number one soon. Hope you get this win over Aryna. You deserve it.
Rybakina Number One in 2035, maybe.
Elena is so calm and elegant...she has no drama, no shouts no mourns 😂.....she is classy....I am so happy she won this
Elena with all the certainty in the world, is Iga's kryptonite. Incomparable and impeccable.
Лена, спасибо ! Уж слишком много о себе она возомнила в последнее время, поверила в свою непобедимость, в то, что может указывать Российским игрокам чуть ли не как им в туалет ходить)
What a show! I am fan of Rybakina and Qinwen Zheng! Also, what a final that will be, Aryna vs Elena! Insane final was in AO.
No screams, no drama, no politics, just cross court winners from Rybakina, this is the type of tennis I wanna watch
Yes, just simple one-dimensional boom boom tennis. That's Rybakina's tennis.
Elena has been Iga's kryptonite this year.
She is making No.1 looks like some qualifier! Amazing Rybakina!
I’m Polish , I saw the game and you are absolutely right.
Rybakina! What a game against world N1. She have never played at this level with rare mistakes. Impressive 👏 would like to see more this kind of play
Well done Elena. She's fast becoming my favourite tennis player
She's become my favorite player. Such elegance, resilience, professionalism!!
Not sure why Iga did not fight harder.... seems she was too surprised with how clean and precise Elena played...
I was hoping for Iga to win but Elena was just relentless, merciless and precise ❄️ I hope Iga learn to play better against Rybakina so this rivalry turn into something fun and exciting 🔥
Go Rybakina go...one of my favorite WTA players. So low key yet so good!
If Rybakina can beat Sabalenka now she is going to have limitless confidence for years.
Needless to say, I wasn't expecting such a clinical dispatch of the best WTA player on tour right now, is she tired or something? Or is Elena just wayyyyy too good? I can't tell but congrats to both ladies anyway and rooting for Elena to go all the way!
Elena continues her rampage, love seeing her topple Swiatek with such ease! What a champion! But why in these tournaments now there are so many empty seats?! If you cant fill them, then at least give them to a local school or something!
Rybakina champion of what? Empty seats? Tennis level is too high for Amecicans to understand.
Love it!!iga was crushing everyone..glad to see someone matching and surpassing her speed among many other things!!Elena❤ its like iga had no fight left...nothing was working...crushed!
Wow - she really does make it look easy. Congrats Elena!
Rybakina made swiatek look like an amateur. What a match. She is definitely Swiatek’s kryptonite.
They still say that Iga is unbeatable. Ha Ha. How many beat Iga n surprise, surprise even Haddad Maia beat Iga.
Just wait....
@Sameer Sagar 🤭
Seems like her and krejcikova
I am so pleased it's a swiatek free final and that rybakina showed her who's the real boss.
Its not easy to send Iga home with a 2 & 2, yikes. The silent assassin has struck again. Was she wearing back magnets a few days ago? I thought she got a huge tattoo on her back but its gone. Iga seems like the kind of person of when she loses, she goes home and practices for 4 hrs. Elena just seems so calm.
What a dominant play by Rybakina.
Tremenda paliza de Ribakina!! Ahora toca final de sacadoras; aunque las dos han mejorado mucho en el peloteo! Bravo Elena!!
Iga has all the talent and determination to level up against Rybakina's play. It's her team's duty to find the way. 💪
Нету пути с её физическими данными, всё она не соперница для Рыбакиной
У Иги страх перед Рыбакиной , поэтому она всегда будет ей проигрывать ! Из за страха , Ига снялась с турнира Майями и прикрылась травмой ребра , но на самом деле , она здорова .И побеждает Ига только тех у кого в голове что она первая ракетка хотя ее и Крейчикова побеждала !
In the meantime, Iga's scalp is hanging as a hunting trophy on the wall at Rybakina. Iga is a talented athlete, but it seems that politics takes a lot of her time. By the way, do all Poles like that she wears the flag of Stepan Bandera? 💀💀💀
I was fortunate enough to see Elena play in Toronto's WTA 1000 event last year, and even though she lost to Gauff in that match (Gauff had the defensive match of her life), I was blown away by the fluidity of her strokes and how effortless the power is she can generate on both the back- and forehand wing. At the time her foot speed was her achilles heel around the court, but in the off season she seemed to improve this aspect of her game, as she's getting to a lot more balls out wide, fully balanced, resulting in, a higher percentage of hard driven balls being administered to her opponents. It is devastating; most women, save for Sabalenka, cannot handle the barrage of pace Elena can now bring to a match. If she remains healthy, I would not be surprised if Elena (or Sabalenka, to be fair) were #1 by the end of the year.
@deepak mahajan If it was that easy, She won't be No 1
@Aleks Лена приятная спокойная девушка, а Арина огонь - амазонка , яркая( а вкусах не спорят) - и если в тему спорта - великолепны обе и мы им желаем почаще встречаться в финалах . А обратите внимание - нигде организаторы и прочие иностранные журналисты не упоминают их национальность . И их победы ещё больше укрепляют посыл для их дальнейших побед !
Ok coach😂
@deepak mahajan yes I totally agree too bad she's no longer in mix
Even ostapenko shows best plan to beat iga. Outhit her and take away the time. As she needs it to set her forehand
this is going to be very interesting year in women's tennis! congratulations to the winner, hugs for the looser, sport is very difficult job, I can't even imagine to be putted on such a display every week at my job, so huge respect from my side!
Elena, like Barbora, is one of the few players that Iga struggles terribly with. They are nightmares to her
I always knew the current generation of women tennis had potential to be great and consistent. And exactly players like Rybakina, Sabalenka and Krejcikova make the women tennis more exciting! Yeah, although the lost, Iga is still a great player, but she needs competition! That's great not only for us, as fans, but also for her, as player, because she would work to improve it. And i think Elena Rybakina could be her biggest kryptonite for long years... She has the playing style and mentality to be champion for long years!
@Lone Star yes totally agree loving the consistency now with Krejcikova Rybakina and Sabalenka now Iga has real competition
Elena definitely got Iga's number. You're absolutely right, as it only increases competition. Post-Serena WTA is as exciting as never before. Iga's demolition of her opponents was getting kinda boring.
Swiatek's heavy high bouncing top spin doesn't bother Rybakina because she's 6 feet tall! The ball bounces right at her strike zone!
Classy person she seems. Definitely going for world number 1 soon .
It's not a mental block that's preventing Iga from playing well against Rybakina. It's the powerful, flat balls from Rybakina which doesn't give Swiatek enough time to set up her shots. Iga likes slow, spinny balls like Gauff's, and only Rybakina in the WTA gives her consistent, powerful flat balls from both forehand and backhand. That, combined with Rybakina's serve which i think is the best in the WTA, is just too much for Iga to handle.
Swiatek didn't hit with enough depth, if you bounce balls on the service line it's easy for Rybakina to setup and hit, and she has enough power that even Swiatek can't get them back. Rybakina's weakness is mobility so you've got to hit deep into the corners and Swaitek couldn't do that today.
Swi will figure her out and beat her in the near future. Sakkari used to do the same to Swi in their earlier Matches.
100%.
Elena does to Iga what Iga does to Coco
Good analysis, what your point of view about the final ?
hats off to the spirit of iga... she gets there not to be sour and to cry. But to compete and to be happy and to be part of the tennis happy atmosphere. She is part of what we all aspire as tennis player. To challenge opponents to play and be fair. But beat them within that fairness. Love her too!
She and Barbora are my fav. Solid tennis, no grunts and no dramas. 😊
@Wolfgang Wiesinger I agree she played an incredible match or that she is consistent. Her matches are great to watch!
@Zweig Ackroyd Swiatek strong side is her consistency, so she might even stay on rhe top, but the level Rybakina reached in this match was incredible imo.
@Wolfgang Wiesinger Not sure what you mean by "strongest". I like Rybakina, but to suggest she's better than Williams is not supported by any evidence. In fact, the evidence suggests she's not up there with Graf, Seles, Navratilova, Barty, etc etc etc. Even the suggestion that her movement is better than Serena's is likely a product of recency bias. Will she rise? Very possibly. Will she make #1 some day? Also very possible, but not a given. It's not even clear she'll have the better career and record than Swiatek.
I would not call this solid tennis, currently she might be the strongest player of all time, there is just no weakness. She has compareable power as Williams, but her movement is better.
@Blue Mountain I kind of admire Osaka for living her own life. It's a shame she struggles so much with the performative aspects of the sport, but that's what leads to the enormous paychecks.
Финалда тек жеңіс тілеймін! 👏🏻🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🏆
The contrast in the final with the loud and fiery Sabalenka will be very interesting. Both absolute beasts but their personalities on court are so different!
Rybakina's game is such a throwback to the early to mid 2000s golden era of tennis. She reminds me of the Serena, Capriati, Venus, Clijstrers, Davenport, Hingis, Seles etc. era.
I love how Elena is always calm and just play the match. It’s so great watching the match without screams and childish tantrums. Elena is the best right now. ❤️💚💕
I hope she beats Sabalanka
I noticed it only now. Sabalenkas biggest weapon against Elena is maximum loud grunting and screaming
@Salvador Rada ok let's see what happens.
@Rahul Barman Sabalenka will just increase her screaming and yelling to 200 more decibels.
Until she face sabalenka
Coming soon to be new No.1 Elena Rybakina. Amazing technique. Great attitude. Love her
Well deserved victory, good luck for the final, and wish you all the best for your future. ❤
Elena from the beginning was successful in making Iga lose confidence and mentally becoming out of balance. Watch Swiatek in the break after the 7th game: she wanted to drink water without removing the bottle’s cap. This shows her unbalanced frame of mind throughout the match. Her defeat has nothing to with an ailing rib. Good luck Elena in the final.
Congratulations to Elena and commiserations to Iga.. As I love Iga, her loss is upsetting and hard to swallow, nevertheless Elena is a deserving winner (and I yet have not plucked up the courage to watch the highlights . Ouch) and a lovely woman
Today Elena is powerful! Fantastic display of calm power!
The only path to beat Swiatek is getting more and more clear. She is vulnerable against a strong and acurate server. She can't engage her retruns in a proper way. Consequence: she feels a lot pressure on her own serve and she has problems to handle it.
@Michel LauzonShe said the young Serena.
@Ivan PetrovSwiatek's EGO, she can't accept Rybakina played a better game instead she proclaims to have a shoulder injury and may miss the Miami open 😢
@Mary Kistnen Worst tennis match from Iga ever. Embarrassing😮😮
Iga forgot to show up for the match
@John Liang Swiatek doesn't have that talent. Rybakina exposes Swiatek's dreadful forehand technique. All she is is a frantic player and thankfully we have a beautiful player, and person, in Rybakina.
Wow! Rybakina definitely has Iga's number. Despatched her comfortably today.👏👏👏
I wish Elena the overall victory!!!❤
Probably the coolest player on the tour...nothing seems to distract her
I think this will always be a matchup issue for Iga. Iga’s heavy spin is an advantage against most players but it works against her against Rybakina because of her height and flat strokes. The ball is frequently right in her strike zone and allows Rybakina to hit down on the ball aggressively without taking a lot of risk
Just finished watching this March impressive win for Elena I hope the finals will be a 3 set battle like AO final with Rybakina for the win 🎉
After all AO loss was no fluke, this loss is even more lopsided. Welcome to the final Elena 👍👏
This is their 3rd meeting of the year
Big fan of Iga but she has no answer to Rybakina! convincing victory 👏 Elena is going to be the next number 1 and I can see her defending her Wimbledon title 👍 congratulations Elena poetry in motion 👏👏👏
Elena is the real deal! Swiatek couldn’t read her strokes and where to go. Very interested to see the final again against Sabalenka. Wimbledon 🏆 AO runner up🏅 she is definitely top 3 and can become no. 1 if she can keep this level for the rest of this year. She is so resilient. With a bit more flavors in her game plan nobody can come near her in the future. I think I have become her supporter now 😊
Wow great job Rybakina. Iga’s kryptonite!!! This will be an amazing final with Sabalenka I am torn on who I want to win two great players that will be hitting massive winners. Can’t wait for this battle of the juggernauts!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Просто умничка,больше нечего сказать
Elena is humble ..congrats
I really enjoy watching Elena play. She can cover a lot of ground with her long legs. Her serves are also a strong point. I totally loved her win over IGA. No big fist pumps.VERY HUMBLE WINNER
Yes, I guess, because of respecting of the one she just beat, never seen her big fist bump or does something like that after became victor. what a rare personality of a tennis player .... she got my heart and my love
Rybakina went next level.
No doubt about who the best 2 players in the world are right now: Saba and Rybka. The next 2: 1ga and Krejcikova. Next 2: Pegula and Bencic. I just wish we would finally get some good matches, a classic here and there between these players and not just drubbings.. hoping we get a classic in this final and Elena takes it, she absolutely deserves it 💪
A complete demolition. Rybakina is unreal… 🎉
To me, Elena is playing better than she was at the Australian. I hope she gets the victory tomorrow. Hats off to her. She has worked so hard to get to this point.
Disagree, see her matches before the one against Iga
She lost Aus mentally, otherwise she is superior.
She plays a calm, precise and deadly game. The only thing I don’t get is how she handles her over excitable coach talking to her like she just started playing yesterday.
Молодец, Лена. Уверенная победа над первой ракеткой. В финале если соберётся, победит. 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Gratulacje dla Kazachstanu ❤
Какая красотка Елена! Поздравляю с выходом в финал!
Elena has won me over a long time ago. I’m a huge fan of her and will be rooting for her all the way. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Удачи в финале 🥇🏆🏆🏆🎈🌺🌺🌺🙋♀️
