Petra proves veterans can still be competitive and just as dangerous as new generation. Congrats Petra 🎉
I dont think you understand what a veteran means.
New generation flavor of the month club.Flying high in April shot down in May.Hear today gone tomorrow.The It Girl of the month Club.
@@fallendevonish1869 You're clueless
@@fallendevonish1869 better delete your comment
@@fallendevonish1869 you’re the one who doesn’t know what veteran means. A veteran actress or singer is someone who has done her craft for a long time, just like a veteran tennis player like Kvitova who started playing on tour since 2006.
Petra's tennis is an absolute joy to watch. Love how she grabbed that title when everyone was thinking Sabalenka od Rybakina are going to win.
*Whatttttttt????!!!???*
@@leonardobraynen1524 huh?
Sabalenka and Rybakina both in fact did wib.
@@janparchanski9242 thats what am talkin about; Am trying to understand what Danuta Rybacka is attempting to say. It appears English aint their first language.
Wib = win. The w and the b are next to each other on the keyboard. It was a typo. Grow up.
So happy for Petra! A well deserved win against the most in form player at the moment and a more than well deserved tournament victory. Always a class act and a favourite to watch of mine for years. I hope she gets more big tournament wins as the season progresses, to still play at this level after most top players from her generation have faded is incredible.
Nah, she will probably lose early at slams like usual. Hasn't gotten past Rd 4 in 3 years.
What a tie break! A well-deserved victory for Petra. Rybakina you are great and I keep my fingers crossed for you. Still a lot of finals ahead of you ❤️
Agree so much with your comment, a brilliant match, from both players. Kvitova had so much magic off her racquet, and Rybakina so, so good, and so graceful in defeat.
I bet to win for Kvitova. A completely convincing victory.
*tiebreak
OMG. Congrats to Petra. She is in prime form. Elena hasn’t lost me though. She is heading onwards and upwards , don’t worry about that. She deserves a good rest after these last two tournaments. The women’s game is so competitive right now.
P
It was one of those matches where I wanted both to win!
Don’t think she’d be bothered if she “lost” you
Woooo!!!! Not gonna lie I was soooo nervous that first set!!! She really pulled through! Sooo happy for her(and for me)
Won a wager?
Oh it’s just I’ve been following her for years now. Ever since I was little! Sooo happy to see her win another tittle. Let alone a 1000 event!
Petra was absolutely brilliant, on her day she can still beat the best players on the biggest stage
On a fast court, yes she can
@@A_friendwithoutbenefits you forgot she got 3 Madrid clay titles and also went to semi of French open couple years ago. She’s a pretty all around player
Petra has done it all. She has won 30 titles on all different surfaces..when she's on no one can live with that power
@@TY-vd7fs she’s a great player on any surface, but she’s stronger on faster courts than slower courts, a pusher she is not. and whilst shes been successful on clay in the past, she’s not young by tennis player standards and won’t want to be getting into regular extended rallies at 33 years old.
Her road was so easy
Petra is like If you are bad then I am your DAD. 2 times Wimbledon champion win over 1 time Wimbledon champion. Both played great. Congrats Kvitova.🎉
Both played and lost an enthralling Australian open final as well
@@martinhudecek8886 Rybakina lost to Sabalenka dude not Kvitova in Aus Finals
@@coolyoutuber6237 they said both lost close Aus finals. Kvitova lost to Osaka 3 yrs ago
What a class from Kvitova, on and off court 🫶🏻 Well deserved win in style 🏆
*Kvitova has so much class
Still got it. Kvitova showed she can beat anyone when she’s playing like this on a fast surface. I’m not sure she’s consistent enough to get back into the top 5, but she will pose a big threat to Elena’s title defence at Wimbledon.
She hasnt done well at Wimbledon in a while
@@robbyten100 she hasn't got past QF in miami ever before this so what's your point
The winner is still serena williams
@@wimzswimz9843 it’s irrelevant to bring up Serena in a conversation about Kvitova. What is your point, we all know Serena is a winner
@@wimzswimz9843 seriously what's your point here man
This first set was INSANE ! wow
Great match 👏🏻 but I wasn’t shocked by the result. Kvitova is more dangerous off the ground; she’s more powerful and the better shot-maker. Elena’s biggest weapon is her serve but once Petra gets her serve back deep, the advantage quickly turns to Petra and Petra’s serve is also strong so it was always going to be tough. Kvitova’s never lost a final in her whole career after winning the first set. I wasn’t sure Petra was going to be consistent enough today, but she was 👏🏻 Hopefully this is the warm-up for her third Wimbledon Title 🙌🏻🏆
revenge , Indian Wells pay back. hehehe.. love these Ladies
@@dimitria8493 Folks seem to forget how tricky it can be to play a lefty! Lots of shots Rybakina looked to be caught by surprise, as if she wasn’t used to the way the ball was returned!
@@dimitria8493 I didn’t know for certain, but I noticed all the previews I saw backed Rybakina to win comfortably. Rybakina has been in better form, but game-wise, unless Kvitova has a really streaky day then this match up is good for her so I predicted she’d win in two if she was consistent enough 🙌🏻
@@kriskanei7369 True, but I don’t think that was solely due to her being lefty, Kvitova’s shot-making is ridiculous and caught her off guard. Other girls like Sabalenka, Osaka, Keys hit as hard as Petra but they don’t have the same natural shot-making ability. She’s an anomaly, she’s got ridiculous power with great hands. This match up suits Kvitova.
Obdivuji psychickou odolnost Petry, ta fyzická je rovněž impozantní! Petra je navíc i krásná a sympatická žena. Přeji jí ještě mnoho dalších, stejně fascinujících úspěchů!
Oo Lord how happy I am to see Kvitova win. Please win another slam after this.
Doubt it
Lol
Yesterday I heard questions: "Who stop Alcaraz?!!! Who stop Rybakina?!!" Hmm😊 Thank you Sinner and Petra Kvitova for your great answer🏆🏆😍😍💪💪💪💪💪
The double Sunshine is not an easy one ;) Both Alcaraz and Rybakina looked exhausted in their respective matches after these successive runs.
I think they had an issue with the longer than expected match times and hydration.
Yeah that's the main point
And in case of ER it was also the umpire which might stole the 2nd set
If people can take something away from you they will try harder than usual. This is why not many people won the sunshine double.
Both did not play at the same level as their indian wells semis and finals ! It's tough to win both for sure! Big respect to iga
Now that's what we call a Final...what a match! Congrats Petra🥳🔥❤️ #30🙌
An absolute masterclass on strategy, shotmaking, intensity, passion and persistence. The 22 minute tiebreak was one for the ages. So happy for Petra she absolutely deserves to be back there in the top 10!!!!
So happy for Petra. She overcame incredible odds to even return to tennis after the horrible knife attack and the resulting injuries, and now she's winning at the age, when many retire. Bravissima!
WHAT A FREAKING LEGEND
I am so happy for her. Long road back. Well deserved 👏
No grunts, no screams and yells. Just pure sport and competition. It appears that making noise isn't necessary to play tennis.
"I'm singin' in the rain Just singin' in the rain What a glorious feeling I'm happy again..." 😁🏆🎾🇨🇿🍷💪🏻
😂
Me too 😍
I remember back in 2011 when she won Wimbledon and wta finals, Kvitova was talked about the player who was going to be the one to beat. Even though over the years she has had inconsistent results, there is no doubt when she is on, she can hit anyone off the court. But she’s also a true fighter on the court. I would’ve loved if she won 2019 AO and received the trophy from her friend Li Na but it would be nice if she wins another grand slam. Such a humble player with a lot of firepower
But never became world no. 1 cuz of caroline wozniacki. Karolina pliskova could be better cuz she has become world no. 1 even though she has no GS title
My two favourite women's players on the tour, and the veteran won, God bless them both and so good to see. Congrats Petra.
it is SO good to be a kvitova fan right now ! :D
Petra's victory makes my heart so so happy. Kudos to her for still working so hard and beating decade younger most in form opponent inthe final to capture such a big title!
Tohle byl nejkrásnější titul Petry, drahá mám tě ve svém srdci ❤
to mi se libi
Wimbledon be like: 👀
Po dlhšej dobe fantastická Peťa! ♥
Gratuluji Petře z Polska, je fajn, že otřela nos této ruské Kazachy
@@jareks6814 what a nasty comment, what ever happened to some of you polish people? The Americans have made you crazy.
Amazing tiebreak, amazing Petra 💗🥳
so happy for Petra!!! you can never count her out ! big win for her congrats
Wow 😍! What an incredible match !! With unbelievable shot making! Petra Kvitová is the definition of a true champion 🏆🎾😍🏆🙏🏼
Wow she did it! A very good tournament by Petra. She is back in the game. Watch out for her at Wimbledon! 💪
Why not Roland Garros?
you never know with Petra - in the past she had MANY periods of fantastic tennis and then went out 1st or 2nd round at a slam :P however this was AMAZING from her!!!
Yeah I bet she loses in the first 3 rds. She is so inconsistent.
@@robbyten100 and yet she has the 2nd most title (active player ) after venus
Never doubt the Wimbledon Titles!
SO happy for Petra !
What an absolute joy to see this great win from Petra
The tie-break was amazing. It could have gone either way. Congrats to Elena for another great tournament and to Petra for winning her 9th Masters title and 30 WTA title overall. Great final. 2 Wimbledon champions. 🥳😘
Vintage Petra
Petra was sharp and relaxed after a weird start for both players. Elena tried but Petra was not to be denied. This MO has been smoking 💨💨💨💣😊
I honestly don't get why people are so surprised kvitova won. Did you see her performance against an unbelieveable alexandrova and an insane cirstea? That was crazy. Everyone could see that rybakina was getting tired as the tournament went on and she wasn't playing nearly as good as she was in indian wells. Sure she served insane but you can't serve bot your way to the title every time lol. Honestly, fair play to kvitova, a hero on and off the court. It didn't really seem like she could be back especially after australia where she made error after error, but she found the fight and form in indian wells (and even gor her mental toughness back), and finally found her game in miami. Congratulations petra, well deserved!
Right!!! I was shocked to see how heavily Rybakina was the favorite. Very crazy when you consider Petra's record in finals. If Petra makes the final, it means she's in 🔥 and is very difficult to stop in the final. She proved that yet again here and she actually out-powered rybakina from the baseline, and out-served rybakina with placement angles and accuracy. She also exposed rybakina's lack of variety
I'm so happy for Petra! ❤🔥 Well deserved!
Wow Petra, considering how she has contemplated how much longer she would keep playing….what a tournament and hopefully a career resurgence!!❤
Really happy for Kvitova! 👏👏👏
Petra at 33 beating inform player of season. Just imagine peak serena with peak petra vika Maria with their returns and game would've done to iga, sabalenka and Elena who are at their peaks. 2 slams are not enough for petra
What would they have done?? It's just your pure speculation.
Peak Serena, peak Maria and peak Vika will destroy all these girlies, thats for sure. 👍
@@kacperm6555 they r great returneea. Wouldve destroyed igas serve
@@guptajakusumahnagara1840 That's just your wishful thinking boy.
@@deepakmahajan170 I beg to differ. It's pointless speculating about the outcome of matches between past players in their peaks with current ones. I could easily imagine Iga from Rolland Garros 2020 defeating all the players that you mentioned. In fact those matches would probably be very tight and any of them could win on a given day.
Big Congratulations Petra! 🇨🇿🦁⭐30🏆👍❤❤❤❤❤
The most sympatic player on the entire tour, I grant such one more of that big tournament win (beside the Grand Slams) 🙏😇🤩💪🏽🍀❤️
So happy for Petra. She has come a long way since her knife attack. So gutsy. Always an inspiration. Keep going Petra !
love both of these players! Two of the humblest, most talented women on tour. And no grunting! I hope that they play for many more titles.
Huge congrats to Petra. Honestly I didn’t expect her to beat Rybakina, who is in such a great form. I think Petra simply had the tactical advantage. Also I noticed Rybakina kept playing her favorite backhand cross court into Petra’s forehand to put away,being a leftie. I hope Elena learns from this error and corrects it next time they meet. Congrats also to Elena. She has played some great tennis so far this year. Wishing both players the best of luck for the rest of the year.
Actually, Sharapova did it (keeping playing backhand cross court) to beat Kvitova so many times in the past. It’s a good strategy to play an aggressive lefty sometimes. The main difference is the consistency of her backhand.
@@ShiauJhe Sharapova was cheater so ot is bad example
One of the greatest of modern era, Petra! ❤
Two of my favs in the WTA tour, with their elegance and coolness. Happy to see Petra doing what she loves the best and she does it beatifully. Thank you. And for my fav girl Ryba, you are born a champion, with your Zen state mentality, you inspire all of us, and I am so greatfull to see people like you giving us hope to bear with this corrupt world❤❤
She is just tennis player, not pope. And after semi final drama with her coach and final hendshake today we can see she is not that nice like you think.
@@LordFluffymort I don't see anything wrong with this handshake. They don't have to hug eachother if they aren't friends.
So proud of Kvitova. That first set was insane
Petra to od lat jedna z moich ulubionych tenisistek. Super, że wraca do pierwszej 10. Wielkie gratulacje❤
To be honest, i preferred Elena to win this match (just because she is my favourite tennis player after Iga Swiatek), but i can't reject the greatness of Petra Kvitova! Strong mentality, effective playing style, amazing career and most of all decent person! What a pity she never became world no.1, the way she still is capable to win titles at this age is impressive! Today she showed more class and experience than Elena and deservedly won! Happy to see her coming back in top 10! And about Elena - the future is ahead of her, i believe she will have many moments like this and with gaining more experience and confidence one day to be in the place of Petra in the moment. Her winning streak was beautiful for watching! Now both get the deserved rest and can't wait to see what they will do on clay!
Kvitova lefthand shot yet to be figured out by Rybakina! Congratulations Kvitova good run Rybakina love to see you for more!! Good luck!
Wow what a match that was especially the tie-break in the 1st set, congrats to Petra, well played
That tie break was a mental marathon. It’s great to see Petra winning after all the unfortunate stuff. I thought for sure Rybakina with more confidence would win that. However, this was not Rybakina at her best. It’s clear shoulders or something are bothering her. Like when we saw Federer not play his best and years later we learned he had a massive back problem or something else.
Right, agree. Plus the umpire wrong decision probably might steel the 2nd set and hence the match
That 1st set tie-breaker was a...back breaker for Rybakina 😋 It seemed to take the wind out of her sails, Kvitova coasting to victory. Solid tourney for the veteran dropping only one set. Well earned.
Anoooo, nemám slov!! Prostě čistá nádheraa😍🇨🇿🇨🇿
Finally Petra win ! That’s it 💪🏻❤️🔥 Old good tennis days 🥹 and real champion
Congratulations from Poland. Gratulacje Petra. Dobrze że zlałaś Ruską!
Kvitova was to good today, nice trophy for her collection.
Congratulations Petra 🎉 you just made my day 😊
One of those days when tennis wins. Rybakina played one of her better matches of the tournament (reduced her UE and served 12 aces), and she was really trying, chasing balls that she usually lets go against lesser opponents. Kvitova was simply superb: her ratio of winners and unforced errors almost 2:1, and great selection of shots and strategy. She was the better player today and deservedly the champion. Power tennis at its best.
We love you Petra!!! ❤️❤️ such an icon of the sport
Yeahhhhh,,she's back..congrrat petra..we all love u..
Na Zdravi Petra Kvitova!!! It was absolutely a massive WTA title which was attained by veteran Czech tennis player, a poetic justice to see the championship of Kvitova in Miami after so many efforts. It points out that she will capture any other titles and championships in the upcoming periods of the season despite advancing age. The competitiveness of Petra Kvitova always inspires each individual as well as young generation. I am really grateful what you succeeded dearest Petra KVITOVA! Well-deserved championship forever!
Well deserved petraaa, congrats on no 30 ❤️❤️❤️🎉
Brawo Petra Kvitova!!! Wielki powrót na tron! Gratulacje z Polski!
Petra school of tennis at its very best 🔥🔥 I hope she inspires the veteran guns like Muguruza and Pliskova
She is truly a fighter
Brilliant result. Petra still can show youngsters how to win important tournaments. 30th title.
High speed and power. Really surprising. Petra is a ball of fire.
How beautiful is your victory today Kvitova ،It took us back to the recent past, the days of Sharapova, Serena and Azarenka😢
I so wanted Elena to do the "sunshine double" .She has had an amazing 2023 thus far and will go from strength to strength as the year goes on. But Petra was amazing today and fully deserving of this victory. As an Elena fan it is real hard to feel too gutted when she was beaten by the better lady today.
She did blow at least one set point when in the tiebreak after saving the first set initially. She could have been the winner if not clearly better. Very small margins like with the Alcaraz match yesterday
@@martinhudecek8886 Agreed, that was an epic tiebreak
So happy for petra one of the best ❤
Just goes to show what I always believed; if you're a player with weapons, on your day, you can hurt anyone. I think today Petra played one of the highest levels she has played in a while. Very solid from her today. Elena didn't play bad at all. And that's the thing; Elena is currently one of the best players in the world, so for Petra to bring a higher level on the day was truly remarkable. Excellent from both, and a worthy winner.
Unexpected but deserved, what a champ!
Weldone Petra. Nerves were finished. Once again, she didnt play lights out tennis and go for crazy winners. She played controlled with bigger margins and was willing to stay in the points longer. Had she adopted this earlier in her career, she certainly would have won more GS titles
Dare I say it! Kvitova is finally coming back to her best as she was before the horrific knife attack, and seems on perfectly improving course for a 3rd Wimbledon Title! Wat an Epic comeback story that wud be.....we're talking Hollywood Movie stuff! Please God! She Deserves it! No one can imagine the horror n fear of being a woman in yr own home n having to fight off an intruder with a knife! LEGEND! 🙏👍❤
Rybakina showing she needs work still. What an exhausting first set!
Amazing! Very happy to see Kvitova play like this, lefty magic at such a high level. And Rybakina, graceful in defeat, making sure to fight as hard as possible during the match. Great match, great champions.
So happy for Kvitova! OMG! She is back! Let’s go for a Grand Slam!
She hasnt done that well at a slam in 3 yrs. Doubtful she does it now.
@@robbyten100 nobody thought she could beat Rybakina
This fragment of the video shows that Elena Rybakina lost because she thought less creatively and relied more on her power. Elena's blows were not dribbles, not in corners, not along lines, but most of them flew either at Petra or in her direction. Elena did not have shortened blows, while Petra acted very coolly, smartly and creatively.
Congrats Kvitova!! It’s been a long time coming. I’m so happy for her 🎾🎾
Petra was on fire in the semi's against Cirstea, but in this final she played even better! Petra proves again, always keep believing in yourself!
Respect! Petra is GIANT 🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have been watching and rooting for these two players since they turned pros. This is one of those matches where I did not quite know who to root for because I did not want to root against the other. Congratulations to Kvitova for a victory well earned. I was pleasantly surprised how cleanly she played, especially during clutch moments. After a tournament win like this any retirement thoughts will be quickly forgotten.
So proud Petra won her 30th career title. She brought a stellar service game, amazing return and won that brutal tiebreak. Not even 12 aces could save Rybakina this time.
The WTA titles so far this year have been pretty evenly split, no one is really dominating as such. Not Rybakina or Sabalenka. Think we are all too rushed in hyping up certain players.
Well said!
And that's great! Rybakina and Sabalenka are still consistent but it's great to see other players winning titles too because WTA would be as monotonous as ATP in the Big 3 era
Congratulations Petra, what a tournament. Vedeli jsme, ze to musi prijit a ted pokracovat na stejne vlne.
No one deserves it more!! What a gift to tennis. After all that she's been through, just a remarkable story that keeps getting written!
two of my fav wta playres after Ash left. good skills without all the ridiculous screeching like sabalenka
Horrible grunts... Horrible.
.... both the girls very nice players, yet happy to see Petra winning, both are my favourites, though........ Congrats both as winner and the runner up
Greetings from POLAND 💙❤💙❤
I’m happy for Petra Kvitova😊❤
Saw the semifinal and now this. Probably my favorite finals stretch of the tour so far, Petra Kvitova deserves the world!!
Елена ты наш гордость спасибо за игру. Алға Қазақстан 👍🇰🇿
woaaah. Petra was just DIALED IN. great performance. I m a fan yet I was almost sure Rybakina would surely win. congrats Petra. One more Slam too. let's go
Gratuluji Petře z Polska :-) skvělý zápas, skvělý turnaj a krásný návrat v pravou chvíli :-) žádný Sunshine Double pro Rybakinu. Sabalenková a Rybakina si myslely, že teď budou na kurtech neporažené, není tomu tak. Nyní se v Evropě zkontrolujeme na antuce v Madridu, Římě a Paříži, kdo je silný, zvláště když je naše hvězda Iga Świątek zpět ve hře
Congrats to Kvitova, she really deserved to win but as a big fan of Elena this one was hard to take. She had her chances in the tie break but could not just provide them (felt like the old Rybakina). Kvitova were better the whole match and much better in the clutch moments. She had so much more power and accuracy in her strokes and Elena made so many unforced errors today and that was really disappointing to see. Knew the match was over after the tie break but the way she just capitulated in the second set without any fight was also really disappointing. Maybe she was tired. Either way Elena is on the right path and will continue to rise. Can't wait to see her play again!
Ah well - saw her with the Kinesia-tape at the semi-final again. I think Elena needs simply some rest. It's her first season where she reaches more semi and finals. Give her time. You can't win every time. Important thing is that you learn. This is Elenas learning year. I know everyone is expecting wonders once you are starting to win. But even winning needs to be learned. A process Iga is currently running through and Petra learned years ago. Anyhow - I like both players. Today the more experienced one won. Congrats to Petra Kvitova.
She just tired. That's it
@@ernar8926 yes,yes
Congratulations to Petra! I was so sure the Russian servebot was going to win I didn't even bother tuning in. Then I saw the scores on the WTA website and was pleasantly surprised. I watched the match on replay and Petra put on a masterclass! A well earned victory. So happy for her. 👍👏
Guess the men's final won't be easy to watch live either..
