She's gracious and dignified in both victory and defeat and a real breath of fresh air for women's tennis.
Exactly. I just became part of her fan base yesterday. I love her
@Rafa undisputed Goat OH again
You read my mind
She says, "everybody was cheering for us," not for me, and this came to her very naturally.
@@rafaundisputedgoat4291 such a random post... stupid really
Yeah because to say me would be blatantly ignorant - so ots to be commended but not unexpected surely....
This is probably the best speech I have heard from a runner up... her composure is amazing
@Rafa undisputed Goat hahahahaha
I've seen loads of great runner up speeches
New crowd favorite! What a composed eloquent lady.
Rybakina is absolutely lovely! She plays terrific, looks model-like and has a humble and likeable attitude. What more can you ask for? I love you Rybakina!!!❤
@Rafa undisputed Goat jel si ti lud ? Pa Novak je mašina , ne moze se igrati protiv ZIDA zapamti to ..
Pure class. I will always root for this athlete.
Best sportsmanship love you Elena ♥️♥️♥️
This is girl is tennis royalty in my opinion. She's an amazing player, great consistency, a good sport and a kind person.
She is destined to win more GS, a great ambassador of the sport. These two ladies will be contesting more titles for sure. Along with Iga.
Rybakina is really strong at Grand Slams. mental strength
She would have looked the same if she had won. Always so composed
@Rafa undisputed Goat stfu with OT Rafa! Troll!
Her composure amazes me so much
Winning is not everything. I'm happy I could follow her. The kinda interviews you smile at. She's lovely and so articulate
She is the best
Her graceful, powerful + smart game coupled with her super sweet personality makes her a great addition to tennis ❤❤ we Stan!!!
Rybakina is truly a class act and such a great role model for anyone wanting to achieve greatness without losing their values and mind! Her composure, discipline and humility are very inspiring.
A joy to watch
Sabalenka obviously took a u-turn, as she stuck her tongue out at Rybakina when she lost in Indians Wells final...
She is a breath of fresh air! Classy lady on and off the court! Great composure under pressure! What a great role model for our new generation! Congratulations dear Elena!!! You are an amazing young lady!
Simply put
she is our champion 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
since 2018 . when KZ offere her money Business. as usual.
@@yelv7671 A mother is not the one who gave birth, but the one who brought up
Good luck for the next 3 GS of 2023 Elena !! 🤗
Especially RG and W !! 😄😘😘😘
A nice cross at your neck will help a lot , trust me ! The marvelous one of Sabalenka made the difference !! 😇
@@danielacinderella9501 Świątek wins RG, Putina can only hope for Wimbledon.
@@SmithyPL small hat alert
@@seaneckhart9914 Russian troll alert
Our Ice Princess is so humble and I know she will win AO for sure. She put Australia Open Officials to shame for sideline her in smaller courts in the beginning of the tournament just because she was former Russian.
Is that why they did that?? If that's true then they have zero class.
Nothing to do with that. Only because she was ranked #25 due to Wimbledon not giving any points last year (she would be top 10 otherwise, and would be playing in bigger courts). Stop looking for issues when there's none. The court allocation is purely based on ranking. She played in bigger courts from round 2 onward. Sabalenka played the whole tournament on the biggest courts and she's Byelorussian...
@Rafa undisputed Goat Yeah man, but we were talking about Rybakina
@@wahn10 yep, it is! She had won Winledon few months ago!
@@preetamchatterjee1723 It's a troll they left the same comment on everybody else's comment
Even though she lost, she still won in the hearts of his fans. Big-hearted and has a commendable attitude on and off the court. I am confident that she is capable enough to add a grand slam title and continue to give great competition on the WTA tour and the best position in the world's top rankings.
So much class and humbleness in this young woman! She will winn many slams and become world nr 1 for sure.
I like how she talks very quickly and says what is needed. No other jargon
How can we not love Rybakina? She is just superb, on and off court. Wish her wins more GS in the future.
The winner of people’s hearts, Ice Queen !!!
@Rafa undisputed Goat ???
She gracious and the simple honest speech and appreciative of the audience who are here to cheer not for her but both players see how magnanimous is she and coming so close to winning. Is really a pleasure to watch every match she played and continue to watch her that make me worth living for as I hope to live long enough to see her winning and smiling disposition and gentle humility words cannot describe.
Love u from South Africa Elena. U are a superb player. Thanks for playing such beautiful tennis. Stay as sweet as u are. 💓 💞💝
She's the missing piece in women's tennis. A star player that has the aura to attract audience and make them come and watch her play. Wimbledon victory without points really affected her. Not anymore. Best wishes ahead Elena. May you win many grandslams and stay at the top for a long time 👍🏽
Absolutely agree!
@Rafa undisputed Goat Yes ...if only Djoker sleeps..😂
Елена ты лучшая! Удачного сезона! Много побед!🙋♂️🙏🇰🇿❤
@Rafa undisputed GoatYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! Rafa is the King of Clay ⚱️Federer is King of Crying 😭 Djokovic King of Kings ;-) 🇷🇸🃏🐊
I have just became a fan because of that speech
She is our love champion🇰🇿❤️💯
pure class
Agree with this statement. What a classy player. So excited to see more of her. Ryba is inspiring. 🙏❤️
Elena you are so gracious and beautiful and that is why the fans, me included, love you so much...! You will win the trophy next year, I guarantee it...!
No doubts 👍👍👍
A positive attitude by Elena👍🏻👍🏻. Well played.
When the President of your country is present to support you! That speaks volumes about the talent that this lady possesses.
Keep it up Champ, new fan here, since Wimbledon. Onwards and upwards 👏
I was really impressed with Rybakina. Of course her tennis is amazing but more than that she is a superb role model for how to behave graciously yet focus 100% on the tennis. She played some unbelievable shots and I am certain she can continue to go from strength to strength. Her acceptance speech was exemplary for a player, no doubt disappointed at coming second. She deserves more grand slam wins and I am certain it will not be too long before we see her in the top spot.
so likeable lady. Speaks so clearly and frank too.
I love how both girls were being kind and be friended each other and smiled the entire time. We don’t get to see this between players everyday. Usually, the loser just has an extremely disappointed face whilst congratulating his/her opponent. We need more people like Elena and Aryna!!! This brought a smile to my face. 🙂
Watch good players come and go for decades, and I have to admit that her composure on and off the field is a rare quality, she's special in that regard. Wish her a steady year in 2023 and many more to come.
A great player with lots of talent and grace
It is becoming common for the ladies battle to be more entertaining than the men’s. Great game played in the right spirit.
Classy lady. Class tennis player.
@Rafa undisputed Goat erm.... relevance to the topic in question?
Love her so much!
Alles gute weiter so elena sie ist ein erfahrener Tennisspielerin einfach klasse phantastisch ein Champion
Elena gorgeous congratulations both of u were great.
Good luck elena....a classy girl....
SUCH GREAT HEART TO BE REACHED MORE HIGHER LEVELS👏❤️🔥👏...
Love her
She's a class act this one. Look forward to seeing Elena playing more throughout her career.
She is so likeable
For her to take out Swiatek was bigger for me than Sabalenka getting her 1st grand slam though Sabalenka was in the making.
She had to beat Collins, Iga, Jelena and Vika to get to the final.
@@sinic1978 Correct. Difficult draw make have been too much for her in the end, though she came pretty close. Hopefully being seeded higher in future slams will pave her an easier path.
She is my fav player along with swiatek...her nature is what I like the most
I adore Lena Rybakina but hate Swiatek who always has those yellow-blue ribbons on a side of her cap supporting ukraine. Her business is to play tennis and not to be involved in politics.
We need to loudly encourage the media to keep politics out of sports. As a father of an 8 year old daughter playing tennis, this young woman from Moscow is exactly how I would want my daughter to play, interact with others, and be on and off of the court. Much respect to Elena Rybakina's game but even more respect to the young woman she is. Great Aussie Open! I hope you have an amazing 2023. Someone's birthplace does not dictate her character. I am tired of the way the media and people in Tennis are treating these players born in Russia 🇷🇺 or Belarus 🇧🇾. Imagine if our athletes were removed from global competitions every time our nation declared war on someone. We would never see our US 🇺🇸 athletes perform. UK 🇬🇧 either.
I adore this champion for her amazing skill on the court & her humility off of the court. I am floored as to how the mainstream sports media and major tournament directors have treated this young woman. The overly negative criticism of her coach is outrageous. If my daughter was a ranked junior tennis player, I would pray that she models her game & behavior like Rybakina.
Красавица умница
Rybakina真的好可惜啊～😥 感覺就是第二盤後打的太保守了，如果再主動，強勢一點，結局一定不一樣啊～ 其實就差那麼一局，如果能守住，再接下來就一定能贏得勝利啊～ 所以請Rybakina 再接再厲，一定可以再贏更多大滿貫冠軍啊～💖 Rybakina Fighting ～💕
I love Elena.
2:01 what a funny comment lol I love this woman so much, tennis should really promote her better because she is here to stay and make the sport grow! Go Elena ♥
Such a nice young lady
Love them both. Hapyy they each have a slam now. Next, Maria Sakkari!
One more person… She thanks him. ‘He's probably watching now’ I wonder who he is??😮😮😮😌
Pretty player 🎾💗
Elena muchas felicidades también jugaste excelente bendiciones, sigue preparándote ERE muy buena👏❤🌹😘💕🇩🇴
I love all aspects of Rybakina , and also Sabalenka , very different , more emotional , but between the two there is also friendship as we can see ! 💞
Elena has character
WTA anybody can win...Rybakina is a great champion 🏆
Good luck Elena r.❤️
Whats there to be surprised about ? She has already won a Wimbledon.
I'm surprised she did not win
@@fcf777 well if u know sports welcome to sports
Elena such a nice girl wish she had won, I alway thought she is a superior player than just hard hitting man
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful ice princess. A bit sad she didn’t win
Gotta love her
Rybakina ❤
An ambassador reborn as a tennis player 😊🥰
❤
Beautiful
Любое Её выступление после... Это глоток Жизни ❤❤❤❤❤ в наш постоянный сероводород 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love her
Love Elena! I'm curious though who was that someone she thanked but was not there!😊
1:45 who was she thanking at this point? it wasnt clear to me.
Rybakina said she needed to thank one more person for the pre-season and she was sure he was watching, but she did not say who. Does anyone know who she was referring to?
I think we can all see areas for improvement in her game. I get the feeling she is already figuring out how to improve. She is going to be VERY VERY good. For years to come.
Charming
Love you rybakina
God blesse
She hoped for same results or even better... such humility act from this talended lady.
My Wonder woman lovely speech
it really was a look on arynas face that she felt bad that elena lost. if i didn’t know better. but i have a hunch they are friends..
Am from uganda , am rating for u. Thanx
Рыба - ты лучшая!
🥇🎾💐❤️😘
🇰🇿 and Eastern Europe FOREVER 😌
Rybakina will rank very high
Hopefully she'll win more Slams. It was sad to see her be so passive in the rallies when normally she hits confidently side to side. Sabalenka played great though. But with Rybakina her clutch serves, had she played the rallies better and hit better 2nd serve returns maybe she could have broken and somehow win this match against a strong Sabalenka.
My only love
I think swaitek, Aryna, Coco and Elena are going to rule the tennis court for the next 10 years😅
She had Emma Raducanu have the smooth and best serve.
Well , there's 3 minutes of my life I wont get back... A speech I've heard a thousand times.
Без поражений нет побед.
The AO should get Rybakina to be the MC instead of Todd 😊
GO Russia!❤️
She is now from Kazakhstan, not garbage Putin country
@@fcf777 I still love Russia!!❤️
