The Rybakina train rolls on. But Kalinskaya performed to her very best. Congratulations to both players.
Two strong players and neither screams like they're in agony. A rare treat in tennis.
Lol. Kalinskaya is not that a superb player. What i see here is just everybody bringing their A game to the latest Indian Wells Champion.. I know Badosa will be very much easier.
We live in a world of variety so some will scream and some won't. Whilst you might not like it someone else does.
It's just the commentator that is truly awful to listen to
Yes, the screeching grunts are ugly. They should not be allowed.
sablenka said no!
I’m becoming a fan of Rybakina, so in control of her emotions, great tennis. Hope she’s not too tired this week!
Samee
True and Badosa would probably go all out in the next round so a possible three setter again.
Same here
@@quinley7877like she did with the ball boy for netflix
I am just amazed to see how can she not react much on winning such tough matches. Like she's someone who doesn't even have mid match celebration moments like her other contemporaries like Sabalenka. It's endearing to see her calm demeanor on court. She's now a rising threat to other players on the women's tour.
Even though they meet early this could be considered one of Elena's toughest competitor in maimi
Rybakina just won Indian Wells, made the finals at Australia, she's a Major champion, and is trending toward a top 3 ranking, yet there were only a handfull of people in attendance. Blows my mind.
Her tennis is immensly boring. Plus, she has a lacklustre personality. She also in the meantime lost in the first round of us open. I wouldnt bother going to her matches. There plenty more more exciting players.
WTA
rybakina reminds me of Roger feederer the way she carry herself, not much ups and downs, what a great personality
Elena managed to win over Kalinskaya who put out a all for nothing performance .Inspite of so many uf errors Elena managed to show her true colors towards the final sets. A true class player with those calm demeanor and pleasant personality is indeed a joy to watch.
That why Rybakina coach is important,it is to transcende her on crappy days like that.The win was more mental than physical.
What a beautiful game, literally!😄
Rybakina gonna be the #1 ranked player by the end of this year. Watch out.
Ribakina is just amazing,she is a tough fighter, both players played well.
Rybakina💛 is future world nr 1. 🏆💫👑
With today's playing no :(
Both are beautiful and talented players so it was a very enjoyable match.
elena looks so tired .. hopefully she can recover well for the next match
This match is an example of what happens when 2 big tournaments are back to back and those that went deep in the first tournament do not have a chance to recuperate and adjust to the 2nd tournament. Arranging things that way makes it hard on the players (and may make them more injury prone too) and not good for fans who want to see everyone start on equal footing. Congrats, anyway, to Elena for overcoming this difficulty in her first match in Miami. Also, Kalinskaya deserves credit for working through whatever her problems were with her stomach. She never gave up and kept coming back.
That's show Us the huge work was did Swiatek last year. It's was an amazing feat win the both of these tournament
Correct - this makes "the sunshine double" so difficult. Later on nobody is talking about "first or second" rounds. Tough draw for Elena Rybakina. Even if it should be easier for her without Iga Swiatek.
So what you're saying is you get fantastic, hard-fought matches when there are two big tournaments back-to-back. Excellent, then we need more. Of course, if only players had a choice over which tournaments to play. Oh, wait....
well said
I'm of the opinion when a player reaches a certain level of financial security they should trim back their play to about 8 to 10 events a year. Iga is certainly at that level. Some of the others who have been around a while but not necessarily had the same success should probably do the same. Off the top of my head, players like Petra Martic and Camila Giorgi.
A sign of a great player to win when under pressure that was a great composed win she will be no 1 soon has all the making of a champion

Nice match. Elena looks a bit tired (understandably). ❤
I am loving Elena's climb. She plays such clean and powerful tennis. It's hard to spot flaws. The mental side looks stronger.
Love them both.
Congrats Rybakina!!excellent tennis 👍🏻👌👌💥
Wins a 1000 title, wins a round 2 match; same reaction 😅 But I like to watch her play, so go go go Rybakina !!
Rybakina's shot selection is makes her on top of the chart
Rybakina is going to be a world number 1 shortly. Just a stunningly gorgeous overall game she has. A better return of serve and a more potent second serve and she could give Swiatek a run for all her money.
She beat swiantek each of the three times they ve met this season so far. all in two sets. i think her return and second serve are better than anyone's, i think stats confirm that 2... what she needs to improve is her shot selection and net game. Other than that, her game is near to perfect to be on top
@@KanatLS sure. I’m just saying these two will go at it for a while. I don’t even mention net game with the women’s game anymore. No one, including Serena, has had a decent net game in a long time on the women’s side. I think a more potent second serve will really help Rybakina. But yeah, my word what a pretty game she has otherwise. And no tantrums or shenanigans either. Treat to watch.
@@KanatLS Good comment. I agree. Was thinking the thing. If her net game improves (approach angles and touch with her net volleys), she will have a virtually perfect game.
Run for all her money? Swiatek can't even compete on the same court. Whenever they meet, Iga gets the yips and looks totally whipped. There is no rivalry. If Rybakina had her Wimby points, she could be No. 1 already. And if Sabalenka wasn't screaming to the top of her lungs at the AO finals, Rybakina would be No. 1 inspite of Wimby.
@@twinwankel ok. Feel better? Coulda shoulda….. is she? No? Run along now
Anna is a tricky player for everyone & she should def be in top 20.Great match up for IW champ to start the tournament.
Kalinskaya should be in top 20? are u joking bro?
@@tsonga5582 I meant when she is on, she def makes it very difficult for the opponents. Watched her @ Guadalajara & Adelaide playing pretty well but her inconsistency makes it hard for her to reach high up in the rankings, she def have all the tools to be a top 20 player.
@@NR-ov6po no she doesnt. she is inconsistent, u said it urself!
@@NR-ov6po I think like somewhere in between 25 to 35.
@@NR-ov6po Many athletes have "every opportunity" to enter the top 20, but they always lack something......
Great match for Elena her mental toughness really brought her thru this match such a champion quality of hers, most people would have thrown the towel in after that 4-1 deficit and victory being so close but she put it in the back of her mind then got on with it in the 3 set, incredible mindset proud of her in this match
Elena will got double sunshine... she will be a miami open 2023 champion. She is a huge power in WTA fields nowdays❤️
Rybakina cracks me up; she's so mellow it's hilarious! Love her game.
Well tennis is after all a gentlemen’s and ladies game. Players play with grace. Not like some McEnroe cursing and swearing on the court because he lost a point. This is very demoralising towards your opponent who is enjoying the game but you meet a player cussing all the way. That’s how some players are…….making all circus act when they could have use their full ability to play tennis. Rybakina will again set a standard of graceful tennis. You hear nothing but tennis balls being hit with a racquet and balls bouncing on and off the court with spectators wooooo and wow……😂😂😂
Tough test for Ryba. Kalinskaya showed herself a very tough competitor.
Do you agree that tennis is so Beautiful? I am a huge tennis fans now
I like Rybakina. Whatever she's doing, she seems pleasantly surprised to be there.
I like that attitude as well...just such a pleasant disposition.
Very good match by Elena..
Good work out for Elena. She needs these kind of matches after straight sets demolition of the WTA's World No 1 & 2 last week.
Лена , поздравляем с победой ! МОЛОДЕЦ ! Лена , никогда недооценивай своего соперника на корте , он играет так , как ты ему позволяешь.. Работай над первой подачей и физической подготовкой..
Лена перенервничала.. Но собралась
Возможно она просто была уставшая и потеряла концентрацию (23-3 по ошибкам), была просто физически и ментально не готова к этому матчу. Будем надеяться, что дальше она придет в свое оптимальное состояние.
Rybakina 👏👏👏
Good players find ways to win, even when they're not playing their best. 👍🏻👏🏻
Who is she?? She is as beautiful as her shots.
A pleasure to watch these 2.
De plus en plus rare d'assister à un match silencieux... Quel beau match, plein de subtilités où deux joueuses en confiance rivalisent.
Well deserve. Can’t wait Elena in the final with the trophy and achieve a Sunshine double and make another history 😊
Nope. Kalinskaya won this match according to official tennis rules. Hawkeye was dumb.
@@einarsd4 Kalinskaya will win Miami then, since she’s into the next round 🤣😉 Since Elena has to go home now.

Rybakina was probably playing at 75% capacity in this match but still managed to win it.
Алға Қазақстан 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Bravo Elena. Kalinskaya is the next top 10 wta rank
WTA, thank you for doing away with the needless slow motion replays. 🙏🏼
This is so much better to watch than an Azarenka scream fest!
amen, mate
Vika is still great to watch with the sound down though!
@@lightninggornall I'm 'dying' to watch a Sabalenka vs Azarenka scream fest !
~Anything that drowns out the commentary
Elena, Anna, and Iga are my top 3 favorites on the Wta atm. Such a joy to watch them play.
Rybakina is really impeccable. She knows where she will get calm and serene in order to recover the flow of the game. She had a dominance against Kalinskaya but if she doesn't vacillate at some points, I believe that she will ordinarily be one of the most insurmountable tennis competitors in this era.
Damn! That was a topsy turvy train ride from Rybakina. She certainly looked uncomfortable with Anna’s play. Not one of her best matches for sure. But good to see she still scraped through.
That was a hard match for Yelena. But still manage to win, happy for her.
this is not a happy or celebration type win this is a thank god i squeeked by win
@@kevinpatrickcarey3741 let’s not exaggerate… it is a win , that’s all …
Her Name is Elena..
@@cristiansarmas5807 no its not.
@@BoomerBaskins beautiful name
Rybakina is The Silent Assassin of tennis.
Having just won Indian Wells and playing another tourney immediately has to be hard on anyone. ER is just too good right now. AK played a great match though.
Blocked for saying tourney.
@@blucat4 LOL - You must be from another country than America. Here ya' go: Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more tour·ney noun noun: tourney; plural noun: tourneys a tournament. verb verb: tourney; 3rd person present: tourneys; past tense: tourneyed; past participle: tourneyed; gerund or present participle: tourneying take part in a tournament.

These are the kind of matches which shows why Rybakina will likely go far in tournaments these year. She wasnt playing her best, had a quite a number of double faults, and let Kalinskaya take 5 games in a row from 4-1 up in the 2nd set to lose it, but she did not collapse or fade away in the third set
Yep. Right on.
Поздравляю с победой Елена наша прекрасная !❤❤❤
Anna❤ Hope she keeps playing like this! She deserves a much higher WTA rank!🤞🤞
Rybakina seems not fully recovered from the IW run. Still calm and ice cold though. Great match.
Congrats to Rybakina! Btw it's amazing how good Anna can be sometimes. She should be very proud of herself in this match. She was this close to beating Rybakina, if she'd had an easier draw probably could've made it deep this time around. All she lacks in consistency, but she seems to be getting better at handling herself even in this match she had some kind of stomach problem but handles it well enough.
when I look at players now, I don't care if they win, & suddenly lose.it's impossible if they don't see twitter, fb, ytube. stress is everywhere. so, to win as many matches as possible is very difficult. unlike 20- 40 years ago, main social media was just newspapers. players in the 80s, there was almost no pressure at all from the fans. they are quite focused on the game. very lucky if elena wins again😊😊
Rybakina either has something wrong with her or she just isn’t used to the court yet. Kalinskaya also played extremely well here. Badosa might be easier than this considering she struggled to a lesser opponent today.
@@westonmeyer3110 probably both, other players have been in Miami longer, and elena is probably still a bit tired after Indian wells
Kalinskaya is such a strong and beautiful fighter (tennis player). Congrats Rybakina.
Elena I hope you are OK. While I am definitely your loyal fan, I am afraid you will have to play better. You may have won this match, but anyone who had watched it knew it was not your best....
Calm n strong 😍
It's exactly what Elena Rybakina said: Consistancy, stability ... is what she should focus on. Allthough Anna Kalinskaya is a tough draw and a good player she may should win such matches "easier". I know - easier said than done, especially when there are really a lot of good players with positions in the rankings that makes no real sense around. But Elena Rybakina does have the game plan to win easier. Each lost set will count later on in the tournament. Anyhow - Anna Kalinskaya shows a way how to deal with "power tennis": High and long bouncing topspin (in a mix of other hitting balls). Reminds me a bit of Graf vs Sanchez-Viccario. Mostly Graf won but from time to time Sanchez-Viccario take one match (and even Slams) from her. Fighting players are always "annoying". Hopefully the ranking will be a bit cleaned up for Anna Kalinskaya. This was not a real first (or 2nd) round match. This should happen way later inside a tournament. As so many said - congrats for both - Anna Kalinskaya lost against one of the best players (if not THE best) at the moment. But this knowledge does not help to improve Annas ranking situation. Next one for Rybakina: Paula Badosa - another player who should be ranked higher ... ... ...
Ох Лена Елена борец ты по натуре вот поэтому и побеждаешь ! Казахстан !
Vamos Elena sigue así hasta el final
Congrats RybaQuenna! Let's go to the final
Elena❤❤ ,💪
Lena is Tennis artist, Queen, master, champion, her style is unique, beautiful and her shots are powerful. Good luck in next match Lena!
love both to bits
Елена идёт за очередным титулом! Надеюсь, что сил у нее хватит.
Two beautiful and talented ladies..
I love Russian Kalinskaya's aggressive play, hopefully she will go quite far and improve on her mistakes she made here against Rybakina.
@Ivan Petrov Hes said Russia Kalinskaya not Rybakina. STOP LOOKING FOR FIGHT WHERE THERE IS NONE
@Ivan Petrov Kazakhstan citizen..check the flag.
@Ivan Petrov she is a former russian citizen, and she must be very thrilled with her decision to switch...
@Ivan Petrov Об этом никто не хочет признавать. По факту вы правы . А вы не знаете почему она поменяла гражданству ?
mamasita kalinskaya!! gets it done in the second set!!! jesus !! but rybakina is too hugely power!!! I knew rybakina would win due to the fact of her power and clean hitting. But Anna showed some class in that second set mainly because ryba was tired... and also gave her a silent chance. NO joke. But Anna is the original love of loves in terms of tennis lovers of this generation . She is beautiful before during and still after the invasion. All the best to ukraine.
2023 Rybakina Year ❤
Rybakina lost her rhythm in the second set after being up one set and 4-1 in the second losing 5 games in a row! Perhaps a good lesson. Good recovery in the third set.
Thank you
Анна добавила немного неприятностей Рыбке. Идем дальше! 💪💪💪 Алға Қазақстан! 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Теперь на Рыбакину настраиваются как на чемпионку, хотят проявить себя с лучшей стороны показав свой лучший теннис. Защищать свои победы от всех всегда сложнее. Доказывать свое лидерство. И очень хорошо что её психика на высоте несмотря на все вызовы🙏! 🇰🇿💪
Nicely done!
Rybakina is number 1 material. Kalinskaya did good and can have a way better ranking if she improves mentally. She has the game for it
I was almost about lose $1000 bet. I literally thought . But I had honestly trusted and she won , I won 😂
You should give Rybakina 500 hundreds. ....
@@thanhvu7145 hahah . I would love to meet first.😍
Good match n Elena had to fight for it👍🏾👏🏾
Elena is so elegant!❤
That Kalinskaya is very good also
Наша Рыбка Молодчик так Держать
Bravo Elena !
Congrats to Elena! But Kalinskaya played a competitive match. Women's tennis is so competitive. Elena won because this match came down to who made the better decision to win each point.
Both are beautifull girls. And fantasic tennis players.
Yelena is such a professional sports woman de n her attire, sportmanship, interviews, etc.
Yelena?
@@kking3875 Jelena?
Stupid, Idiotic comment about Iga and her team. She is a superior tennis champion and doesn't need to watch second class tennis.
@Lucy Pedzinski Second class tennis which beaten her three times in straight sets and withdrew from the tournament just to not lose again to second class tennis lol
Well done Elena! Keep up it! 👍💖
Good luck to your next tournament Anna ❤❤❤
Anna is such a beauty and rising her tennis level
I Love it!
Both are beautiful and quiet ladies.
How many points of the whole third set did these highlights show, 3? LOL
Лена, мы болеем за тебя!! Удачи и везения!
❤❤❤❤❤
Both look so much better and stronger than swiatek
Elena is so pretty 😍
I love Elena's game but she is too inconsistent. She raises her level against top opponents but commits many unforced errors against lesser opposition. She was totally focus on every point, chasing all balls against Iga and Aryna at Indian Wellls, but she stops running against other opponents, knowing that she can beat them without giving all of her effort.
She also gets lazy when she starts serving well. She feels like if she serves 2 aces in a game or more then the game should be over even if it is only 30-0.
IW champion and AO finalist. If she's too inconsistent I wonder what you think about the rest of the tour lol
@@MarspeedCars, I think Elena's potential is so high that she must be winning these early stage matches quite easily. All that I was saying is that she is so good that even on a bad day she can beat most opposition.
@@MarspeedCars There is an obvious difference between how she plays Iga and Sabalenka(and Garcia in the past)and how she plays everyone else. Although her drop shots and some of her volleys today are actually a good sign that her game is strengthening overall.
Ana is a great consistent striker of the ball! It was a good test for Elena to get this W and find adjustment to this faster court compared to IW
Vamos Elena 🔥
