I couldn't be happier with Elena's game today. She dominated from the baseline and completely dismantled Sabalenka's serve. Those returns were world class. Here's hoping she continues this sort of play at the AO as well.
*Rybakina* didn’t drop a set and lost just 15 games in 5 matches at Brisbane! She dominated all her opponents including world No. 2 Sabalenka in the final. Elena is beginning to realize her full potential. Future No. 1 and more Grand Slams.
She’s always had the talent. Ever since her tour debut and even her ITF days, she’s always been taped up and playing through injury. Let’s hope this is finally the year where she overcomes any physical issues she has had in the past.
Don't get overexcited, Brisbane is low profile tour. Except Rybakina and Sabalenka none from top 10 played there. She didn't have to face Samsonova, Pegula, Cristea, Jabeur, Haddad Maia, all of them defeated Rybakina last year. Sabalenka started the match same way as US Open semifinal where she also lost 0:6 in 1st set to Keys. After 1st set she asked for medical help, obviously she had some issues and I doubt that she played at her 100% as she didn't want to risk one week before AO.
Elena Rybakina is everything you want in a an athlete, Calm, Gracious and competitive.... couldn't be happier that she has started 2024 in sparkling form. According to the commentator... this was a statement win.. More to come in Melbourne surely. Love ❤ her to bits
Rybakina’s calmness will eventually become the most dangerous part about her when she starts to get used to winning tournaments. She can be down 3 break points to lose the final and just calmly save all of them when all of the others would have cracked(especially Sabalenka but even Iga in that situation).
@@BlastersFC She really does though. She is strong and more agile than people think and she is extremely mentally strong and calm without even trying to be. Eventually her getting to finals of majors will be a forgone conclusion after this year and she is going to win most if not all of them.
Elena Rybakina is the most elegant female tennis player I have ever seen. Both in appearance and her demeanour on court. Not even a celebration after winning the match. Just a smile on her face. She's truly a princess.
Another eastern European clown on their knees, confusing a tennis match with a beauty pageant. Have you people, in that corner of the world, no dignity or common sense left in you? So embarrassing to read.
Rybakina is capable of leaving her mark on the game big time. She has it all. But this year the women’s game is heading to a new level. Drivers , start your engines.
Bagelling Sabalenka is so impressive, considering how enormous her serve and return are. So glad Ryba is back! AO is going to be lit with Elena, Iga, Aryna and Coco all playing well. Plus the Mother contingent waiting in the wings. 🔥
That was the best Elena Rybakina i've ever watched! Better even that the Wimbledon 2022 and early 2023 one! She never dominated in matches in this way before. Now she doesn't rely only on her serve, but also on her power game at general, with clearer shots. She needed that first title after Rome so bad, especially after the all injuries and illnesses, with which she struggled for these 7 months. If she continues to play like this, she will stay in top 3 for the whole year and why not even to be no.1 contender?!
Did you actually watched this game ? Sabalenka had left hip/thigh concern, she had to ask for medical help. I don't think that she was 100% fit in this game and having AO in mind i doubt she wanted to risk and win no matter the price. So it can not be Rybakina best performance, AO 2023 final was way more better.
@@piqo44 i talk about the whole tournament performance. Sabalenka played badly, but it's about Rybakina's great performance too. In WTA Finals Sabalenka also played badly, but beat Elena.
@@piqo44 During last year's AO, her finals performance was her worst in the tournament. She did not serve well in that match. I don't buy Sabalenka's medical timeout as due to real physical issues. She was on court for barely 5 hours before the final, and she never had physical issues even in grandslams before. Sabalenka is known to be one of the fittest, if not the fittest athlete in the WTA, no way she's gonna have physical issues in that match. It was a tactical ploy, actually a desperation move by her team to throw Rybakina off her rhythm, after she got broken again in her first service game in the second set as she was in real danger of being double bageled, . And her injury magically disappeared later, it it was real, she wouldn''t be able to chase Rybakina's balls and she would have lost 6-0 6-1
@@tennisobserver995 So Rybakina can explain her loses with injuries but other can not ? Swiatek in 2022 won 37 games in row, only fittest athletes can do something like this, but at the beginning of 2023 season she for the first time had few health issues. Sabalenka is not robot, she played against Rybakina many times in last couple of months and it was always close game, so I don't buy it that her form suddenly exploded its more likely Saba had bad day. Saba plays great at Australian soil, this lost can only motivate her, on the other hand Rybakina can be over confident.
not gonna lie, it was pretty hilarious how Rybakina won the first 8 games without making any sounds/ showing any emotion while Sabalenka grunted, moaned and screamed like her life depended on it 😂
Rybakina is such a graceful player I have ever seen. Very calm and composed throughout. No scream, no drama only beautiful smile at the end. The grunting ladies should learn from her gestures before entering to court.
Absolutely amazing game shown by Rybakina. She gave her opponents only 15 games through the whole week! Even Aryna said: “Elena, Wow, thank you for this three games😂”.. I hope Elena will stay healthy and win AO!
Rybakina is hitting the ball constistently harder and more accurate than I have ever seen her do before. Hopefully she can take this form into the Australian Open.
Go Rybakina go! By far my favourite of the top players. Elegant, graceful, doesn't make obnoxious noises when hitting the ball and always humble in victory.
Since the first time I watched this girl playing, I said THIS GIRL IS TOP NOTCH AND SHE WILL BECOME THE NEXT N.1 AND GRAND SLAM CHAMPION. So powerful, accurate, solid and focused, when She Is in good shape She Is almost unstoppable. And not least She Is so humble and kind to anyone. I Wish her all the good things... 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
This version of Elena Rybakina is scary. She doesn't make as many aces as before but has increased her first serve percentage and is even deadlier on serve. This Rybakina is more patient and constructs points waiting for the perfect moment to unleash her power. She is also a very good returner and a very good volleyer. If Elena plays like she played this week in Brisbane at the Australian Open, she will win the AO title.
@@TENNIS365KZ didn't notice that. probably just a byproduct of exerting more effort to win the point, unlike Sabalenka and other screamers who do it to mask the sound of their strike and hinder the opponent.
A great winning performance from Elena Rybakina and the chemistry between these two women is always wonderful to see and funny on and off the camera...I really hope Rybakina wins the AO.
I cant remember the last time Sabalenka was genuinely outplayed in a tournament - her losses for the past 5 months have been her just self destructing. The first set was especially painful. Congrats to Rybakina, looking at her to win AO but but you never know.
@@filip6610 I am an Iga fan, too, but I didn't put too much weight on that match because the conditions were absolutely horrendous and favored players like Pegula and Iga but was hell for power players like Sabalenka and Rybakina.
What an amazing match and the amazing personality possessed by Elena. She is the only Tennis star with all the qualities that one would expect, talent, motivation, personality, charm, etc. She is the best Tennis Start.
Wow amazing match from Lena! Was expecting Sabalenka to win this match but Rybakina played an awesome game. I hope she can keep this level and win AO 🏆❤
No hay enemigo pequeño Rybakina excelente actuación vamos por más gracias por esa sonrisa que le diste a Sabalenka en el último punto eres muy bella y humilde seguro llegaras a la cima del ranking mundial felicidades por ti.
I picked Rybakina to win this match but didn’t expect Sabalenka to play so sloppy. If Rybakina can stay healthy the whole year - she will pass Sabalenka in the rankings. She hits just as hard as Sabalenka but has much more variety in her game.
I only watched this highlights but did Rybakina run today? She just way easy to give up balls which requires running.. Sabalenka did a great pickup played against Vika.
@@deusexmachina9776 No, all Sabalenka does is "how hard can I hit this ball" then gets annoyed when it doesn't work out. Oh and the moaning is always hilarious.

Elena es una reina por dónde se mire. Ella es encantadora, su juego potente, servicio y devolución la harán tener el número 1 muy pronto. Que bello es verla jugar, es dulzura para los ojos. Queen Rybakina
i made a comment yesterday about elena rybakina,and i said she is playing very well in this tournament,the serve,the movement ect.and i said the finals between saba and rybakina the match could go either way,but who ever makes the most errors would loose the match.but i did not think the match would be lop sided like that.elena rybakina when she is playing like this she nobody can beat her not even igga.can't wait for the australian open,and the player to beat right now is rybakina,but anything can happen,we will see.
Last time sabalenka lost winning 3 or fewer games was the semis of Rome in May 2022... most of her loses since have been 3 sets ... rybakina now has won 3 out of last 4 matches against sabalenka and all 3 in 2 sets ... she's got a real chance at the australian open
Very well done Elena.. It was very enjoyable. Just do becareful little gir? Don't burn yourself out, keep in good shape & no tourney is more important, than your health. Take care / both of you!
I just hope that she has not peaked too early for the AO. She is always my favourite to win any tournament even though I am from the UK and a fan of Emma Raducanu also.
Rybakina doesn’t peak, she only falls to her new floor and then establishes a new ceiling shortly afterward. If she consistently plays even close to her best she will establish a new floor and ceiling again.
A healthy Rybakina, no one on this planet can defeat her in WTA. Her level of tennis is scary with an added net game in her armory. Wishing her to lift the Aus open trophy 🎉🎉.
@@westonmeyer3110 yeah, except that she has a better serve than Sharapova, but to be honest, I think Sharapova would have won at least 10 slams if she had not played with that compromised shoulder for most of her career.
It probably is, Sabalenka has a monster forehand but she always avoids going into prolonged forehand to forehand crosscourt rallies with Rybakina because she always loses those exchanges. Same goes with Iga.
I will also consider Iga Świątek. She won all single matches at united cup and won China Open and WTA finals at the end of the season, she also won 6-4 with Rybakina at wył.
Sabalenka is a great example of modern power tennis in the ladies game and of what happens to that when power is all you have. Elena played a much more cerebral match imho. Lovely sportsman(woman)ship at the net too. After this, the United Cup and the Auckland Classic, really looking forward to AO...
Claiming it. Rybakina will win a slam and get to that freaking #1 spot this year! Praying 🙏 for no injury for her as well. WTA is shaping up with Iga, Saba, Coco, Rybakina can slug it out for the #1 spot and grandslams while the comeback queens: wozniacki, kerber, osaka and azarenka will pose a threat to them. Exciting!
@@tennisobserver995 Osaka hasn't been a threat since her French Open meltdown. Maybe she's matured, but it's a long climb for her to start consistently beating Swiatek, Rybakina and Sabalenka...all who have gotten tougher and improved during Osaka's time away.
@@tennisobserver995I’m not expecting much from Osaka this season, but next season (assuming she stays healthy), I think she’ll be the one to beat on hard courts just like she was before she took a break.
She needs Iga to keep Gauff at bay for a while to do that because Gauff’s style will be tricky for Rybakina until she learns to move a bit better and add a little more variety. If Pegula catches up to Gauff and knocks her out of number 4 then Rybakina could be in trouble potentially.
Crisp Icy cold Precise Humble. So nice to see elena in this top form. I was never her fan since her wimbledon win but I think she is in really good shape now. Silent and tranquil. Does she practice at all? No tan. The only one with no tan and even with a pinkish glow. No over reaction like leylah after every point or every crucial point. Just so so so cool. She smiled after the last point. I smiled too. Her smile broadened and both of them smiled after a hug. My eyes watered. I guess sports coupled with such warmth is moving. Aryna is a super nice person too. Elena has a kind of sweet modesty that iga lacks. I love iga's shots. Nothing really about aryna. Starting to enjoy watching elena. My fav player is Vika. I was sad yesterday but well she's 34+. I enjoy top tennis but really enjoy iga. Will be an exciting year. Elena will be up the ranks for sure. Up in this case will be 1 or 2. Aryna's edge is her super good physical condition. Rarely injured in 2023.
"She smiled after the last point. I smiled too. Her smile broadened and both of them smiled after a hug. My eyes watered. I guess sports coupled with such warmth is moving." These are easily the best six sentences in this comment thread. So glad to know tennis fans like you still exist. Thank you, ma'am.
Rybakina is like a lady Nojo, she can throw the ball any place she wants to confuse her opponents subsequently losing their balance, i really love watching her play, no grunts no ahhhs just superb tennis💕
If Elena can keep up this level of consistency, she could win multiple slams this year and even grab the #1 ranking! Here’s to hoping. Much prefer her over Iga…
If she wins AO then she will definitely want to get another Wimbledon too. I also expect to her to go for the US Open and at least finally go deep there and she will definitely do better at RG than last year.
I couldn't be happier with Elena's game today. She dominated from the baseline and completely dismantled Sabalenka's serve. Those returns were world class. Here's hoping she continues this sort of play at the AO as well.
*Exactly! She didn't drop a set and her serve is impeccable. I can easily believe another major is in her immediate future if she stay injury-free.*
*Rybakina* didn’t drop a set and lost just 15 games in 5 matches at Brisbane! She dominated all her opponents including world No. 2 Sabalenka in the final. Elena is beginning to realize her full potential. Future No. 1 and more Grand Slams.

Let’s hope this is finally the year where she overcomes any physical issues she has had in the past.

Rybakina doesn’t peak, she only falls to her new floor and then establishes a new ceiling shortly afterward.
If she consistently plays even close to her best she will establish a new floor and ceiling again.
Great match of real tennis champions . Congratulations for both players 😊
What a game Elina has...magnificent tennis. 🤟
Elena looks ready for 2024, jazda!
Sabalenka gave Rybakina everything she had and look at that score lol. Awesome job Elena!
A healthy Rybakina, no one on this planet can defeat her in WTA. Her level of tennis is scary with an added net game in her armory. Wishing her to lift the Aus open trophy 🎉🎉.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lady Rybakina absolutely destroyed that roaring beast 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😆
And got destroyed in Australian open.. you pervert
Bravo Ryba, that’s the only way to make it happen for the next time 👸🏼❤️🇨🇦
Леночка, Умничка, Люблю тебя!!!!! Привет из Тольятти! 👏👏👍👍🤝🤝🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Can't wait to see Rybakina at the top of rankings in 2024.
Amazing victory ; I have never seen Rybakina moving her long legs SO FAST ! ( not lazy anymore )
She is starting to look more and more like Sharapova on the court and Sharapova was a grinder at the end of her career.
@@westonmeyer3110 yeah, except that she has a better serve than Sharapova, but to be honest, I think Sharapova would have won at least 10 slams if she had not played with that compromised shoulder for most of her career.
I was gobsmacked in this match by Elina, wow she took Aryna out and made it look a walk in the park, good luck to rybakina for AO im excited for her
Looked like a bad day at the office for Saba with Elena just on top of every ball, hitting it so well. Well done.
sabalenka hits hard and hope it stays on court.
After the US Open, this is definitely a bad day.
Wow! If Elena keeps playing like that... Iga will have some real competition for #1.
Rybakina’s forehand might be the best in the WTA right now.
It probably is, Sabalenka has a monster forehand but she always avoids going into prolonged forehand to forehand crosscourt rallies with Rybakina because she always loses those exchanges. Same goes with Iga.
Looks like some good work put in during the pre-season by Rybakina. Her arms looked more toned than before, too!
Stunning performance 👏👏👏
I just love it when they are so sweet off the court and a 👹 on it! 😂😂❤
The world of tennis is so proud of both of you.
I hope Elena wins another Slam this year (one she actually get points for). For now she is my favorite for the Australian Open.
She probably is close to the favorite now.
I will also consider Iga Świątek. She won all single matches at united cup and won China Open and WTA finals at the end of the season, she also won 6-4 with Rybakina at wył.
Sabalenka is a great example of modern power tennis in the ladies game and of what happens to that when power is all you have. Elena played a much more cerebral match imho. Lovely sportsman(woman)ship at the net too.
After this, the United Cup and the Auckland Classic, really looking forward to AO...
Rybakina is going to play Adelaide first before the AO
Clase magistral de Elena; sobre todo con el reves!! Enhorabuena y aviso para navegantes!!
Rybakina must be the toughest to play when you feel that she never misses and never shows any emotions (except a slight smirk).
One of the best performances in the history of womens tennis. INCREDIBLE.
Rybakina puts Sabalenka in her place. When she's on, no one can beat her, not even Swiatek.
Rybakina Vs. Sabalenka The Rematch In Last Year’s Australian Open Women’s Final
Claiming it. Rybakina will win a slam and get to that freaking #1 spot this year! Praying 🙏 for no injury for her as well. WTA is shaping up with Iga, Saba, Coco, Rybakina can slug it out for the #1 spot and grandslams while the comeback queens: wozniacki, kerber, osaka and azarenka will pose a threat to them. Exciting!
Only Osaka is a threat, the rest are just very good gatekeepers, imho.
@@tennisobserver995 Osaka hasn't been a threat since her French Open meltdown. Maybe she's matured, but it's a long climb for her to start consistently beating Swiatek, Rybakina and Sabalenka...all who have gotten tougher and improved during Osaka's time away.
@@tennisobserver995I’m not expecting much from Osaka this season, but next season (assuming she stays healthy), I think she’ll be the one to beat on hard courts just like she was before she took a break.
She needs Iga to keep Gauff at bay for a while to do that because Gauff’s style will be tricky for Rybakina until she learns to move a bit better and add a little more variety.
If Pegula catches up to Gauff and knocks her out of number 4 then Rybakina could be in trouble potentially.
I think that swiatek Will win Australia and French open rybakina in wimbledon and US open Saba
Crisp
Icy cold
Precise
Humble.
So nice to see elena in this top form. I was never her fan since her wimbledon win but I think she is in really good shape now.
Silent and tranquil.
Does she practice at all? No tan. The only one with no tan and even with a pinkish glow.
No over reaction like leylah after every point or every crucial point. Just so so so cool.
She smiled after the last point. I smiled too.
Her smile broadened and both of them smiled after a hug. My eyes watered. I guess sports coupled with such warmth is moving. Aryna is a super nice person too.
Elena has a kind of sweet modesty that iga lacks.
I love iga's shots.
Nothing really about aryna.
Starting to enjoy watching elena. My fav player is Vika. I was sad yesterday but well she's 34+.
I enjoy top tennis but really enjoy iga.
Will be an exciting year. Elena will be up the ranks for sure. Up in this case will be 1 or 2.
Aryna's edge is her super good physical condition. Rarely injured in 2023.
"She smiled after the last point. I smiled too.
Her smile broadened and both of them smiled after a hug. My eyes watered. I guess sports coupled with such warmth is moving." These are easily the best six sentences in this comment thread. So glad to know tennis fans like you still exist. Thank you, ma'am.

Go and take the Aussie Slam this year Elena. Go go go🎉
Get that Australian Open, girl!
Rybakina is like a lady Nojo, she can throw the ball any place she wants to confuse her opponents subsequently losing their balance, i really love watching her play, no grunts no ahhhs just superb tennis💕
Cool and calculated shots. Elena is way dominant. Hope she will get more trophies.
If Elena can keep up this level of consistency, she could win multiple slams this year and even grab the #1 ranking! Here’s to hoping. Much prefer her over Iga…
If she wins AO then she will definitely want to get another Wimbledon too.
I also expect to her to go for the US Open and at least finally go deep there and she will definitely do better at RG than last year.
Hopefully she wins the Aussie Open, deserves it. Best on the WTA...
Тот случай, когда невероятная мощь бессильна против превосходной техники.
Great performance by Rybakina 👏👏👏👏
Sabalenka:makes a lot of noise
Rybakina:does not make any sound
