Elena Rybakina v Danielle Collins Extended Highlights | Australian Open 2023 Third Round

[@dandresaldi]

Elena is a faster and with better "hands" version of Pliskova, great talent, I really like that she is very shy 🥺

[@charlesvorones3612]

Yes, her shyness is very endearing

[@ceterisparibus6261]

@@charlesvorones3612 because it is genuine and fits her persona. She does not apply to be overpowering with the media as a look at me girl and pick me. She is just her...and that comes across as cute. And she is cute!!! But her game is hard as nails.

[@franekkrol1389]

If we need to compare I would say that Elena is the new Petra. The same grace and humbleness

[@matejsoulek3419]

Her gamestyle reminds me more of right-handed Petra than Pliskova

[@andrewmark2783]

I don't see the Pliskova comparison. Pliskova plays very flat, whereas Rybakina plays a heavy ball. Pliskova chooses not to run down balls, whereas Rybakina likes to move forward and can defend well. Pliskova doesn't like being at the net, whereas Rybakina has good instincts at the net. Pliskova doesn't get down well for low bouncing balls, whereas Rybakina doesn't have an issue with them. Rybakina's biggest problem is staying focused for a whole match - much like Petra Kvitova. I think she plays a little bit more within herself than Kvitova does though, so she doesn't tend to be *so* bad when she loses focus.

[@lukewalker1051]

Would love to see talented Elena go all the way and win the tournament. Love her big power game. A woman of extreme grace and a star.

[@elizabethferidobohlin9943]

I pray for her all over AO victory…was upset when she was ranked only no. 28 and played in arenas behind those prime venues like Rod Laver arena…so happy now that she has pushed through. Elena is a graceful, beautiful and very composed player.

[@TheJovan211]

Well, she's not that far away now, only one match more to win and she's there! I cheer for her as well! 🎉😎💪

[@tomyoung2065]

No ranking points from Wimbledon, Rybakina is hungry for this.

[@MegaMoflis]

yes and because of this ridiculous situation we have a match in the QF of two players with GS wins from last year, any another player in the draw has it, normally they should meet in SF, very unfair

[@mr.g2195]

Well-deserved win Elena. You are a talented player go all the way to the final and lift the trophy. Congratulations to you.

[@ABxx2011]

She has the face of an angel and the game of a champion. I think she has a real chance to beat Iga and go all the way.

[@ajollypanda4175]

What does her face have to do with anything

[@ceterisparibus6261]

she is just cute. very very cute and we all love her for that and her powerful game.

[@humbertsmith8864]

I agree with your "face" comment! She is a doll!

[@bratSebastian]

@@ajollypanda4175 She's a woman. We love to watch women for their beauty. Men are being watched for their strength, power, speed and agility. I thinks Rybakina is a big favorite against Swiatek. Hopefully that will make her (Iga) raising her level so she can develope even further.

[@prkjngsng]

@@bratSebastian your face won’t win you tournaments. focus on her game not her looks

[@yiuyu401]

Elena's a next generation super star ⭐, she got every tools in the bag, she is very crafty player,she figures out how to win,and very focus, wishing her all the luck in the future, she is going to be number one soon, stay healthy.🤞👍🏆😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

[@yiuyu2232]

Elena just taken out the number one in straight sets, just like a normal day at work.🎉😍👍 so who is number one now.😮❤

[@Cla_Disney]

It's going to be very interesting to watch Rybakina vs Swiatek

[@PQV-8898]

Wow, as much pace as Collins hit the tennis ball, Rybakina hits even harder. The power of these two women is unreal. Too bad one has to lose.

[@poeda6637]

She's so good! And one of the nicest persons on tour, polite, no drama, grunting, racquet throwing, fist pumping, just great tennis. Love her!

[@ashokpadhy1100]

Also very stylish player. Almost textbook technique. She looks graceful in every shot.

[@MegaMoflis]

yes basically I still don't know what kind of player and person she is, well said that she is not showing any emotion

[@LIZZZZZZZZZZZX]

Go Elena!!! for someone who won wimbledon I hardly see any coverage of her at all, unless u are a tennis fan you wont have no idea who she is, I got rod laver tickets on thursday night and saw novak and ons who receives way more coverage than elena considering that she didnt win anything? oh well bring on the 4th round

[@karinadiana901]

It was the same with Iga Swiatek after shoe won her first slam Roland Garros

[@L.A.C_Santos]

I can’t understand the stubbornness of this AO channel putting the winners photo always, so they kill the thrill, and I do take it as un respectful for us the viewers, like we are totally second or third kind of people who didn’t pay for a ticket or didn’t watch the match live, so then we don’t deserve the thrill of not knowing who wins.

[@bhug25]

Agree, this is a true oversight by AO. They have missed the mark.

[@luisabarca7363]

Elena Rybakina is a big star... She has everything: power, huge first serve, great handskils, finesse... However, her greatest weapon is her mature and calm demeanour on court... She never panic, she is always in control of herself. She doesn't spend energy in useless display of theatrics or premature celebrations. Also, she is a good sport. She never try to use the public in her favor, innoble tactic that nowadays is used by almost everyone, specially locally supported players. Tennis should be always one against one. Never “me and the full stadium against my rival”, as Nick Kyrgios, Kokkinakis and a few others believe it should be... And the frustrated Australian fans are happy to play along... It sound like a little desperation to me.

[@ЕленаГордиенко-у1ю]

Молодец, Леночка, только вперёд! ✊👏👏👏💐

[@roberttelford745]

I'm calling it now. Elena's going to win 2 GS this year. This and either Wimbledon and the USO

[@MoorishBrooklyn]

Good effort by Danielle till this point. Rybakina was very sharp this match.

[@ceterisparibus6261]

It is not an issue about her being pretty and playing tennis. It is a statement about the fact that she is a talented tennis player and she happens to be a likeable person. Good for her an I hope she wins this tournament.

[@rn2511]

Always a pleasure to watch Elena. 🙇🏽‍♀️

[@ObservingtheMatrix]

Collins is still finding her range and confidence after being on such a crazy hot streak. I hope she stays healthy this year because she can do really big damage at majors and really deserves to break through and win one.

[@benthekeeshond545]

It is not easy to beat Collins but Elena played better. Elena has a big 1st serve. No wonder she won Wimbledon.

[@charlesvorones3612]

"not easy to beat Collins..." You can say that again!! Sheeeesh... no one wants it more than Danielle. i would think every player on the circuit would absolutely dread facing her. Never a free point... not one.

[@benthekeeshond545]

@@charlesvorones3612 Elena was accurate with her serves and I think that was how she won. But it was not easy for Elena. Also, Elena is going to face Swiatek. Collins would have a better chance winning against Swiatek than Elena.

[@travelkogaly]

Proud of Elena, good match . Wish you next game only victory

[@itsmeforsure5475]

Dani had a nice comeback and was hitting some nice shots, but Elena won W for a reason. Nice highlight at 30-30 of the 1st game of the 3rd set, they both were smacking the ball pretty good. That might have been a will breaker. Compliments to both ladies.

[@ordinaryguy6869]

Collins got some much needed humility. Go Elena!!!

Yeahhhhh Elena❤

[@umbulsawunggaling7042]

On of the best performance from Elena. Tactical, powerful and strong mental. Love to watch her way to play. If I have to suggess is only to be more agressive on anticipating opponent's return.

[@Antonius2085]

Another great match ruined by the thumbnail photo that gives away the winner of every single match. Thanks for the spoilers AO. Really well thought out by your online team 👍🏼

[@jovesheerwater]

Elena doesn't fall all over the court and behave like a sugared-up child when she wins her matches; whoever she plays, she knows she has a strong possibility of winning so it's not a big surprise to her. What a classy, humble, beautiful person.

[@fabienh3943]

Finally a match between two non hysterical players. Been a while.

[@ceterisparibus6261]

HUGE round of applause to both. D. Collins was brilliant and never let up in the second set but I think she needed to dig deeper if she wanted to win. I fully fully applaud and congratulate E. Rybakina. Amazing tennis and similar style to her opponent. The difference was that she was more precise and played some shots better. Not too much luck in terms of shot other than some of the ones I saw in this sequence but I think we can all agree Ryba was the better player in this match. A complete story of tennis love ... wish I could tell her frequently that I love her. Congrats ryba!

[@dahsaw]

Congrats, Ribba. Always a great day when Collins gets beaten, especially when she's beaten comprehensively! Well played, well deserved victory for Ribba.

[@PresentTrue852]

It's a video editing that makes me wonder how the winner won. Is Collins the winner? The editing, which excludes the winner's fine scoring scene and highlights only the loser's score, is devilish editing.

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Collins has heart and she will go down fighting like Nadal. But she wasnt going far on her leg.

[@Alfredul03]

There's something wrong with Danielle Collins and it's how uncomfortable she gets when she's up against very aggressive players who hit the ball much harder than her, which she doesn't know how to control. Just watch as Ribakina hits a hard deep ball on the ball and Collins is left unarmed and forced off balance completely. Another observation regarding this match is that, since Collins hits the ball very hard, Rybakina likes that kind of strong blows very well, since she receives it and counterattacks very well. I love them both, I like them very much but one had to win and it was the Kazaka who won. Collins will have to improve on what I mentioned above, I wish I was around her and told her, I think she would love my notes to improve her game. IMHO!

[@lukewalker1051]

Its called getting beat at your own game. Elena is stronger. Feed a power hitter like Elena pace like Collins does, this is the result. Collins did win the 2nd set. Sorry Alfredo. Collins could care less about your notes. She is coached by the best.

Rankings are more based on consistent high levels at multiple tournaments and not just a good winner here or there

[@amerajanovic4841]

@@kecleonboi lol 'a good winner here or there'? Are you kidding me? Rybakina won a grand slam, at Wimbledon no less, and would be in top 8 had Wimbledon points been awarded, so stop spreading misinformation, and give credit where credit is due. I agree, rankings SHOULD reflect consistent high levels at tournaments, but currently they don't, as 1 full grand slam points are NOT included in the ranking system. This doesn't benefit anyone, least of all the champions!
