Rybakina reminds me of Lindsay Davenport: no drama, no fist pump, no grunt, simple effective big babe tennis. Hope she wins the whole thing!

[@roter13]

Davenport was moody as hell though. Big difference.

[@11liamk1]

YES I have always thought that - her playing style too. Tall and a great ball stricker, hits the ball very clean

[@dowanelawrence4012]

It depends on what you practice in training.Some players are just acting extra.

[@maximilian2974]

@roter13 for once, I agree with you. Davenport was like Andy Murray in Grand Slams, just so negative and beat themselves on the big stages.

[@brandonaldaymachuse6669]

She plays exactly like Sharapova though...just much more quiet/mute...no drama, just professional, aggressive big babe tennis. Love her.

[@edgarfuentes5173]

Great match . Great run by Azarenka. I want Rybakina to win this AO. She deserves be on the top . Brilliant talent

[@salverde100]

Rybakina: the beautiful silent assassin with the Mona Lisa smile. If it was the other players who won the tie break and the match, she will be jumping up and down and screaming to the top of her lungs. Instead she just let out a smile and proceeded to shake hands with Azarenka.

[@dowanelawrence4012]

Human beings are different.Everyone is unique.We can't all possess the same personalities.

[@softwhiteund3rarm0r]

Yes I'm in agreement. Refreshing to see her be so chill

[@UNCLETQB]

Very poetic and accurate description of Rybakina. Thanks!

[@jamesjvis6823]

I don't mind them showing excitement and letting out some noise when they win, or even after getting the point. I don't think they should be allowed to make so much noise when the ball is in play.

[@roter13]

If Wimbledon had just given Elena points, she would be number 2 by now...

[@EE-bg1de]

Facts! I love that we have someone finally pushing Switek!

[@salverde100]

More to admire from Rybakina: when she wasn't given any point for her Wimbledon Championship, she didn't whine, she didn't complain that she deserves higher ranking. When she lost in tournaments after Wimbledon, she didn't make excuses or made justifications for her losses.

[@charlie172011]

This is literally false.

[@mjuza7114]

@@charlie172011 She would be fourth (only 185 points behind 2nd place), but if she had those 2000 points, she would get better ranking and would get easier opponents on all tournaments (including US Open) she played after Wimbledon and would get better chance to win more points...she would even played WTA Finals last year...with more points, she would be No. 2

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Thats why Rybakina gonna blow the doors off in 2023 if she can just stay healthy!

[@BoomerBaskins]

So unbelievably happy for her. I hope she wins her 2nd slam and shuts up all the naysayers.

[@simenwu5499]

Elena has a great body shape for tennis. She hit lots of clean winners. More titles are coming, I believe.

[@ShoulderUnderwear]

@@danieltallon5087 I haven’t heard anything like that said about her.

[@AnutaTaylor-Joy]

@@ShoulderUnderwear but Elena had no big results outside Wimbledon, that's true. I was sure before pandemic she will be big name because of her game and nerve. But the first time she is dominating is only now

[@KnowTrentTimoy]

Elena's two-handed backhand is just devastating. When she has some time to set up for it there's almost no chance for her opponent to return it back.

[@jameslarot6292]

Elena Rybakina is looking very determined to play into the WTA AO open final championship against a very well improved player Sabalenka. This is going to be a very exciting game between the two as both players have the firepower and ground strokes. Elena Rybakina showed greater confidence mentally and physically in her game while being humble at the same time. She looked like she had gained more fans in the process. Sit back, relax and enjoy the AO open while these two great players show their abilities to conquer the other for the trophy.

[@shiftt.]

This will be an amazing final, whether Sabalenka or Rybakina wins, I'll cheer for both!

[@danieltallon5087]

No grunters either aka watchable !

[@angelosisam903]

Rybakina no screaming and grunting just getting on with it and a occasional sweet smile

[@StephaneVilasco]

I am starting to like her a lot and since I watch a lot of videos to perfect my game, she's a great player to emulate.

[@walterajimenez9466]

Rybakina is very smart, she creates the points and opens up the court to hit winners. She's also moving better so she's definitely the one to watch for the rest of the season.

[@Chinguenguenza]

Rybakina, my babe, THANK YOU for stopping the Azarenka squeals. I did not want to hear those screeches in the final.

[@kevinwaters5872]

Rybakina is number one in waiting. She has an incredibly athletic physique and a great service game. The “touch” shots will improve with experience. Aza gave it all she had but just fell short. Both play in the right spirit. Congratulations.

[@baldassarealessi1007]

Thank you video semifinal Elena Ribakina is Victoria Azarenka brilliant compliment.

[@kirbonite]

Quiet power, solid fundamentals. No grunting, No trick shots no gratuitous celbration .. It's just business. Glad to see her success !

[@oliverdiamante761]

My favorite ice queen. I hope she wins AO not only because I like her game, but Sabalenka irritates the F*ck out of me

If Ryba develop better net plays like drop shots and angle volleys, she will be much stronger.

[@jimlee2414]

She's working on it. She's going up and up and up.

[@KH-sn2sj]

I do see Lindsay Davenport in Rybakina. Both are tall with exceptional hands & timing which is why their strokes are so well struck. Only differences I see is that Lindsay had the more consistent serve, while Elena moves better footspeed wise. The final is definitely gonna be on her racquet.

[@roter13]

Also, Davenport was super moody. She has even admitted that herself.

[@KH-sn2sj]

@@roter13 Most definitely!

[@EE-bg1de]

I think she's got the pop on her forehands like Monica Seles.

[@brandonaldaymachuse6669]

Davenport was not beautiful tho. I think Rybakina is more like Sharapova in demeanor and aggressive playing style. Davenport had no FiRE 💥🗯💥...Rybakina may be quiet assassin but she's intense under that calm. Its bubbling right below the surface.

[@waldiforest4]

Absolutely amazing Rybakina.Future nr.1.

[@makamurphy]

Rybakina is a powerful hitter, she smashes that ball so hard it flies with speed! She's the best female tennis player out now... better than number 1 Iga

[@razgriz1ne1ne48]

As much as I was hoping Vika would win, the WTA needs this, it needs more players like Ryb and Iga to be at the top, gruntless, hyper physical, heavy power, variety, more importance in quality stroke production, and in Rybs case calm almost Terminator like attitude but kind and polite, gracious in defeat or victory rather than the flat power only baseliners that grunt louder than a blender, and grunt louder and longer if they are losing, and if they lose its "OH I only lost cause I made errors" or "I didn't take my chances" even if they had 40+ winners and 6 UFEs.

[@Erick92BC]

I love Rybakina too, seems so relaxed and that helps her to hit those clean powerful winners. The only thing she's missing is slice, she would cover the court better with it.

[@sachitkhanna3738]

This highlight reel is a sham. I can clearly spot the bias of the team doing the final edit. Rybakina wins the second set comfortably, but the highlights show 6 points that Azarenka won and only 4 that Rybakina won. I've spotted similar bias in a lot of the highlight reels when Djokovic (media's enemy) would face Federer/Nadal (media's favorites). Please produce highlight reels that truly reflect how the match went, and who was in the ascendency.

[@nicholasmali3538]

Way to go Rybakina, keep on rolling!

[@vosharap]

Great match from Rybakina!

[@dpakholly]

The equanimity of Rybakina is remarkable.

great tennis

[@joserafaelmorarosero4390]

Grande rybakina, , respetuosa, magnifica jugadora.

[@PQV-8898]

Rybakina can hit clean winners both sides from anywhere on the court. Her power is insane!

[@dariusbrock2351]

Congratulations and good job Rybakina!

[@leonardobraynen1524]

I thought Azarenka turned the match around at 3-2 1st set; But then Rybakina snatched the break right back in a hurry!

[@jimlee2414]

Did the same thing to Swiatek this week - Rybakina went down 2-0 in the second set and then won 6 of the next 8 games to close out the world no. 1!!!

[@sirinpun]

Hope to see you in WTA final this year Elena ❤🎉

[@Marqc420]

I was rooting for Azarenka but good win for Rybakina. Crazy how Rybakina only has a few WTA with one being Wimbledon. Hope she wins the Final against Sabalenka and her screeching grunt.

[@kinglucifer4579]

One intresting facts Swaitek Idol : Nadal Rybakina Idol : Federer

[@ciao_abhi]

The grunt is killing me

[@tjg801]

Now we get to hear the loudest squealer vs the quiet composed player.

[@lognathan7119]

No reaction from Elena after qualifying for the finals at a Grand Slam? I have seen players at my club, literally rolling over the floor, after winning some random useless matches.

[@flavieflo848]

Well done Elena ❤

[@Hammerton32]

watching Azarenka's return positioning and her ability to counter the serve makes clear the tactical mistakes made by Swiatek who moves better than Vika, but insisted on returning on the baseline against Rybakina and lost.

[@edgarmacabasa6682]

The big reason Swiatek lost badly to Rybakina was because the match was played during daytime and warm conditions, hence the ball travels faster and since Rybakina hits the ball with such power in her serves and have very flat groundies, Iga did not have much time to put more spin on the ball. However, I do believe that everytime Rybakina plays Iga at the AO Rybakina is going to win because the AO courts are just fast and tailor-made for players like Rybakina. Iga's game, much like her idol Nadal. is more suited to slower courts like clay and the US Open.

[@quintinrice2733]

Watching these highlights, I thought Vika had won that first set. Rybakina has power and great shot selection. I see that someone else agrees with my comparison to Lindsay Davenport. The Ball just flies off of her racket. Great Power just like Lindsay. I hope you she'll win as many events as Lindsay.

[@felixfranco]

On the second set highlights all of azarenka highlights geez

Hopefully she will not lose in french open in the first round as she did in UO.

[@karenv8351]

5:34 that's what I love about Vika, must girls would find it easier to stay there to wait for the ball when it's obvious the opponent will throw it the other way. Vika makes that extra effort to get there and win more points.

[@joseluismartinez6069]

Rybakina finally top 🔟

[@KrishnenduKes]

Her emotions on court remind me of a mason laying bricks, something akin to a great tennis player named Pete Sampras!

[@SpiderIAN1515]

The difference of 10 years of age, weigh. But, I think that if Azarenka yelled a little less, he would have more energy to play! 🤔

[@julzcdg4880]

This feels like Azarenka's highlights only.

[@timleelim9930]

I'm figuring maybe the decibels won't be coming from Rybakina's end of the court against Sabalenka.

[@sickbrain]

The way these videos are cut sucks. 5:3 in the set, deuce. Let's cut to 5:5. Maybe it's important to show serve breaks?

Rybakina is natural evolution of the big flat hitter game style. Masha Sharapova played with more spin, a little less precise. Petra play with no margin, no spin. Rybakina is arguably a better athlete than Masha, Petra…
