Aryna Sabalenka played her heart out on the court stay focus 2moro when you play against oscopenco we love you tiger 🐅

[@romavictor3]

she is deliberately trying to intimidate with her long drawn out obnoxious hateful snarls and screams. She thinks she sounds like a hero or a tiger, but she is a scandal, a disgrace to women's tennis. She is completely in league with Putin and his oppressive intimidation philosophy.

Dear WTA, I would be happy if you can upload the match switolina vs kalinskaya

[@AM-xy6xk]

Svitolina doesn't play often nowadays but when she plays, you can see Monfis's influence. She plays more agressively now.

Arina is a machine, my admiration!

CONGRATULATIONS! To both wonderful and amazing players who truly deserve to be celebrated for the great work they have put together in this tournament. In my humble opinions and respect for everyone commenting on this platform, l strongly believe no one can fathom how hard they’ve worked beyond their limits to compete in this sport of tennis 🎾 However, l believe if standards are enhanced by the WTA ensuring that other players are not intimidated by their opponents in anyway possible to avoid unacceptable behaviours and practices of their respective countries on the courts, professional tennis would be more appropriate and enjoyable for all. Well done! ELINA, KERBER, NAOMI AND VICKY and the rest of the mothers in professional tennis 🎉🎉🎉🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🔥 You must be proud of yourselves for returning back to the world of tennis. You ladies have demonstrated a high level of courage and sportsmanship to the younger players and your legacy will be greatly appreciated in the future. KUDOS, TO YOU ALL. NOW, to Aryna, CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. You played an incredible match against all odds, even at the verge of losing. What a fight and a comeback for a thrilling victory today!!!!! Can’t wait to see you playing more tournaments and improving your game and skills for the rest of your career, and winning 🏆more grand slams. WELL DONE!!!! ARYNA 🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🏆🏆🏆

Дякую Еліна Світоліна за чудову впевнену гру. ........... Thanks to Elina Svitolina for a wonderful confident performance. Elina's opponent received a decent resistance and only the last draws of the tiebreaker decided the winner.

Daha sıralamaya bile girmemislerken yillardır sevdiğim, destekledigim iki tenisçi, Svitolina daha bı sempatik tabi her zaman, yeni anne oldu falan, Ah be Svitolinam şu kriktik anların senelerdir üstesinden gelemedin bı, maça iyi başlayıp kıl payı sonunu getiremiyor çoğu zaman. Şimdiye ne kupalar almış , ne finaller oynamıştın, sağlık olsun
