Qinwen Zheng v Aryna Sabalenka | Final | Extended Australian Open 2024 Highlights 🇦🇺

Sabalenka's grunting is startiing to grate. She groans longer and longer and even prolonging the noise seconds after the ball has been hit. It's now become tactical for her. Easily best in tournament but something should be done about her sounding off like this..

[@generalshockwavekingpin326]

Sabalenka was simply, too good. Great win.

[@laman8914]

Too much power tennis for Zheng to handle. Kudos to Aryna

[@nasoinotna3400]

Her tennis skills are almost as impressive as her grunting intensity! The latter prevented me from watching the final. Nevertheless I admit she deserved the title. Well done!

[@Funkytrip73]

yeah me neither. 8 minutes of highlights were bearable though. Wish they would ban the grunts since you don't need them and most grunters do it only to hide the point of contact which often gives away clues about slice and power.

Which tennis skills? Hitting every ball as hard as possibile Is a skill?

[@shootingfromthehip3600]

[@andrewmark2783]

Sabalenka deserves this. She was a ferocious ball striker when she first broke through on tour but she had two big weaknesses: her movement and her second serve. She put in the hard work and fixed both those aspects of her game. Other players should take note.

[@time2shinex707]

Watch sabalenka were you watching, she has not fixed her foot speed,she does not need to because she can over power most of her opponents,coco has her number and she will be beaten on slower courts by coco in 2024.Sabalenka is a slow moving power fitter, the key to beaten her is move her around and not be intimidated by her and she will fold.

​@@TheLmpowerI think Swiatek has far more to her game and a higher ceiling but Sabalenka, Gauff and Rybakina are all strong at the moment so it's not going to be easy to dominate.

grats to both of them but... they should start making some rules about grunting. zheng is about to hit the ball back and the grunting is still going on from Sabalenka. would find it distracting af.

[@OptimusOctopuss5302]

I don’t hold anything against Sabalenka but that grunting can’t be for so long. I can still hear the grunting when I watch the opponent hit the ball. Don’t get it why WTA haven’t reacted already.

Start giving her penalties instead of allowing her to do this shit and being rewarded because she annoys her opponent. The fact Zheng earns millions from this tournament and players like Ruusuvuori only some thousands is ridicolous. I would never watch this match live, but apparently a lot of people pay to watch this level of tennis and hear a player scream for the whole match.

To be fair loads of players have loud ‘grunts’ both past and present. Seles used to get loads of stick for it. Murray does it often, Nadal + Djokovic also although maybe not as extended. Personally doesn’t bother me. If it bothered the players I’m guessing they’d have the rules changed.
