The biggest surprise of the match is Ostapenko being very kind at the net after losing pretty comfortably in straight sets 😂

[@bahacho9205]

She has no chance today.

[@sds2954]

Came for this comment😂

[@ElleBrOw]

Good sportsmanship is recognized & appreciated 💕

[@phantomtroupe8430]

She was just happy to make the QF being so overweight. She is probably having a milkshake afterwards to celebrate 😅

[@andrea_rita007]

Porque solia practicar con sabalenka en la temporada 2021 tienen una buena relación ambas..

[@TY-vd7fs]

This is actually first time Ostapenko being really nice at the net after defeat. She must respect Aryna a lot

[@azeezat8774]

Again jabeur in Stuttgart, gauff in d us open😏

[@andrea_rita007]

Porque ostapenko solia practicar con sabalenka por eso es la buena relación, si ven el canal de daria kasátkina es diferente ostapenko a fuera de la cancha, su problema es lo mental que la arruina..

[@mr.g2195]

I was thinking exactly the same. Rarely seen Ostapenka so nice in shaking hands.

[@warleyleal8767]

I don't think so. Ostapenko do not respect any opponent... Today, she realized her huge inferiority and, she was convinced who small she had become.

[@sicboi]

Even the worst of people know when to be polite to their betters.

[@whasilmalik]

AwakenBeerus, you're a legend! You called it spot on, same as you described on your IG. GOATED 🙌

[@sabbialmighty7249]

scammer alerttttt

[@Gandrewjm]

Wow, she smiled and was polite and pleasant after losing. WHO ARE YOU!? And what have you done with Jelena?? 😂

[@johnboyzan3304]

I think even she knows that losing to the world number 2 isnt so bad, especially when she knows the world number 1 has never beaten her 😊

[@thecookie0079]

Nobody: Comments: Ostapenkos handshake 😂

[@charlesfaure1189]

The haters are commenting to deny any credit for it.

[@kofipokuantwi-boateng5446]

Very impressive from Aryna Sabalenka. She played a very dangerous and unpredictable opponent, yet won easily. Her drop shots in her last few matches have been superb.

[@user-hg3cz8gm7b]

Ostpenko was being so kind 🎉

[@johnnytangsh]

All comments are about the handshake, not the match. So weird ........

[@skatedurr]

4:29 handshake

[@TheBalayanka]

Coming for whether ostapenko handshake to sabalenka with a smile or not..

[@andrea_rita007]

Porque ambas solian practicar juntas en su tiempo, si buscas el video de practica con ostapenko y sabalenka en indians wells 2021 veras que se rien juntas y practican, además los videos de kasátkina ostapenko es distintan..

[@escorpioana]

Wow! Ostapenko smiling after being defeated 😮

[@ottopotomas]

I AM SO HERE FOR THE SABALENKA SWIATEK FINAL REMATCH!!!!

[@ElleBrOw]

Saba is a force to be reckoned with ✅

[@einarsd4]

Only when umpires favor her like in this match. This umpire was awful. So many uncalled Sabalenka's unforced errors and Ostapenko's winners.

[@ElleBrOw]

@@einarsd4 She has the unlimited option to challenge. It’s the awful commentators for me 😣 They show favoritism as well & chatty on personal issues.

[@redfalcon3721]

@@einarsd4 How predictable.

[@einarsd4]

@@redfalcon3721 Yes, how predictable it was that umpire will favor Sabalenka over Ostapenko just because she is ranked higher.

The face Ostapenko makes when she serves cracks me up.

I never saw Jelena so reserved and composed during a match and NEVER such a nice handshake WITH a smile after a loss

[@RomanVarypaev2]

You should watch her handshake with Sharapova

[@kevineyk]

Great match from Aryna, pretty consistent hitting throughout the match. Also is so nice seeing Ostapenko being nice to another player.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Well done Aryna! 👏🎾❤️

[@eyeofthetiger6002]

Strange how Iga has never beaten Penko in 4 meetings,she must be pretty relieved Sabalenka won.😅

[@dianafierro465]

Swiatek has pretty bad record against Penko but Penko has bad record against anyone Swiatek has good record with. What can we say, tennis is odd sport. Anyway Swiatek and Penko style is similar maybe Swiatek just need to play her more to finalky break her. Who knows.

[@KT-lj2st]

It’s still a mystery lol. But it’s also funny that sabalenka, rybakina, and swiatek are each other’s kryptonites as well.

[@clintinb5219]

It’s like boxing styles makes fights.

[@ql3670]

It's called matchup in tennis. When a player's strength happens to line up with the other player's weakness, it's bad news for the other player.

[@netgodzilla1]

​​@@dianafierro465 actually Krejickova is also kryptonites for Iga but she doesnt focus on singles anymore. Lucky for Iga

Penko smiling after loosing the match??? Oh gurl is ok with Aryna! Hehe

@@andrea_rita007 que decís si la última vez le negó el saludo, estás en todos los comentarios diciendo lo mismo jaja

[@sherry8339]

Anyone notice Sabalenka has been mostly put in an unfavorable schedule, Ostapenko too. One half of draw have one day off between QF and SF; the other half don't, they have to play SF the next day. Sabalenka has been in the unfavorable half for most of time, but Iga, Coco seem to always on the other half that have one day off between. I am not even a super fan of Sabalenka, but I don't like unfairness in sports.

[@Jarkinson]

Bullshit. That happened maybe 2 or 3 times, but IGA 80% of draws has tough draw. Screamalenka 80% if time has highway to semi-finals!

[@sherry8339]

@@Jarkinson Bullshit, iga has tough draws? you are in an alternative land.

[@mehmetdogaguvendi580]

As a Iga Swiatek supporter, I am really delighted to see the victory of Sabalenka against impudent and insolent Latvian tennis player. Huge congratulations to Aryna Sabalenka for trouncing her in this round. It is really a gigantic progress which was lucidly made by Belarusian tennis competitor. She was relentless along the entire showdown.

[@frozonagexxpli1163]

Osta polishing up her attitude 😅

[@paullord3549]

Sabalenka`s grunt is just ridiculous. It`s still going after her opponent has hit the return shot!!

Jelena was HUMBLED today by Saba. She knew she got her butt splattered all over on the court today, and it was a good thing for her. Now she will go off, and try harder to get in shape.

[@leonardobraynen1524]

Dude, I was sooo lookin forward to Ostapenko's handshake at the net. Forget the gms, its all about Ostapenko's antics after the match! But yeh surprisingly, she behaved herself! 😂

[@angatage2660]

Isn't it curiosity that there's not a single interview and press conference of Collins in this whole tournament???

[@drinkfromhisgrace]

anyone noticed there was a point Sabalenka wasn't screaming while hitting returns? Means she doesn't have to yell while playing? Great game she played though.

[@Sportscentre5]

Aryna Sabalenka is so strong physically as well as mentally.

[@stafkerremans]

That was not Ostapenko at the net!! But I still love her

[@user-sz2ut4od6s]

Ostapenko has been reading her reviews by the fans. She’s making an effort to appear to be a good sportsman.

[@Tennis85]

Ostapenko must be reading all our comments 😂 she actually smiled and shook hands after losing…that’s a first!

[@muza8882]

Dzisiaj już tak łatwo nie będzie. Daniela Collins ostatnio gra świetnie...czeka nas bardzo ciekawy mecz...podobnie jak Świątek z Gauff..

[@aliridwan10]

Iga is happy with this result

[@lelet00738]

And so with Sabalenka.she beat the childish girl.😄😄😄

[@Sportscentre5]

what a spin by Ostapenko 02:22

[@2smoulder]

At least there's a decent crowd at this match.

[@RALF0691]

They follow each other on IG so that explains the respect they have for each other.

[@danyagamingone]

Kids who hating jelena, what now? Firm handshake and smile. Very good sportsmanship and demeanor, nice game Ostapenko 👏

[@janjr165]

ONE decent handshake does not excuse the hundreds of disrespectful handshakes that Jelena has given other players. She is NO saint.

[@lelet00738]

​@@janjr165 Agree ..

[@gseric4721]

Just smart, decisive, and even play from Aryna. I guess we just have to get used to seeing her play this methodically on the clay surface. And congrats to Jelena on reaching the QF's.

[@IrfanZuberi1980]

On the whole, Aryna made that look comfortable... Jelena's shotmaking capabilities are second to none when she's in form or annoyed, but she rolled over fairly easily today!

[@RealMan]

Saba vs Iga final again?

[@ursulakirejczyk1346]

Definitely

[@paulinastepien1282]

Hope so !!

[@jukkao.parviainen8669]

Definitely, how on earth Coco could pull it off? There is more danger to Aryna if Collins is against her in semi.

[@RealMan]

@@jukkao.parviainen8669 yeah. Maybe Iga vs Danimal final

[@jeffcohntennis]

Literally no context as to how Ostapenko got broken twice in the first set. What kind of highlights are these??

[@kevinwaters5872]

In a strange twist , a local airport complained about the noise from the players ! Congrats to Stinko for accepting the loss.

[@johannah6696]

I am Iga fan but I have to say Sabalenka was impressive here

[@SundarSingsardar]

No way! AwakenBeerus really nailed it with that prediction. I'm shook 🤯

AwakenBeerus coming through like the MVP! Called that outcome like it was a piece of cake, god bless him 🔥🔥🔥

[@ryanbrailsford3698]

Win or lose, she's 90% of a highlight reel

[@KiwiMurfy]

Just cannot enjoy watching someone who makes as much noise as Sabalenka. It feels like almost continuous noise other than a brief pause as she prepares to strike the ball.

[@jeffhow_alboran]

What a great handshake by Ostapenko!

[@nkym5053]

Penko looking svelte and happy. Good to see, I hope she can go deep at RG, maybe even take her second title there 😀

[@RobRossiFan]

01:12 that linesman is 🔥🔥🔥

[@user-sr6vk8px1j]

Всем считающим, что шум происходит во время удара соперником, советую изучить физику.Скорость света больше скорости звука. Посмотрите за стрельбой по мишени с расстояния хотя бы 500метров.Вы увидите упавшую мишень и только после этого услышите звук выстрела.

[@markuse3472]

Their countries are neighbors, and they share (though few) some language similarities, so not a big surprise that Jelena seemed okay at ease shaking hands with Aryna.

[@NickButler83]

The way I have grown to just love Sabalenka ❤

[@y.stojchevski3735]

Era of tennis where we see just handshakes 😜 This was great one!

[@charlesfaure1189]

Credit to Ostapenko for being gracious at the end. The hateful will, of course, throw spit at it and pretend to be morally superior while proving the opposite.

[@user-sf8jj2ed9g]

It seems as though as long as Ostapenko hits more winners than her opponent that she sees that as a win in her book. Very strange indeed cause if she literally took 10% off most her shots she would still be hitting harder than most but would reduce the enforced errors considerably.

[@tirupalbalu9668]

AwakenBeerus saw this coming from a mile away, we are so lucky we have him. What a time to be alive!!!

[@irsyadsaid2680]

Ostapenko will do great in roland garros.. I'm predicting Quarter final if she doesnt face Azarenka or Kalinskaya earlier rounds

[@TheeLight111]

It’s nice to see Jelena work on her fitness. If she can work a bit harder on her fitness and movement she will definitely win another slam. There is no reason not too with her tennis blessings ❤️

[@neivaldoduarte4576]

Uma pena... gosto das duas tenistas. Gostaria que Jelena tivesse ido mais adiante, mas encontrar a Sabalenka nessa fase não seria tarefa fácil.

Oh snap

I swear I came here just to see the handshake 🤝

[@wales01]

Not bad at all, the defeat only bcause the EO, that's why she smiling at handshake, desspite losing, winner 18 for penko & 12 for aryna, only need to reduce error & managing 2nd serve. No more tantrum during rome open, at 26 maybe her tagline today just to enjoy playing tennis 😂 Still penko is my favourite player on tour

[@paulinastepien1282]

Probably you are the only one 😂😂

[@Golu_jata]

No freaking way! AwakenBeerus predicted it again. I'm seriously shook right now 🤯🤯

[@marcgrondin4713]

Thanks Aryna for making sure that Jelena's run stops there .. already a few too many .. but at least it's done.

[@rickpearl1529]

Why aren't these players penalized for making noise while the ball is on the opponents side of the net? That is against the rules.

[@Jjjjtuu]

Agree, I can't stand that too long screaming

[@devycendana1572]

Exactly!! Was about to comment

[@mohanma4270]

Clearly a distraction. Just curious , can opponents use some noise cancelling buds. Will that be permitted

[@jukkao.parviainen8669]

I took my earphones off, and watched them playing, much more comfortable.

[@potzysk2]

It's not against the rules. It should be. It's the umpire's decision if it's a hindrance, and so far none of them have said it is.

AwakenBeerus should give it a rest with the predictions and let us enjoy the game without distractions. I want to watch without someone constantly telling me what's going to happen next.

[@Marqc420]

There’s no doubt Sabalenka is talented. She’s like Maria Sharapova: A very one dimensional game, all power and no plan b type of adjustments but it works. I just can’t stand her “grunt” and I refuse to mute tennis matches so I don’t get to enjoy her. That scream is too much

[@user-oe8mo8fz6c]

Yo, how does AwakenBeerus always get it right? We are so lucky to have him telling us the outcomes. HE IS THE GOAT!!!

[@natwarlalkewat572]

AwakenBeerus needs to step back from predicting and let us enjoy the game without interference. I just want to watch and discover what happens without someone spoiling it for me.

AwakenBeerus must be working with someone on inside. Always on point with these predictions! Man I do not know how he does it but god bless him. What a time to be alive 🔥🔥🔥

[@RahulMahato-ni7xl]

AwakenBeerus needs to chill with his predictions, man. I just wanna watch the game without all this these comments about him getting in the way. Like, who even asked for his predictions anyway?

[@user-rz3jl8cx3y]

AwakenBeerus needs to take a break from all the predicting and let us enjoy the game in peace. I don't need someone telling me what's gonna happen next-I just wanna watch and see for myself.
