Elena Rybakina vs. Aryna Sabalenka | 2024 Madrid Semifinal | WTA Match Highlights 

Oui moi je crois au double pr sabalenka

Them's friends!

​@@ricklee5845I don't think so. But obviously there is mutual respect and admiration.

@@apaarmaheshwari8673 they are personal friends. maybe not besties

If Saba would have lost the convo would not be fun. I love both though.

​@@networth00I think you didn't watch previous meetings of both..They are good friends only at the time of game they are serious.....

Wish she had an OnlyFans.

How can you like her looser attitude?

Like how do you know she is sweet? She always has a poker face and bearly talks. We don't know true Elena.

@enzoneable I just feel it in my heart. Her face talks by itself. She didn't even have a car. No driving licence at her age. She won her 1st car, a Porshe, after winning Stuttgart Open. So this is a girl who is not running after fame or show off. She's humble and modest at heart, and most of the crowd like that.

@@NJC2874 Barcelona Open? Not Stuttgart?;)

Wish only, it’s not even watch by 30k at the moment…

Jealous attitude runs The world​@@maxpol007

@@maxpol007 I will keep checking this thread and possibly report the numbers here to rally for this video.😀

see the live pages who can believe it is only a semifinal of a 1000 wta

those 2 remindes me of Djokovic and Nadal i love them both

True. 👍👍👍👍👍

lot of respect yes oooh how we need these 2 in wta !!!!!

@@user-re5fq5ew9w You are right. They mutually respect each other and are great friends and awesome fighters and athletes. Plus they are good looking and are very friendly.

They could give us both, but whoever runs that department is not a good person.

I don't watch WTA clips I call them "clips" not highlights I only come to read comments I don't know how you summarize a three set match that had a tiebreaker in 5 minutes. It's just makes no sense

One million dollar question , totally agree

One of lifes mysteries I guess.

Exactly. Plus they show 10 different slowmo angles of one point where they can squeeze in another couple of points

They/them

Stop it you’re kidding right? You can’t use these 2 players and say the entire WTA is consistent. And even these 2 aren’t that consistent. The only one is Iga really and I’m not even a Swaitek fan

I give you this one!

​@@phantomtroupe8430but top 4 ranked players performing well in every tournament that's what he is saying....but you need the remaining 5-15 ranked players to be consistent but it's not gonna happen.....

@@fileupload7553 but which top 4 players? because the only one I would truly call consistent is Swaitek and she’s only remained #1 so long because Sabalenka and Rybakina aren’t consistent enough to take it from her and I hope the 4th person you’re talking about isn’t Gauff because that’s debatable as well

the gauff erasure, but you're right! they def the top 3 right now

That missed volley on set point in 2nd set was brutal.

@@networth00 Right? 🥲

Oh cmon she didn’t do many mistakes she played rlly good. Saba was just better in the end

@@networth00 - Yep prior to that she had a easy put-away to go up 40-30 while serving for the 2nd set and missed it and next point missed an open court volley to hand Sabalenka the break to get even!

​@@thecookie0079she definitely did few crucial easy mistakes, Which legends never do.

Totally agree 🤩

Устала наша Рыбка

Your fish is always tired! Maybe she should swim in cleaner waters!!

@@lucypedzinski1403 не знаю, что ты видел, но она выиграла последний турнир, где Соболь вылетела на втором раунде! А тут дошла до полуфинала! Если ты её хейтер, не утруждайся, просто не пиши ничего

10% Will, 90% Leg strength

Swiatek, esp on clay. She is the Nadal of women's tennis on clay dude. Invincible! Cant w8 for the final!

Elena Rybakina choked - the ghost of Blinkova came back to haunt her in the tie-breaker.

Aryna raised her level

Rybakina is soft thats why she only has 1 slam. She can only beat Iga thats it.. now Iga beats the other girls easily and we have a boring final again. Rybakina is destroying womens tennis smh

Rybakina started to relax when she was serving for 3-1 in second set.

@@acreativiter She didn’t relax, Aryna raised her level

Best match of the tournament it has to be Sabalenka Collins or might be the final Swiatek Sabalenka, this one can not be as 1st set was too one sided.

😅Светек проиграла прошлогодний финал Мадрида Соболенко

Iga has no preference!

Of course she has a preference. One of them she has a winning record against and the other she doesn't.

Yes, agree, Rybakina is Iga’s kryptonite.

Both difficult for Iga

Two stupid errors that cost Ryba the victory.

This match was quite a lot of big hitting. Both women came to the net, but mostly just to finish points on short balls. Rybakina spiced in a couple drop shots, and she had a bit more variety overall I would say, but this was definitely a baseline war of attrition between two big servers. Seems you are trying to force it here, but that’s ok too. These Slavic girls are definitely multifaceted tennis players, even if this match wasn’t the best example of it.

I'm sorry but Davenports is also phenomenal on volleys, hence why She also got couple of doubles titles.

"forcing down new gen players with such an outdated label" .... How exactly are they being forced down? Makes no sense.

Lucky? She raised her level significantly and Elena was also playing great but in this match Aryna wanted it more and proved it by raising her level and winning the match. Very simple. 😊

I totally agree. This time it was pure luck.

Young? She looks Like 30 and moving Like 40

@@goodninja7019 Are they in their 30 or 40 or 50 women are young and beautiful yellow beak.

Especial for Penko

oh yes you think for moments they are friends but this Respect and gd intentions 2 gd hearts playing and despide the high level they embrace !

And her killer instinct.

She was gonna win if Aryna continued serving as horribly as she did in set 1, fortunately she increased her level significantly and served even better on the third set.

Totally agree. This match should have ended 6-1 6-4. Rybakina's errors in the deciding game are inexplicable. She played herself in this match and lost.

Finalde umarım Swiatek'e kaybeder, onun çığlıkları yüzünden maçlarını sessiz izliyorum. Swiatek'ten de çok haz etmiyorum ama Sabalenka karşısında kim olursa oncuyum.

​@@Turkbaa35anda al loquero 😅

@@Turkbaa35 Beni de rahatsiz ediyor Sabalenka'nin cigliklari. Bir cok tenisci vururken ses cikartiyor ancak Sabalenka'nin ki biraz abarti. Ancak ben ugradiklari haksizliklari ve kendilerine karsi uygulanan nefret eylemleri sebebiyle Belaruslu olan Sabalenka'yi Swiatek'e karsi tutuyorum.

@@Turkbaa35 Toplu taşıma araçlarında yolculuk ederken, Sabalenka'nın çığlıkları nedeniyle telefonun sesini ben de kısıyorum. Finalde Swiatek'i destekliyorum.

⁠@@Turkbaa35hala usanmadınız mı ya onun rakipleri rahatsız olmuyor. size mi kaldı onu eleştirmek

Ya that put away was a terrible blunder/miss by Rybakina and next point she missed another easy put away to hand Sabalenka the break right back!

her nerves!!!!!!!

hope Aryna will hold the trophy🙏

the final is always when Świątek plays🔥TOP1🔥

I see this in RG final

Didnt aged well

yeeesss absolutely

Rybakina was too exhausted and fatigued and couldn't keep up her high level and Sabalenka used it to her advantage.

​@@einarsd4Just like Aryna was serving horribly and was in general horrible in Brisbane and Rybakina took advantage.....

I look at the map and I see MINSK, and not MINSK-HERO-CITY...

only*?

@thecookie0079 Yes, because Sabalenka can hit the ball harder, while Rybakina cannot. Sabalenka is stronger physically, that's what gives her an edge to beat Rybakina.

"to win with Swiatek" ==> "to beat Swiatek". "loose" ==> "lose". Free English lesson.

​@@potzysk2Ha! Thanks! I was not only 100% right with my comment but also got a free English lesson! 😂🎉🎉

Yes...sad...

61 31 ….

It's wasn't who is mentally stronger and we all know that Rybakina mentally is way stronger than Sabalenka, it was who is more fresh and Sabalenka was the more fresh player, because of which she won.

​@@einarsd4nah Aryna was not fresh, every match she has played has been a three set battle except the Mirra match. She had spent waaaay more time on court than Elena, she was simply the better fighter in this match even thought she was behind in the first two sets.

@@nhlanhlamakhanya2285 Aryna Sabalenka was way more fresh than Rybakina. Rybakina won Stuttgart tournament and played 10 consecutive matches in 2 weeks while Sabalenka excited Stuttgart at early rounds.

Nothing depended on her in the first two sets. She played weakly and was just preparing for defeat, but Rybakina gave her a royal gift in the deciding game.

I don't know about fresh. I think that this match took a toll on her. Not sure if 1 rest day is enough to fully recover, I'm betting Iga will prevail in the final.

Go Iga!

Too sweet and too calm to be a tennis player.

WTF! Former wimbledon champ and the player with the most titles and finals this year is no good?

​@NN-zf7np No one is questioning her ability or talent. And her killer instinct or lack of thereof comes into play only when she plays Iga and Saba. It's similar to when Fed plays Rafa or Djokovic. His talent is good enough to beat the rest of the field, but when push comes to shove with Rafa/Djoko he has lost so many matches where he should have won, had he had the mentality of a street fighter. Rybakina is exactly in the same boat. Didn't you see the full match? It is Rybakinas for the taking.

​@@adipolidaона победила Сабу 6-0 6-3 недавно, победила Игу 6-3 3-6 6-3 в Штутгарте. Это не считается?

@adipolida you do realise she beat Iga and Sabalenka in 2 finals this year. She also complained of physical exhaustion this tournament. Given all of that it was amazing she got to semis and came so close to winning. She just saved 3 match points the previous match, being 5-2 down in the final set to win. I think she is quite strong mentally Sabalenka and Swiatek are multiple time GS champs and fighters. You will lose your share of matches against elite players like them. Btw she has a winning record and Swiatek and closing the gap with Sabalenka who used to be a bad matchup for her. People underestimate what Fed did against Djoko and Nadal. He was 6 years older ended up having nearly 40 wins against both of them. He won 6 out his last 7 matches against Nadal. Was 1 shot away from beating Djoko in the wimbledon final at a ripe old age of 38. I guess you have a more pessimistic view / glass being half empty POV. Both Nadal and Djoko are GOATs. I would say, if anything, there is no shame losing to those players, whilst having your own share of wins. Most courts are medium / medium slow, with only a couple being medium fast on tour. A slightly faster court, I would say a 38 year old Fed would have possibly had even more wins.

Speak for yourself. I think she's a jerk.
