Iga Swiatek vs. Elena Rybakina | 2024 Stuttgart Semifinal | WTA Match Highlights 

Très bien dit Bravo pour Rybakina 🎾

Was beautiful tennis to watch 👌🏽

Elena The best

@@freefire-zq9oj bravo a toi aussi

insult?

What record? It’s 4;2 not 8:1

@@remek5758 clown, record against No 1 player. I didn't say Iga foolish

​@@remek5758You need brain 🧠 Zombie 🤬

@remek5758 if i am not mistaken, it's 5:1 against world number 1.

That is true. Iga could never have anything close to this because for most of her career Barty was #1, and she could never beat Barty. The only #1 that Iga has beaten was Sabalenka at the WTA finals

Oui j’espère elle gagnera la finale

Yes. But Iga is STILL numero uno. 👩🎾🆗

her class was never the problem, her lack of level at slams is the issue. like Ostapenko, beating Iga doesnt mean anything when player doesnt keep adding to slams

In last 5 slams Iga won 1 hardly dominating is she ​@@deusexmachina9776

​@deusexmachina9776 well both of them have slams already... what u said sounded like they hadn't won slams at all and as if iga won 20

People like Rybakina usually don't show their emotions, but they are like a bomb inside. She's so skinny and have gastro problems, because her nerves "eating" her from inside. She wouldn't stay healthy for so long.

@@user-ie9fv1dj3d Are you Rybakina’s doctor? Look like you know her health issues!

Just a classy person, that will need a drivers license now for sure with her championship PRIZE.

@@user-ie9fv1dj3d

That's how it will be, because she is the REAL No. 1!!!

And she faded to the background while Queen Iga won Rome/Madrid/RG triple as 2nd one in history after Serena Williams. Real no.1 my ass. Iga with 5 WTA 1000, Finals and Slam atm, Rybakina without WTA 1000 since 60 weeks.

ФРАНСИЗКО.🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷

Rome 2023. Apparently, Ryba learned to beat Iga on the clay as well.

​@@LobsterFromMarsyep. It was also the last time before here, when Rybakina ever beaten Swiatek.

Head to Head 4/2... the End

@@longlifevibes8842 And?

​@longlifevibes8842 ... this was an unnecessary comment towards a person who congratulated Elena and happens to be from Poland... so do you hate Iga or are your prejudice against people from Poland? Cause that's the energy that this is giving. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Iga fought crazy hard, this was a fun match.

Zdecydowanie. Reprezentantka Kazachstanu zasłużyła na to zwycięstwo. Ale w porównaniu z wczorajszym meczem z Emmą Raducanu ten dzisiejszy mecz był strasznie nudny.

Best drop shot I would argue would be by Ons Jabeur.

Ons has the best drop shots and touch by a country mile but Elena is also superb in that department

Elena is a baseliner. Drop shots? Please share. Her net approach is solid. Ons touch is exquisite. Elena beating Iga on clay is crazy!!!!!

Her net play is really not that great

true, if Marta wins Elena can bully her easily since both will be exhausted. If Marketa wins and takes the first set she will win, Rybakina when tired in fianls doesnt put up a fight after losing the first set like in Miami both years, and Doha

It felt lime the AO semi between Aryna and Coco - you just must knew the winner was from that match. This match felt the same. No shade to the other semi, but this was TOP TIER.

Elena really wants to have passport for driving so I think and hope she fights till the end

​@@ivanhall6482 noo, that AO SF was lower standard than this one. We know Coco will lose

@@ivanhall6482 You said it. I commented my thoughts on this, your comment echos mine.

She hasn't won a Grand Slam since 2022.

At least she's won one, for many it is an unrealistic dream

True - she does need to win some slams otherwise these fabulous wins against Swiatek (the most dominant player of this generation) don't do much for her legacy!

That’s a bit harsh. The standard in the women’s game is at an extremely high level right now, anyone can beat anyone. EB has had an amazing season so far after having some health issues.

@@alistairsmith5389 I don't mean to knock Elena. She's one of my favorite players. I think she's talented enough to win 7-8 slams in her career and be up there with the likes of Venus or Henin. Just want her to do well. But even if she doesn't, she will always have Wimbledon. Slams are what tennis players are measured by, rightly or wrongly.

I wish Elena stepped a little more in the baseline in her return. She's capable with her first strike approach

@@24de5u-wy2ln For sure

I don't get what you mean. Rybakina plays to the center you mean, and makes Swiatek create attacks? Is it??

@@user-iy8tp7vw3x I have no idea know what that guy is saying either.

@@pawelfronczyk1579 Guess 35 weirdos know what he means 😂

The 2nd set was pretty even with one bad service game from Rybakina at the worst time. Iga was lucky to keep it as close as she did in the 1st and 3rd sets.

Collins beat rybakina at charleston wta championship.😢😊

@@lelet00738 c'mon. why are u trolling for Collins when she is not even involved in this match.

​@@lelet00738Iga lost to 18 year old kid in AO, clown

@@ernar8926 And Iga Swiatek defeated that kid in her next two meetings, you clown.

@@ernar8926 Iga Swiatek in Indiana Wells easily in straight sets destroyed and in Miami in three sets defeated that kid. Iga Swiatek have 3:1 H2H record against that kid, clown.

Congrats to Elena. Only saying that this is the fastest clay court. Next ones are going to be much slower. But let’s give the credit when it’s due. 🎉

​@@jukkao.parviainen8669finally someone with brains. Cheers

@@jukkao.parviainen8669 Slower clay will give her even more time to find her shots. It will hurt her serve a little bit but her defense will make up for it.

@@westonmeyer3110 Slow hard court in IW, what happened? Slower the court, the better for Iga’s kick serve (2nd serve) and for her topspin forehand. She can then have a full swing for her forehand. Also if the conditions are more natural, or catastrophic like in Cańcun, see who adopted herself to that. I don’t see tables turning on the normal clay. Now in Madrid it’s Saba vs Ryba earlier, let’s see which one comes through from that battle. Consistency is the name of the game, and from these three you can see who tops that one. So far. I mean congrats to Ryba for SF win, no excuses.

@@jukkao.parviainen8669 Rybakina was the defending champion of Indian Wells and couldn’t play after she dropped out of Dubai before the quarterfinal with illness. Rybakina probably would have won Indian Wells again if that didn’t happen and she definitely would have won Dubai. Slow hard courts like Indian Wells and Canada are ideal for Rybakina because she has more time but fast courts are also great for her serve(Brisbane showed that), while Miami just happens to be a fast hard court that starts after Rybakina is worn down but still in good enough form to make it deep so she doesn’t win the final. The US Open hard court swing should be very interesting if Rybakina doesn’t get sick or injured in Canada or Cincinnati because it is very similar to Miami and Indian Wells. Rybakina can win any tournament if she is fully healthy and at least playing somewhat decently because she can get broken to fall behind in a set and still usually get that break back while always having at least 2 or 3 untouchable service games that keep her in a close set. In terms of Rybakina playing Sabalenka, I will take Rybakina every time(she is beating Sabalenka in terms of sets won now in their head to head 11 to 10 despite Sabalenka having a 5-3 lead in matches because Rybakina always takes a set against Sabalenka). Even the Sabalenka that beat Rybakina handily after losing the 1st set in Australia would lose to this Rybakina because that Rybakina had never even won the 1st set against Sabalenka and now she has nearly double bageled her and Rybakina is consistently playing well in most matches now so the errors won’t save Sabalenka anymore.

Slowest surface - yes, but this court is said to be the fastest among the clay courts.

@@TurboBorsuk Rybakina said she finds it very slow and that she prefers Roland Garros in terms of speed and ball bounce

This is the fastest clay court, not the slowest. Hence the upper hand of big serve and flat hitting will disappear in the next clay tournaments. But let’s give the credit whenever it’s due. Congrats to Elena 🎉

This is the fastest clay court not the slowest, it’s indoors so it’s synthetic clay, it’s actually similar to a hard court so you’re wrong here ;)

@@jukkao.parviainen8669 Again, Rybakina said in an interview that she finds the court slower than Roland Garros. The absence of wind and humidity obviously helps big servers like Elena.

She is from Moscow

Mais Ouis, cest vrais Free

Je suis tout a fait d'accord avec vous.

that is incorrect, her drop shots were not working that much, her speed can still be exploited.

​@@deusexmachina9776And next to net she doesn't feel comfortable at all and with volleys.

​@@deusexmachina9776she is working on her drop shots. Right now it's 50/50 on drop shots for me. She did drop two lovely drop shots as well

Rybakina was very lucky match generally was very close and can go both sides . If Swiatek had had a better day, she would have taken advantage of many break points.

@@Introverder that's just not true at all. She isn't the best at the net but she's certainly proficient up there. She wouldn't have won Wimbledon if she wasn't.

Bla bla bla

@@bartoszbrozek5176 😂😂😂😂

Humble pie?? Lol iga is always humble. Don't wtf are you smoking

Yeah yeah yeah 😂😂😂😂

@@redeyexxx1841 - Iga and humble ?? Seriously her 'LETS GO" during the match in itself gives an air of arrogance and condescence!

Iga mainly humbled.

Lol

What a stupid comment. Besides it was quite close and average game with many unforced errors from both sides. What is truth is that Elena is difficult opponent for Iga and now lost on her favourite surface also (5-2 for Rybakina in H2H if we count one additional meeting).

Maybe you are. Its sport. You cant win everything👌 good luck to Elena

Rybakina's fans acrimonious as always... 🤷

🥲🤣😂😅🤣

@@pucella11she lost to Ostapenko as number 1 only once😅 so stop it already

@@pucella11 ☝️

She will not be any time soon and I doubt she ever be. She doesnt have what it takes to be world #1

​@@bartoszbrozek5176 well i personally see that she's got it. All the tennis world is saying that she's got everything to be #1, the only thing that is hindering her is the health issues that arise from time to time...

Elena improved her game at the net.

It's definetly nerve wrecking.

She's made it to 5 finals and it's only April. I wouldn't say she's soft on other players lol. That's more Ostapenko imo

They're 1-1 in 2024

@@orchidpanda2253 Iga was lucky to win Doha(her most dominant tournament and Rybakina still had her on the ropes in that 1st set), that win doesn’t really mean that much. This win was much more significant because both of them were fresh and it is on clay where Rybakina is slightly more shaky.

Iga 7 double faults is more representative of the quality of her serve ...

@@chay2033 Elena had 5 double faults also. So probably could say that both of them had some serving issues.

double faults could also indicate pressure from the returner. Rybakina attacks second serves so Iga started pushing and making more mistakes

@@STRAWYB Rybakina did have serve issues as well, especially in what she's capable of indeed. However, Iga's serve today was below wta average today. Not only she had 7 double faults , she basically had to battle with her serve to keep decent stats. She offered 20 break points against 13, yet only placed 57 % of her first serves to win her usual 65% first serve. Rybakina was at least capable to cover up with aces to win 70 % of her first serves.

Igas kick serve is not so efficient when playing Rybakina. That's one of the main factors here. She could potentially mix it up with a slice serve more. That kicker goes straight into Elena's striking zone.

Where you see trashing here?Review your language, it is not nesesery.

I always want Rybakina to win over her 😊😊😊

@@beata5731thrashing means beating her in the match. So it makes sense

"we" want iga to win?? Well, no, i never want her to win against any player... 😅

It means more like destroying her, which she didn't she just "beat her", he/she deliberately exaggerated. @kecleonboi

She doesn't deserve no 4, she is too good. No 1 by year end if healthy.

Yeah, but this is part of the sport. You need to be fit to win.

really dishonest, Rybakina wasnt injured after FO and didnt take her chances at W, USO and crashed out of AO. She had chances to win titles for the second hald of 2023 when Iga wasnt doing so well

If the grandma had moustache, she would be a grandpa.

Collins beat her at charleston wta champioship..😢

It’s so funny to see Iga have a mental hold over coco and sabalenka but rybakina is like hold my beer lol

@@KO-vv1oz Russian...who trust Russians...

These kryptonite comments are starting to get boring. EVERY player has a player (or more) that they don't like to play with. Even Rybakina and Sabalenka. For Sabalenka it's Donna Vekic, for Rybakina it can be Sabalenka (5-3 for Sabalenka) or Pegula (3-1 for Pegula) or Ekaterina Alexandrova (3-1 for Alexandrova) or Samsonova (4-1 for Samsonova) and so ooon. Stop this nonsense.

@@KO-vv1oz not always, playing 3 sets matches showing her weakness...

​@@nataliakrupinska925Rigid forehand and poor Serve .of Iga...if you understand Tennis Fluidity...And Champ is champ😊

Apparently, even Eli Ayase and Honoka Kousaka both also a big fan of Elena Rybakina.

Get out more. She's completely plain, boring looking and sounds drunk whence speaks..

To be fair, Iga beat herself you Russian Bot… check the statistics of the match 😉

@@---jm4cz I'm not a bot I actually watch the match and elena has more aces winners less errors and more points in total Ur the one who needs to check the stats and watch the match ur player lose just accept it

Ignore the blind Iga fan. We all know who dominated

​@@xirodspace' dominated ' delusional

Yep :)) on paper evryone has such potential :)) in trash talking

It's very simple :))) she just need to play a few dozen matches at a similar level :)

you clowns understand sports in general and that you can play one match of your life but you can't play like that in every match, that's why all players have fluctuations in form. Only a player whose level is much higher than the rest can win everything when he can beat anyone, even when he has a bad day . Bad days always happens because no one is a robot so no one manages to win everything

To be no. 1 Rybakina must win a very long marathon with Swiatek :))) not a sprint in one tournament :)))))))))

Rybakina found out Iga

No she doesn’t, she’s not consistent enough, wta is not 1 match but entire season, Swiatek is younger and way better

@@remek5758HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAHAH 🤡

У Рыбакиной свой и более качественный N° 1. Она честно одержала Победу, свою победу, показала силовой, техничный теннис , выдержку и силу воли. Всё то, чем не обладает Швёнтек. Молодец Елена! Так держать!

Younger yes better no​@remek5758

Всегда выигрывать в теннисе невозможно.

Also Iga is headed straight to Madrid and she will be tired and if she doesn’t get a favorable draw.. could be troublesome

Harasho.😅
