Her speech was so on-brand but we love it 😂😂😂😂

She was happy to retire having won a Master 1000. Some people like to retire at the top like Collins, others try to stick way beyond their time like Venus.

@@marianagaoka9687 Lol, Venus is a joke. They still give her wild cards and she loses the first round.

Even Henin, Sharapova, Capriati and Davenport did not win Miami

@@sonnix31so what? She still plays tennis better than about 100 other women in the world. Her legacy is so important and so valuable to the game. The doors she has opened and the opportunities she has created for untold numbers of minorities cannot be ignored. Why should she not receive wild cards when she is still a major public figure and tournament draw card? She can play and do whatever she wants for as long as she wants. It’s really not for you to cast judgement on that decision.

yes because shes like the few women who play consistently good and help the WTA

She (Collins) is a heteronarmative queen who wants to crank out some children and she is already 30 so she needs to have them (children) soon to avoid possible complications at an older age.

Everyone likes Rybakina

@@westonmeyer3110You bet. Elena's a lovely player with a great disposition. Congrats to Collins but I find her game so utterly boring and robotic, and she has a nasty showmanship streak. However, glad she finally won a big title even though it had to be against my favourite player out there.

@@ThePolskiteddy Collins boring? What?

Or maybe she is keeping it as a souvenir! 😅

Заслуженно победила! Молодец!❤

If she keeps on winning titles may be she won't retire this year.

@@ericchat5640she will retire, she stands by her decision regardless.

Exactly

I was happy when I first saw the length of the video then realized, oh, they just added the awards ceremony.

Yes exactly.. especially to include the speeches that no one is interested in which officials from the tournament

😂😂😂

Buzz off. Could be her last speech, she may not win again.

her groundstrokes particularly the backhand side WAS on song... It gave me chills just by watching her aggressive style of game today. There are not many who have managed to give ME such feeling in the past; Serena at her best so many times, Mauresmo at Wimbledon 2006,Venus in Wimbledon 2008, Sharapova at US OPen 2006 AO 2008 & Wta Stuttgart 2012, 2013 Indian Wells 2013, Petra at Wimbledon 2011 & 2014, Kerber at the AO 2016, and now this one.

Oh and Justine Henin in 2007 FO &Us Open as well.

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

For Danielle's sake of course. You could figure THAT out!

For our qween of Florida you peasant!

@@yogadr6 It’s her last season not last tournament

​@@jerd7859 elle prend sa retraite

@@jerd7859 It could be her last big title. You could have figured that out.

She was recently diagnosis with rheumatoid arthritis and she's on the highest end of the age range so I'm sure those have played into it.

She has this condition called rheumatoid arthritis. I don’t think , it hindered much her ability to play , but I bet it might be sometimes annoying for her . Plus , she briefly and indirectly expressed her desire to become a mom . Wtv she ultimately decide to do , I hope she’ll be happy and satisfied with her decision 🙂

She wants a family, so I don't blame her considering she's had injury problems over the years, and it'll be heavy on her body and arthritis to come back in her early 30s after having children. She's just playing like she's got nothing to lose now.

@@anonymous7851 oh dang thats tough I didn’t know

In this interview, she mentioned she wants to play many more finals with Rybakina so perhaps it's not the end yet of her career! ❤

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@joycew.6531😂🤣😂🤣

quality comment! well played :)

Agree...

Her speech at AO 2022 was even greater... Classy lady...

@@juancarlosprevostzarate7077 classy lol no, screaming during the match in tense moments to hinder rybakina

@@deusexmachina9776Not even 1/4 of Sabalenka, or Lostapenko. Rybakina has or her fans always finds an excuse why she chokes in the important matches.

@@jukkao.parviainen8669 where did i say rybakina lost because of collins screams? i pointed out collins screaming at crucial moments to disprove the claim that she is classy

She has arthritis and other health problems.

Tennis is very intense and I remember as Agnieszka Radwańska (career high no.2, Iga’s coach) retired at the age of 34 yrs old, she kept a few months pause and went back to the court to „warm up”. She said that her thighs were hurting so much that she regretted not to retire earlier.

​@@jukkao.parviainen8669Steffi graff also retired at age 28 or 29 while she was still making to the finals. Ash barty retired at the peak of her career. Nobody's serena williams or big 3 who are gonna play till 40

@@arslaanpasha3334 I mean that extra five years from 29 or 30 can make a big difference on your back, on your thighs. Swiatek played over 70 matches last season. You don’t want to have pains normal for 60 yrs old. So that’s why I am saying Collin’s decision is a good one.

@@jukkao.parviainen8669 Well whatever suits her

Wonder why. Probably cuz American have won 😊

Did you watch the highlight? The match highlight is only 5min long. The rest is the awards ceremony.

GIrl its tennis for like 4 min the rest is trophy presentation.

@@rtito7842this broadcaster 😂😅🤣😂

​@@rtito7842yeah long time no one wins 😂

Was thinking the exact same thing. Hope she skips the clay and is healthy for it.

Who cares she's still very young

Been saying it since last year her coach is toxic time for a change

Lots of ppl gave her chances against all those players. Stop with the lame cliche.

@@kevinlakeman5043 what "lame cliché"?

Wiped what floor? You probably watch this match facing backwards. Did this look like she dominated Rybakina to you? Rybakina gave her free points let her take that as her retirement fairytale run.

@@kevinlakeman5043 LOL Lots of people knew she had a chance!!!!...These people: are all rich now (IF THEY ARE BETTING FOLKS) because NO ONE....NO ONE gave Collins a chance

@@andehbridget1861 Right, Rybakina "let her win". I've heard that one before.

Best BH in tour right now period and best since Serena and Li Na

She hits a really good angle on her crosscourt backhand.

It’s crazy good

It has no weakness

Her backhand really insane

Elle gagnera pas RG non plus faut pas rêver

Going into clay season, she wont be told that she can beat anybody right now

Well she's retiring this year so basically she's *wringing the cloth dry* @ this point. Or in Layman's terms, She aint gat nothin to lose.

Saddly enough Luka Nardi not beat Tommy Paul after Novak. Just a great business here

If she plays with the handbrake off like it's last chance saloon,then maybe. I don't think she'll fare too well in the clay season though.

I feel exactly the same!❤

Same 💪

danielle played without fear knowing it's her last season! next year she will be in the commentary box - she has a touch of chris evert about her!! no doubt she will be rooting for elena then!

Sooo beautiful

Rybakina is great but she is one of those players for whom everything needs to be perfect to win big matches. She does not compete to win when she is not playing her best. Also her predictable play patterns need change and elvile if she really wants to win multiple grandslams ....

@Harris19941- Being ruthless is just not in Elena’s nature I’m afraid, it’s the one big flaw in her game and stops her winning multiple slams.

unfortunately, danielle has never played that level of tennis before & she will need to produce it if she wants to a grand slam! but she played very well & deserved her win!!

This part

Hopefully she reconsiders

One of most important reason why she is my favorite WTA player! Among other reasons... I was stunned when I saw her reaching SF in AO 2019 and she became my favorite player since

She has the best 1st serve in women's tennis and no one is even close. It's the rest of her game that are only slightly better than average which keeps her from winning matches quickly.

lol no rybakina has so many enforced errors, more than 40 and less than 30 winners

@@deusexmachina9776 lol yes. That’s what happened when you make her move side to side around the court . She has the tendency to become nervous and hit tones of ue. That’s one of her weaknesses .

@@deusexmachina9776 5:03 Don't try to make the loser be a winner because she made errors Lol 😂😂😂 This is sport ! If no mistake - never be a winner 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

@@chay2033 Rybakina has done better than this on the move for most of this year. The Rybakina that has to stay in the middle of the baseline to win matches is gone but in this tournament she didn’t know her limitations after being sick for so long so she played a little more conservative than she has in Brisbane and Abu Dhabi and Doha. Once she starts playing tournaments in succession again and starts practicing regularly again we will start to see the Rybakina that won Brisbane without dropping a set again.

@@deusexmachina9776 let me give you the exact numbers of winners/unforced errors for both: Collins- 24 winners, 37 UEs. Rybakina- 27 winners, 41 UEs. Therefore, Collins was at -13, and Rybakina was at -14. You're making it seem that Rybakina was playing very bad and Collins was playing very good. What this stat tells analysts is that Rybakina was trying to end points quickly more than Collins because she didn't have much energy in the tank. No disrespect intended to you.

Very pretty indeed. .

& body!!!

WTA can't afford 1080p, it seems.

It’s from Tennis Channel. Blame them.

This is one of the worse broadcaster !!!!

Her arthritis is likely to mean no, she won't reconsider, especially as she wants children too, but tennis players often regret retiring early, so it wouldn't surprise me if she decides to come back.
