She's gracious and dignified in both victory and defeat and a real breath of fresh air for women's tennis.

This is probably the best speech I have heard from a runner up... her composure is amazing

She says, "everybody was cheering for us," not for me, and this came to her very naturally.

New crowd favorite! What a composed eloquent lady.

Best sportsmanship love you Elena ♥️♥️♥️

She is destined to win more GS, a great ambassador of the sport. These two ladies will be contesting more titles for sure. Along with Iga.

Pure class. I will always root for this athlete.

Rybakina is absolutely lovely! She plays terrific, looks model-like and has a humble and likeable attitude. What more can you ask for? I love you Rybakina!!!❤

This is girl is tennis royalty in my opinion. She's an amazing player, great consistency, a good sport and a kind person.

Winning is not everything. I'm happy I could follow her. The kinda interviews you smile at. She's lovely and so articulate

Her graceful, powerful + smart game coupled with her super sweet personality makes her a great addition to tennis ‬❤❤ we Stan!!!

She would have looked the same if she had won. Always so composed

She is a breath of fresh air! Classy lady on and off the court! Great composure under pressure! What a great role model for our new generation! Congratulations dear Elena!!! You are an amazing young lady!

Rybakina is truly a class act and such a great role model for anyone wanting to achieve greatness without losing their values and mind! Her composure, discipline and humility are very inspiring.

she is our champion 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

Good luck for the next 3 GS of 2023 Elena !! 🤗

Even though she lost, she still won in the hearts of his fans. Big-hearted and has a commendable attitude on and off the court. I am confident that she is capable enough to add a grand slam title and continue to give great competition on the WTA tour and the best position in the world's top rankings.

So much class and humbleness in this young woman! She will winn many slams and become world nr 1 for sure.

I like how she talks very quickly and says what is needed. No other jargon

How can we not love Rybakina? She is just superb, on and off court. Wish her wins more GS in the future.

The winner of people’s hearts, Ice Queen !!!

Love u from South Africa Elena. U are a superb player. Thanks for playing such beautiful tennis. Stay as sweet as u are. 💓 💞💝

Our Ice Princess is so humble and I know she will win AO for sure. She put Australia Open Officials to shame for sideline her in smaller courts in the beginning of the tournament just because she was former Russian.

She gracious and the simple honest speech and appreciative of the audience who are here to cheer not for her but both players see how magnanimous is she and coming so close to winning. Is really a pleasure to watch every match she played and continue to watch her that make me worth living for as I hope to live long enough to see her winning and smiling disposition and gentle humility words cannot describe.

Agree with this statement. What a classy player. So excited to see more of her. Ryba is inspiring. 🙏❤️

I have just became a fan because of that speech

Елена ты лучшая! Удачного сезона! Много побед!🙋‍♂️🙏🇰🇿❤

Keep it up Champ, new fan here, since Wimbledon. Onwards and upwards 👏

She is our love champion🇰🇿❤️💯

pure class

A great player with lots of talent and grace

so likeable lady. Speaks so clearly and frank too.

A positive attitude by Elena👍🏻👍🏻. Well played.

Watch good players come and go for decades, and I have to admit that her composure on and off the field is a rare quality, she's special in that regard. Wish her a steady year in 2023 and many more to come.

I love how both girls were being kind and be friended each other and smiled the entire time. We don’t get to see this between players everyday. Usually, the loser just has an extremely disappointed face whilst congratulating his/her opponent. We need more people like Elena and Aryna!!! This brought a smile to my face. 🙂

When the President of your country is present to support you! That speaks volumes about the talent that this lady possesses.

She's the missing piece in women's tennis. A star player that has the aura to attract audience and make them come and watch her play. Wimbledon victory without points really affected her. Not anymore. Best wishes ahead Elena. May you win many grandslams and stay at the top for a long time 👍🏽

I was really impressed with Rybakina. Of course her tennis is amazing but more than that she is a superb role model for how to behave graciously yet focus 100% on the tennis. She played some unbelievable shots and I am certain she can continue to go from strength to strength. Her acceptance speech was exemplary for a player, no doubt disappointed at coming second. She deserves more grand slam wins and I am certain it will not be too long before we see her in the top spot.

Alles gute weiter so elena sie ist ein erfahrener Tennisspielerin einfach klasse phantastisch ein Champion

Elena you are so gracious and beautiful and that is why the fans, me included, love you so much...! You will win the trophy next year, I guarantee it...!

Love her so much!

Elena gorgeous congratulations both of u were great.

It is becoming common for the ladies battle to be more entertaining than the men’s. Great game played in the right spirit.

Love her

She is so likeable

SUCH GREAT HEART TO BE REACHED MORE HIGHER LEVELS👏❤️‍🔥👏...

Good luck elena....a classy girl....

Classy lady. Class tennis player.

She's a class act this one. Look forward to seeing Elena playing more throughout her career.

Красавица умница

I love Elena.

Such a nice young lady

I adore this champion for her amazing skill on the court & her humility off of the court. I am floored as to how the mainstream sports media and major tournament directors have treated this young woman. The overly negative criticism of her coach is outrageous. If my daughter was a ranked junior tennis player, I would pray that she models her game & behavior like Rybakina.

She is my fav player along with swiatek...her nature is what I like the most

Rybakina真的好可惜啊～😥 感覺就是第二盤後打的太保守了，如果再主動，強勢一點，結局一定不一樣啊～ 其實就差那麼一局，如果能守住，再接下來就一定能贏得勝利啊～ 所以請Rybakina 再接再厲，一定可以再贏更多大滿貫冠軍啊～💖 Rybakina Fighting ～💕

Love them both. Hapyy they each have a slam now. Next, Maria Sakkari!

One more person… She thanks him. ‘He's probably watching now’ I wonder who he is??😮😮😮😌

Elena muchas felicidades también jugaste excelente bendiciones, sigue preparándote ERE muy buena👏❤🌹😘💕🇩🇴

For her to take out Swiatek was bigger for me than Sabalenka getting her 1st grand slam though Sabalenka was in the making.

2:01 what a funny comment lol I love this woman so much, tennis should really promote her better because she is here to stay and make the sport grow! Go Elena ♥

Pretty player 🎾💗

Elena has character

I love all aspects of Rybakina , and also Sabalenka , very different , more emotional , but between the two there is also friendship as we can see ! 💞

WTA anybody can win...Rybakina is a great champion 🏆

Whats there to be surprised about ? She has already won a Wimbledon.

Beautiful ice princess. A bit sad she didn’t win

🥰🥰🥰🥰

Elena such a nice girl wish she had won, I alway thought she is a superior player than just hard hitting man

Good luck Elena r.❤️

Love Elena! I'm curious though who was that someone she thanked but was not there!😊

Beautiful

We need to loudly encourage the media to keep politics out of sports. As a father of an 8 year old daughter playing tennis, this young woman from Moscow is exactly how I would want my daughter to play, interact with others, and be on and off of the court. Much respect to Elena Rybakina's game but even more respect to the young woman she is. Great Aussie Open! I hope you have an amazing 2023. Someone's birthplace does not dictate her character. I am tired of the way the media and people in Tennis are treating these players born in Russia 🇷🇺 or Belarus 🇧🇾. Imagine if our athletes were removed from global competitions every time our nation declared war on someone. We would never see our US 🇺🇸 athletes perform. UK 🇬🇧 either.

An ambassador reborn as a tennis player 😊🥰

Rybakina ❤

1:45 who was she thanking at this point? it wasnt clear to me.

Rybakina said she needed to thank one more person for the pre-season and she was sure he was watching, but she did not say who. Does anyone know who she was referring to?

Gotta love her

Love you rybakina

❤

Любое Её выступление после... Это глоток Жизни ❤❤❤❤❤ в наш постоянный сероводород 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I love her

Charming

Am from uganda , am rating for u. Thanx

God blesse

She hoped for same results or even better... such humility act from this talended lady.

My Wonder woman lovely speech

I think we can all see areas for improvement in her game. I get the feeling she is already figuring out how to improve. She is going to be VERY VERY good. For years to come.

🥇🎾💐❤️😘

it really was a look on arynas face that she felt bad that elena lost. if i didn’t know better. but i have a hunch they are friends..

🇰🇿 and Eastern Europe FOREVER 😌

Rybakina will rank very high

Рыба - ты лучшая!

Hopefully she'll win more Slams. It was sad to see her be so passive in the rallies when normally she hits confidently side to side. Sabalenka played great though. But with Rybakina her clutch serves, had she played the rallies better and hit better 2nd serve returns maybe she could have broken and somehow win this match against a strong Sabalenka.

My only love

I think swaitek, Aryna, Coco and Elena are going to rule the tennis court for the next 10 years😅

She had Emma Raducanu have the smooth and best serve.

Well , there's 3 minutes of my life I wont get back... A speech I've heard a thousand times.

Isn't she way more mature than she looks!

Без поражений нет побед.

who is the president Khazajastan ? Borat?
