Notably, Elena's resiliency is directly connected with her inteligence and strict disciplinary manner..In addition, her temperament and concentration helps increase the probability of winning the match..She have developed a manner of thinking, behaving and reacting that helps her ability to control the direction and attention of her thoughts and focus on the primary task at hand..The combination of her mental and emotional components increases her competitive readiness in a supreme level.I have'nt seen any player of this magnitude..I think we are now witnessing the making of a supreme dominant player of our era. She is setting a high standard of sportmanship and conduct befitting competitor who reacted to victory and defeat graciously..An enjoyable and pleasurable atmosphere are always present whenever she's on and off the court..A role model player of our time..So, we have a lot to be excited about Elena's rise to the rank in the tennis wta..Thank you and congratulations on a well derserved victory and you may find the clear path for tennis paramountcy...INSPIRING!!

@stephanschoneberg3453 Жыл бұрын

Elena Rybakina simply outpowered Elise Mertens ... as expected. To be honest - Rybakina is better in almost every aspect, at least on hard court. Better serve, harder ground strokes. Maybe not at the net, but the point is mostly over if it comes to that. Rybakina needn't to play her best tennis today to win. The last two matches were trickier. Finally she managed to get through in two sets. For her target (must be winning the title) this is good news.
