They are friends.

They are close friends and they play doubles together

what flag is that?

@@monotyc6085 Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

I agree. Paula is playing very well! But she needs to stop the looks, the dropping of the shoulders, and all the negative body language. That kind of disposition bleeds your confidence in matches. When she trusts herself just a little more, regardless of the scoreboard -- or a shot that went wide -- she will experience her true potential! Feel proud Paula!

State the obvious

@@boomfifa4971 I state what I want.

Paula was so magnanimous in defeat.A class act.

They're doubles partners so...

Well said, those 2 matches at the olympics, I still can't forget them

@@KanatLS me too 😭😭😭

Rybakina 2023 has been a different player than before

And she’s only 23 years old.

Yes agreed.. it's not professional.

I also agree. Glad Elena won

@NR yes hope she takes the sunshine double.

She already won Wimbledon soooo

😂

🔥🔥🥵

Been watching her for years now I think I see many more titles coming from her. Media did not hype her when she won Wimbledon but they are now watching her.

@@STRAWYB I’m rooting for Rybakina to get to the final against Sabalenka for the second straight tournament. Rybakina is a Top 3 player along with Sabalenka and Swiatek although the best she can be even if she wins at Miami is No. 6. She needs to play better on Clay Courts if her rise in rankings is to continue.

@@RamZar50 yes I want her to take the sunshine double.

@@STRAWYB Because dumbass ATP/Wimbledon didn't give ranking points so she was still stuck in the top 30 despite having won Wimbledon.

Why is it all other sports are limiting testosterone levels in women’s categories but tennis allows levels ten times that of a biological female?

And just because that, she never gets that media attention she deserves.

Just like a Russian Robot ! ZERO PERSONALITY!

That's the making of a great player

Another level my foot. Actually Rybakina lost this match you idiot as Rybakina's shot at Badosa's match point was out. If you think that it was in, then you are clueless about tennis rules.

Love that she won. However, It would be nice if she could play more strategic and tactical. I am thinking about Carlos and his way of tactics and smart shots. Power is great , but unleashed it equals an error.

So glad that no one has responded to @einars dubrovskis for he's just a troll and should not be fed any attention.

Losing sets to mediocre players is not a good sign. When the clay season starts she is back to being no.20 anyway. Her tennis is very poor there.

Yes indeed

She is going to be #1 for sure 👍🏼

Yeah and 56UE😃

I feel for her

HER draw (oponents) ARE VERY BAD LUCK imagine your oponent is these queenbakina in round 2 : in the last 2 CONSECUTIVE TOURNAMENTS ,and i remembered that in the previous tournaments (i remembered various times this year (ludmisova and more) that who beats her in round 1 arrives through the final ,so bad luck clearly)

She’s far too emotionally up and down

Do not forget that Elena was not on her best day tho.

Hardly unlikely.

Agreed. It wasn't her best day.

She is mentally fickle. This time she just survived from MP.

Agree with your statement 100%. And I like how you said "Icey Queen" 👍From now on I will call Rybakina by this nickname. Thanks mate.

Great nickname! Never heard that.

Elena is looking very very good. I think the title is hers for sure

Отличный комментарий в сторону двух девушек , очень уважителен , но так как Елена из Казахстана болела за нее , и она победила !

Yes Indeed

Rybakina made like 60 unforced errors and Badosa can't make a ball toss to save her life lol. It was cool though

Mentally strongest? You are idiot. She needs Hawkeye mistakes to win against the likes of Kalinskaya and Badosa. Stop making me laugh. She is mentally weakest. She can't win against anyone unless she gets help either by Hawkeye or umpires.

​@@isaacramirez3659 but Elena also made around 60 winners, so it was balanced

She did 60 winners and 56 unforced errors 😮

Guy??

@@Rockyboy2106 girl

56 unenforce errors but she came up with 60 winners to balance it.

@@danlovesayu You're right (thumbs up👍) but realize that the she had more unforced errors than winners for much of the match, I think. This isn't a slam against Rybakina. It's amazing she had the mental toughness and stamina to outlast Badosa and end up with slightly more winners than unforced errors (and I wonder if she broke a personal record of number of winners...60 is an awful lot).

@@smurfette1509 i think her best was 49 winners in a game.

@@edgarmacabasa6682 Thanks for info🙂

and in the last set she wasnt bad ,but queenbakina was on fire

And still she cannot attract audience to the stadium because of how boring her personality and tennis are...

Wasn't far from heart attack 2😂😂

@@KanatLS at one point I could not watch because I was too nervous especially when she was serving. I just had to keep watching only the score. I was too worried. We watch these players and they become like people that we know. OMG.

​@STRAWYB that's why i love tennis, for all the heart attacks it's given me over the years😅

It's because she didn't get any ranking points for winning Wimbledon.

top 1

@@potzysk2 she’d have at least 5600 points if she received the Wimbledon points. Number 3.

If she gets mentally ruthless, her superior & graceful technique & power is above current WTA level.

Rybakina improved a lot this year. Iga is now no match to Rybakina even to Sabalenka. 🤭

lol iga now is no where close to rybakina I’m afraid

@@freakyfredy6597 They adapted to her and exploited her weaknesses. Rybakina is 23 and Sabalenka 24. Iga is 21. Last year, people joked that Sabalenka wouldn't ever get past her semi-final woes, and then she won AO this year after adapting her game. Great players can do that. Iga is definitely not as strong as either player right now, but she can adapt just as they did and potentially beat them again (she beat Sabalenka 3 times last year). I think she will. We'll see.

​@@postive-vibes this is exactly what she is doing now, adapting to Barbara, Sabalenka and Rybakina. Of course she has an injury but do not think she lies at home playing PS5 (or rather reading books 😉)

She has the heart of a warrior. On to the next match.

@@sinic1978 👍She is a warrior and she's become my favorite player. I wanted to see the Ben Shelton match but there was no way I was going to miss a Rybakina match and what a match tonight!

@@smurfette1509 fair weather fan.The flavor of the month girl.She will be a has been for the clay and grass season and you will be tooting another horn🎷📯🎺🎼🎵🎶

@@ynot7119 This comment makes no sense. I didn't address the "staying power" of Rybakina. I have no opinion on that but I will say given that you brought up an issue I didn't bring up I find it weird that you think Elena will just disappear on grass. Maybe, because I can't predict the future, but why would you say that given that she won Wimbledon last year? There's nothing wrong with being very impressed with a player that's caught my attention. There shouldn't be a requirement that they have to stick around at a very high level for a certain period of time before I can become a fan. She plays beautiful tennis, I love her composure and her mental and physical strength. Whatever happens in the future, no one can take away the amazing things she's already done in her career. Do you have any idea how few players win any Grand Slams, make it to the final of any Grand Slams, and win any WTA 1000s?

@@smurfette1509 Good comment. Elena actually said grass is one of her best surfaces and her Wimbledon victory supports that. She can also play well on clay (beat Serena 2 years ago in the third round) but can improve.

Hold your horses, she play good 3 months and you compare her to the greatest. Even now in tour is 10-15 active players which have better career

​@@LordFluffymort Why you jealous ?

@Rocky Morningstar Because Elena beat her favorite in 4 straight sets

So much bs about Elena - a few wins and she is the greatest! PATHETIC!
