Once Sabalenka stepped up in the last two sets she clearly had the edge in most of the rallies though. She also leads the H2H by some margin. IMO Sabalenka's movement and her ability to go down the line is what makes the difference
The head-to-head is less relevant because 3 of the 5 meetings were before Rybakina became the player she now is (Same for Sabalenka, of course, but that's less extreme) they are 1 and 1 since they both got to the top! But yes, like you say, once Sabalenka stepped it up she had too much. It was similar to yesterdays match in a lot of ways. Rybakina has this killer serve and return but once the ball is in play she is nowhere near aggressive enough and her patterns of play are far too predictable.Once Sabalenka stepped up in the last two sets she clearly had the edge in most of the rallies though.

Sab just missed a drop shot (last game). What's the point of being almost on the verge of tears because she missed it?Well that's true of both of themShe at least has achieved a consistency at the slams not seen since before Serena was a mother.

LolWhere does Wimbie find these uh, 'specimens' they call linespersons? Are they worth their weight in gold?
Is that how they judge their abilities and screen them for their eligibility?
Seriously. Some of them could stop a Mack truck dead in its tracks!
