Also interesting she just said her team.not vukovs name. She knows how the media is after that.
Congrats to my brother on the Rybateama
4 lost
Yes. I have some thoughts on her personality.
Out of curiosity why does Rybakina’s second slam mean more to you than her first at Wimbledon 2022? Like that one felt bigger than this?
I just don't know enough about her and her team to make any assumptions here, and I 100% don't know Elena and what is going on mentally here but it did seem odd to me that Elena has continued to be in the ice cold robot mode even after winning.
Some people are just like that. It's no big deal. Nikola Jokic is the same.
And luckily w 2022. With Russia. Flag, she won't be allowed that year
I think she may have mumbled “show me more money!!!!!” when she went up to her tennis federation dude after the championship point… lol
I listened to one of her interviews or press conferences and she said she definitely lost too many big finals in close matches in 2025, definitely learned from this and won't make the same mistakes again.
Why the Dubai move, tax?
You are really a special kind.
Sure.
Yeah, not an easy time for her. Still, I appreciate her maturity and ability to control herself and even make jokes during the speech.
You gonna give it to her, Rybakina may be in red hot form, but Sabalenka keeps making semis or finals in pretty much every tournament she enters. Rybakina will have some work to do if she wants to be the world no 1 this year, but it's definitely doable.
AO champion, just like last year, is the female tennis player who defeated the World No. 1 Sabalenka and No. 2 Swiatek.
Yes, she’s the most consistent player on tour and I’m her biggest fan on this forum but 3 slam runner ups from 5 slams. All where she choked and should have won (she was up 3-0 today, she was up in the Gauff match and Keys match too). That’s my point. She’s dominant but she’s not the best player on the day and that’s what a #1 should be.
Well she did choke though after she had 3:0 lead and then when she had a break point and made an unforced.
Reminds me of Sinner. He said he would change after uso.
I don't think it was her choking, Rybakina hit tons of winners. The margins were very slim.
Balanced, as all things should be.
Slam margin choke. Not as bad as some of her previous ones but losing 5 games in a row with her serve in those conditions is a bit on her.
She deserves this feeling after that less than ideal Wimbledon win.
I thought Sabalenka would win but am glad Elena won. What was wrong with Elena's Wimbledon win?
