Fi

We do know. The players, coaches and WTA spoke on it. He abused her. But @roysid and whoever want can play dumb.

mate you're just announcing the score while calling people dumb stop

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Great serve, championship point

 

[Hitman]

Those second serves will always be punished. Rybakina cannot afford second serves here.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

CP

 

[ibbi]

HUGE SERVE AT 30-30!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Elena Rybakina wins the 2026 Australian Open.

Well done Elena. Shes won her 2nd slam.

 

[Hitman]

Yes!!!!!!

 

[ductrung3993]

why the seater to BH from ad court every time?

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

And that’s it

 

[Jezza94]

Congratulations to Rybakina!

 

[ibbi]

LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Elena Rybakina gets her revenge from the loss 3 years ago against Sabalenka.

 

[AgassiSuperSlam11]

Sabalenka coming in to attack the 2nd served worked well on that point.

 

[Jezza94]

Back to back AO losses for Sabalenka.

 

[ibbi]

AND SHE'S AS STOIC AS WHEN SHE WON WIMBLEDON!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Here comes the fun trophy ceremony.

 

[MilosRaonicFan]

Seals it with an ace. Rybakina is way too good of a player to be a 1-Slam wonder.

 

[roysid]

All hail Vukov the Lord.

I am saying in a light hearted way.

 

[abmk]

Elena Rybakina wins the Australian Open 2026. Well done!

 

[Hitman]

That's one more win for the good guys!!!!

Rybakina finally a multi time slam champion!!!

Wins her last ten matches against top ten players, beats Sabalenka in the YEC final and the AO final.

Sabalenka, has now lost three of her last four slam finals

 

[AgassiSuperSlam11]

It didn't matter as Rybakina still won.

 

[Enceladus]

Elena did it!! She hit an ace on CP!

 

[RSJfan]

The grunting beast has been slayed.

 

[Terenigma]

That was such a muted celebration lol Congrats to Rybakina!

 

[Larry Duff]

Congratulations

 

[Service Ace]

lol love seeing Sabalenka choke.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Gotta question Sabalenka as #1. That’s her 3rd slam final loss in the last 5 slams.

2025 AO final loss to Keys
2025 RG final loss to Gauff
2026 AO final loss to Rybakina

 

[James P]

Seals it with an ace. Rybakina is way too good of a player to be a 1-Slam wonder.

Was thinking this earlier this week

 

[Nostradamus]

Even the stick can play well ,, Twice a year ??

"Once a year even the stick shoots" - Emotional Sabalenka takes dig at Rybakina after WTA Finals defeat​

 

[MichaelNadal]

Aryna has to accept that she’s not going to roll over everyone in slam finals. You have to be ready to struggle and fight and not get emotional and add even more pressure on yourself.

 

[tx10is]

congrats rybakina new koala bear or kangaroo patch?

more scar tissue for sabalenka

 

[bullfan]

Wow! Didn't see Rybakina coming back.... Sabs sure helped in that last set, after blowing her momentum

 

[tennis_pro]

GSM Rybakina. You have to say, she's the best player in the world right now.

 

[veelium]

Well played Rybakina!

Bit anticlimactic with Saba just losing 4 games in a row but good match overall, high level from both.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

A fantastic final, well done to both ladies. Kudos to Rybakina who should be a multi slam champ and now she is!

 

[MilosRaonicFan]

That was such a muted celebration lol Congrats to Rybakina!

Trademark Rybakina celebration. That was her going crazy by her standards if anything

 

[Hitman]

Aryna has to accept that she’s not going to roll over everyone in slam finals. You have to be ready to struggle and fight and not get emotional and add even more pressure on yourself.

You think after losing 50 percent of them, she would know that now. LOL

 

[Aussie Darcy]

I hope Rybakina keeps this up and doesn’t get Vukov’ed again. She’s one of the best in the sport and we know she can dominate. I hope it continues.

 

[ductrung3993]

Gotta question Sabalenka as #1. That’s her 3rd slam final loss in the last 5 slams.

2025 AO final loss to Keys
2025 RG final loss to Gauff
2026 AO final loss to Rybakina

...this guy
still better than "fans" on IG comments I guess

 

[cha cha]

Gotta question Sabalenka as #1. That’s her 3rd slam final loss in the last 5 slams.

2025 AO final loss to Keys
2025 RG final loss to Gauff
2026 AO final loss to Rybakina

Lol
This place

 

[Hitman]

This second slam was LONG overdue!

And first slam Rybakina has won that had Sabalenka in the draw.

 

[Martin J]

Served it out like a champ. Two FH screamers at crucial moments. I love her demeanor, no drama, no silly celebrations, just trying to be as efficient as possible...I really hope she capitalizes on this and continues with big titles. It's been a long time since her maiden Wimbledon.

 

[ductrung3993]

Well this will be the GS first tropy ceremony I've watched since Wimby 19 or AO 17 maybe

 

[MichaelNadal]

You think after losing 50 percent of them, she would know that now. LOL

Exactly, like girl…… it’s ok, it’s not going to be easy, keep your head on straight!

 

[roysid]

That's one more win for the good guys!!!!

Rybakina finally a multi time slam champion!!!

Wins her last ten matches against top ten players, beats Sabalenka in the YEC final and the AO final.

Sabalenka, has now lost three of her last four slam finals

What can she do if her opponent who looked like falling asleep suddenly got so charged that she had to win , else the punishment would be go to Russia and sell potatoes.
I bet in such cold it won't be fun over there

 

[cha cha]

Now the big questions come.
Where to go to smash the rackets?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

This second slam was LONG overdue!

And first slam Rybakina has won that had Sabalenka in the draw.

Oh that’s a fun stat. Forgot that Sabalenka was banned from that 2022 Wimbledon.

A great tournament for Elena.

 

[ductrung3993]

Who tf are you? You’ve been nowhere and now quoted me twice in 5 minutes. Kindly **** off.

Well just kept acting weird (also dumb and cocky at the same time) and wondered why you evoke "reaction" from people
