Rybakina is in her best shape. She is very talented, calm, and accurate both her forehand and backhand are damaging to the opponent. Congratulations to Ryb akina.
@@AI-wc3rp her mention of bad luck is not about the match but about the draw, so nothing really to harp about as Pliskova is indeed unlucky in that regard. Compare that with Sabalenka having to face a qualifier she could bagel easily.
Rybakina is so good. So measured, knowing when to ease up and take her time, when to press by taking on the rise and rushing her opponents. Always just cool, calm and collected. Economy of effort and motion.
Rybakina is my kind of player : no drama, no complaints of any kind, no emotions shown, no stupid grunting complete control of herself and as devastating as you can be on a tennis court, she is my pick for AO 2024.
Elena stole the first set with that point at 6-3, I don't know how many players can do that shot, it was an amazing reach and Elena is really good under pressure
She actually would have gotten to it sooner but she was ready to hit a deeper rally ball and then had to quickly change her stance to chase after the net cord bounce. She needs to use her speed more in matches, she is not slow at all like people think .
@@westonmeyer3110 definitely not slow, she moves very well for her height, she is probably the fastest 180+ player with Sabalenka, well Elena is 184 or 85 I think players taller than 180 tend to be slow, Ajla is 180 and moves well but beyond 180 not many are fast
@@dandresaldi Sabalenka is of a completely different build that allows for more easy speed but I definitely think Rybakina could outrun her. I think Rybakina could even outrun Iga if she really needed to. Rybakina is just not used to playing fast paced tennis zipping around the court but she is moving towards that direction as she adapts to play smaller quicker players. I really want to see how she plays Kasatkina now with a more movement and variety based game than last time in Canada. She will never have the ridiculous speed of Gauff but if she learns to play while sprinting on both offense and defense she will still be impossible to beat when she combines that with her serve and mental toughness.
@@westonmeyer3110 I agree, Elena is seen as a serve bot by some but she can do everything, great hands, good speed, good under pressure, always cool, smart, I would love to se her become #1 at some point
@@westonmeyer3110 the courts in Canada play so much slower than those in the Australian Open plus that match was played late at night in a very cool environment so the conditions were favorable to Kasatkina not to Rybakina. If they were to meet in the 4th round, I expect Elena to win in straight sets, especially if the conditions become warmer.
Karolina was defending her points from last year’s AO QF appearance. Once AO is finished, she will be placed 60+ somewhere she has not been for more than 10 years. She will need to play qualification to get into the two 1000 tournaments in the mid east in February. It was a bad draw - missed seeding by 1 and got drawn No. 3 in R1.
@@westonmeyer3110 Only 2 tournaments at the beginning of 2023 when her then ranking of early 30s meant she just missed the main draw of 500 tournaments with 32 players field.
Man Elena looking good against the former number one. So efficient and powerful. In the future it would be nice to see her add some cheeky moves like surprise dropshots but that's not part of her identity right now. I did hear a "vamos!"?? So, you never know she may come out of her shell. Love her.
her net play is progreesing more than her footwork nut nevertheless this is the kind of evolution i really like to see from her, Ryba will be unstoppable when she reaches her peak
Love that Pliskova knew how good Rybakina is at closing matches with an ace and was prepared to avoid 2 of them at the T with good enough returns just to keep the ball on play.
Exelente baby, te felicito, ha Sido un gran comienzo, sin embargo debes tener mucho cuidado, vendrán partidos más difíciles, concéntrate y recuerda, más flexibilidad. Te amo baby, vas a triunfar en este torneo, descansa y analiza algunas jugadas para corregir.
@@danielsanhueza6067 And if fate had not smiled at the last moment in their match with Mexico, when the Argentina team had already set up suitcases ... They could not even leave the group tournament! I’ll say what: Messi and Argentina’s team at the last World Cup literally won the lottery. But Messi certainly deserved his luck.
Elena has gotten a bit taller! When they first played and they stood next to each other she was slightly shorter. She’s probably 6’ 1 1/2” or so up from 6’!!! Love both but Elena is my favorite on the WTA!
I enjoy tennis, we all love sports. You like the action and passion in these matches and events. Tennis is a good sport and all of the tennis supporters enjoy tennis. Enjoy the 2024 Australian Open and every tennis pro player who plays in this tournament this year. Vamos ladies! Vamos Espana!
Rybakina CRUSHED Pliskova. Poor girl never even stood a chance in this match. Needs to go back to the drawing board, she cant even compete with the power of Rybakina.
@@westonmeyer3110 easily is a stretch. She’s never even dropped a set against Pliskova. And for the latter part of the year she was injured. The beginning of the year she was injury-free and played okay
Karolina should have the first set. She was 6:3 in tiebreak. However, Elana wants to move up to #2 in WTA, doesn't she? Well, with that performance, she may?
@@vechris2001 they are both clean ball strikers but Rybakina moves twice as well for her size and is an all-court player. Davenport is only very good on fast courts.

Elena looks like she worked on her movement. Much more fluid than before.
and better volleys too

She’s trimmer, therefore lighter, stronger and has more endurance which is why she’s going after balls like never before.

Rybakina needs to start her matches at full speed!
Exactly...she needs speed with agility
@@vigneshsk3730 I don’t think that’s what they meant lol

Good as Elena is, Pliskova is not bad at all. Only a few points difference between them.

This was a great match to show the field you can grind out matches too

best women's match so far this year
Well done Elena ! ❤

Great serving! Clean ballstriking.

Pliskova's outfit is so beautiful, well done Addidas , comparing to Pegula's outfit for uso was so gaudy
Pliskova has several set points in set 1.. if she has won it, could've change the outcome entirely
Rybakina had 3 set points before the tiebreak, she should have never played a tiebreak there.

Great match 😊
Love her, she's amazing
I like Rybakina. Less emotions and more play..
Great match. Though I wish Pliskova would have won, this was a great match by Rybakina. ❤
Battle of the legs

Muy bien, ganó mi osita rusa Elena

In my language we have the perfect word to describe rybakina: plena!
Pliskova really out here defeating herself.
5:47 what did she say now????
How are these two meeting so early? Pliskova must have dropped badly in the rankings over the last year.
That but Rybakina got a similar draw first round us open too. Kostyuk
And now she has dropped even more.
This was Pliskova’s best tournament last year getting to the quarterfinals
가자 우승하러~~~~
Two silent players just playing their game
Idol Rybakina
5:45?
Wow.. fila dropped pliskova.. and she's now woth adidas.. guess im gona start buying adidas now...
Rapaz plistikova teve muita chance de ganhar o tie-break no primeiro set e não fez rybakina matou a parada
Like both players. Too bad they had to meet at the first round.
How could Pliskova lose 1st set? She must close a set or match when she has a chance against top players.
How could Rybakina not win in the last game of the first set when she had three set points?
Rybakina the new version of Davenport ❤❤❤
Nothing is similar to Davenport. She is entirely from a different planet.

Rybakina had more set points
BORING PLIS USED TO B RYB THE NEWER VERSION OF PLIS
I don't think so. Rybakina has better movement and all around game. Maybe same in mannerisms
O traje de Rybakina combinou com sua bandeira 😂
PERO SU NACIONALIDAD LA HACE BELLA , HERMOSA
Unfortunately, Pliskova can't move that well on court. It's like she's a lazy player.
Pliskova is slow and has no intencity.
