@@lucypedzinski1403 Looks are more subjective and many do find her attractive. Also, being exciting and/or drama filled is not always good. As for class, they are talking about sportsmanship. She is definitely above average compared to many players and has been regularly praised for how well she treats other players. If you want examples for comparison, look at her behavior compared to Putintseva or Ostapenko.
She wasn't at her best, or her worst ... Krejcikova played pretty well. It's only a game, and Elena walks away with $907,625 less tax. She'll be fine. 🙂 ... Hope she stays healthy and has more success this year.
OMG she is getting more beautiful by the week, she is stunning and very unique. I love her spirit and calm attitude. A beautiful human and a gorgeous woman.
Happy enough to hear her saying she felt positive throughout the tournament. The most important thing for her right now is to believe , feel and be confident about her better form recently.
With so many walkovers before, Elena Wimbledon performance is actually better than expected. We know you are a top player who can win any slam when you can play your best. But we don’t know whether health issues, mental strength or game plan against opponents that hinder you from playing your best. If you want to win another slam, you need to figure out these and become stronger. But I still like your game even you lose!!
Can this be the gold standard of how to present yourself when you lose. This is the prime example of what top players should model to others especially younger players. You are so classy. Wishing you the best for rest of 2024❤
@@lucypedzinski1403 Oh again, you already know about her sportsmanship from the previous question. You just hate her and think quiet people should go away and disappear.
No, not great. After the seeds above her lost she was the favourite having won 2 years ago. She had difficult and great opponents but you know what top tier players do, they find a way. Once things got difficult and Barbora started playing better resorted to garbage play and cost herself the match. Barbora was making alot of mistakes too and giving Elena chances to come back. She could not. Lost on her best surface after having good chance to make the final and even win the title again. She does not have enough titles and slam wins to be missing these opportunities. She is not in the same position as Swiatek or Alcaraz.
this isnt the mentality of someone who wins multiple slams, if getting to a semi is the bar of achievement then ok. if winning multiple slams is then this loss is unacceptable
Elena is so gracious. Am glad she can already see and feel the positives about her tournament. GL for the rest of the year Elena. Would love to see her win in NY and Paris. ❤
Yah because sometime,in the middle of tournament's she was sick or injured, these time,she reaches the semis, she still thinking of possetive outcome ..
Princesa ♥️ hermosa no llegates a la final 🤗pero para mi cm si hubieras llegado y ganado ?🙏esa manera y forma de ser no la tiene ninguna jugadora internacional solo tu princesa hermosa Dios te bdg mucho 🙌🙌 y sigas con buena salud para lo q sigue mi tenista favorita Ribaki ❤️❤❤
She have to adjust like Serena,when her serve is not working and win points, in rallys, especially moving and getting behind the ball ,to play the strokes properly, and reduce her unforced errors . Also she needs to practice to play the low bouncing ball on her back hand ,by bending and getting getting under the ball and stopping it from going into the net. She.Should make these adjustments for us open.
Watched her for the first time live - really sad, she should’ve won this one. A much more deserving, classy and composed player than Krejcikova. No nonsense, just grit and creativity. No stupid fist bumps after every point, no disgusting screams after every other point. What a deserving player she is, Elena, hope there more to come.
I was really gutted for her after this loss.Everything was going so smoothly and it all changed with that forehand miss.After that she became self conscious and started questioning everything decisive, which led to a lot of unforced errors.I hope Stefano works on her mentally to let go with this aspect of her game.After that Krejcikova started to utilise her doubles skills really affectively.Don't worry Ell Your gonna come back much stronger from this!❤
I am still gutted after the result and I can see that Lena is also very upset. She is right, the match was very close, Lena again failed to take advantage of the breakpoints. She only managed to break her 3 times, while having 9 attempts. Barbora broke her 4 times and that won her the match. I am not sure she will again have such a great shot at the Wimbledon title, because she is probably still the best on grass along the current crop of players.
Relax she will be back. 🙋🏼♂️ She has moments where she loses the plot a little bit and her entire game goes off but in particular swings at the forehand way too much unnecessarily which causes the ball to go way over the baseline.
Should have won more grand slams by now but always seems to find a way to lose. When they declared her favourite to win you just knew what would happen.....
Rybakina, your are a good player. You need to cut down on those unforced errors. Too many errors are depriving you of those tournament wins and grand slams. Frustrating to see those errors from you.
Elena Rybakina❤. You are the most charming player of this generation. We know you are the best player. Cool and composed as usual when talking to the press. It does not matter if you win or lose but tennis needs you for many many years.
she played the Wimbeldongvery good and was expected as favorit..then come abruptly the deep stall in last her game..and the plane falled...smiliar t to Zverev...
Same old pattern with her. She breezes through the first few rounds then tanks it by the quarters or semis. It's as if she doesn't want the title and all the hoopla that comes with it despite her quiet demeanor.
Love Elena, but she needs a plan B if her big serve isn't on point and her big power shots are going long or just out! As soon as that happens she often loses her timing and loses match! Barbora was smart and is the only player who can really disrupt Elena's rigid game with her variety of strokes and different pace of shots which really disrupt Elena's routine and timing. Elena gets into a zone and can stoppable, but if you disrupt her by slowing down the game or using slice she can suddenly start missing her shots! She should win at least 3 Wimbledon's during her career I believe though! ❤
Barbora played very well but Elena lost the match for principally 3 reasons. 1 - her 1st serve wasn't reliable and wasn't hitting the required spots. 2- She lacked energy and made it too easy for Barbora to hit winners by not pressing 3 - Her groundstrokes were too often long or wide. Given how hard she hits the ball, she depends on movement and muscle memory. For some reason there was an issue but let's be realistic, at this level it takes very little to change from winning comfortably to losing. For sure she needs to work on her movement and getting herself more fired up and work with a sports psychologist to find that balance of aggression and control. Very easy for us armchair players, but this is what is required to be a consistent champion.
Somber after big loss, but composed. She's usually stoic with a veneer of pleasantness. Never mean. Reserves most of her emotion for personal time when she's with family or out of the spotlight (example, these RUclips shorts with her sister or practicing tennis, you see humor and lightheartedness). This is jus tthe way she expresses her heart (= personality).
When she was winning the reporters kept harassing her with questions on her nationality. Looks like they are snickering underneath on job well done that she lost.
She's a beautiful giant of a girl who reminds me of Glumdalclitch from Gullivers Travels. I was thinking it would be funny to see her play the mighty midget Paolini in the final. I think Elena should get someone else to coach her rather than that guy who is always yelling at her.
Elena lost to a mediocre player. It was all on her racket. It shouldn't have even been close. Too many unforced errors, maybe from lack of focus, and too many first serves not in. And when her first serves were in, she was not hitting her spots. She was being too careful from frustration, I think, so she was serving almost down the middle, straight at her opponent, so all Barbora had to do was stick out her racket and stab at it to get the ball in play. Not even a full swing for return. It was very maddening to watch cuz I'm such a huge fan. Very frustrating. Take positives, Elena, but I know Stefano is gonna have plenty to say like this.
I find the conversation around Rybakina very interesting. I’m a big Coco Gauff fan and I am used to people criticizing every match and her technique even when she wins. But when it comes to Rybakina people put her on a pedestal and seemingly want to give her credentials I personally don’t feel like she’s earned. I think it’s because Rybakina beats Iga and Coco doesn’t but Coco has much more consistency especially in the grand slams hence her ranking being higher. Both ladies have the same amount of grand slams 1 and 1 title difference but separated by 5 years but the way they are spoken about is different.
Because Coco can't consistently beat top players. Look at her draw this tournament. Very easy first three rounds then the first difficult opponent and she gets spanked. It's easy to collect points for wta rankings when you get draws like that, so looking at rankings anime is flawed. It would help if Coco she could beat iga. The list of those is short so if Coco could do that it would go a long way. Ryb has at least a 500 record against the top players. She loses to typically the tournament winner. Also look at Coco's losses in the last 6 months. She's lucky to not have to play those type of players in the slams. If she did you would see her lose earlier but again the draw gods
@@user-dr5eh6xz2d totally inaccurate. Look at the last couple of grand slams, Coco has only lost to the winner with the exception of Emma at Wimbledon and this goes back a couple of years. RG losing to Iga 3 years in a row which no one has beat her there. Coco never has the easy draw because Iga is always in it. Emma was not an easy opponent and Coco cannot help that the seeds lost to qualifiers. If it were easy to get points, why are the others behind Coco? Why is Sabalenka falling in rankings? Why can’t Rybakina catch coco? If you’re doing to be a hater be factual and fair
@@Lederius18 her draws are typically easy in grand slams. You are proving my point. In GS she rarely runs into the kind of players that can beat her. If she played more players that were athletic and good at defense like kostyuk, siniakova, Navarro, she would lose more often and her ranking would be lower. Her draws are matchup favorable. I'm pointing to facts. Look at who she has lost to in the last 6 months. That shows the real truth of how beatable she is. It's short-sighted to only focus on grand slams when iga other top players are also winning wta 1000s
@@jukkao.parviainen8669 don't bother, Lucy has mentioned many times how she hates Elena and went after her looks, personality, demeanor, possible anger issues and temperament. No mention of her game. Just a despises her as a human being.
She wasn't mentally weak at all. Krejcikova played her very best to beat Elena by a very slim margin in three sets. Winning a grand slam is very difficult. Only six of the top 10 female players in the world even have 1 grand slam victory (and Elena is one of them). Only two have more than 1 (Sabalenka with 2 and Swiatek with 5, 4 of which are French Opens).
@@jameslee1062 Say as you please, she didn't step up while she had the chance, this means that she isn't a top, she's a very good player, a nice looking one, but not as good as Swiatek or Sabalenka, the only two champions currently in activity. Rybakina had a very good chance to reach them but failed. Eventually she will have another one anytime soon.
@@westonmeyer3110 she has one very significant advantage over her main rivals. Her tennis education only started at 18, before that she was training in groups, meaning that unlike her rivals her game is not rigid. You know it, I know it that if you have a coach training you at a very young age your game is 'fixed' making it very difficult to change to another style of playing. You look at Iga's serve. The technique is too rigid even with a new coach there's not much improvement. Rybakina's game even at this stage, she's 25, her game is still very 'flexible', she's not rigid. If there's one advice I can give her it's learn new techniques, stay healthy and set a real goal of tennis immortality. In 2028, she will be in absolute peak physical condition to make a run for a Golden Slam, all 4 Slams and Olympic gold in LA. Now if she succeeds her place in tennis history is beyond dispute.
@@sinic1978 Interesting, I did not know this only following her since last year. Not optimistic at all and I think she chokes in key moments but will see.
I love Elena but she’s very much a rhythm player and her victories rely heavily on getting good rhythm and momentum. Barbora is a feel and finesse player and more importantly a doubles player meaning she’s got excellent serve and returns. It was simply a bad matchup for Elena and their H2H explains it all. Tough one.
She takes defeat very well, giving her opponent credit and not searching for excuses. Nice person and great player.
So humble and beautiful - just wow! How you can't love this woman?

@@jameslee1062 Say as you please, she didn't step up while she had the chance, this means that she isn't a top, she's a very good player, a nice looking one, but not as good as Swiatek or Sabalenka, the only two champions currently in activity. Rybakina had a very good chance to reach them but failed. Eventually she will have another one anytime soon.
Someone has to tell her she did NOT play that well.
She needs to change her style of play if she wants another major.
For most players on the tour it's a career. For her it's a sport. Her game is just fine. She wins when she's serious about winning.

She could be so much more than she is if she really seriously worked on her movement and her skills at the net and her shots down low.
@@westonmeyer3110 she has one very significant advantage over her main rivals. Her tennis education only started at 18, before that she was training in groups, meaning that unlike her rivals her game is not rigid. You know it, I know it that if you have a coach training you at a very young age your game is 'fixed' making it very difficult to change to another style of playing. You look at Iga's serve. The technique is too rigid even with a new coach there's not much improvement. Rybakina's game even at this stage, she's 25, her game is still very 'flexible', she's not rigid. If there's one advice I can give her it's learn new techniques, stay healthy and set a real goal of tennis immortality. In 2028, she will be in absolute peak physical condition to make a run for a Golden Slam, all 4 Slams and Olympic gold in LA. Now if she succeeds her place in tennis history is beyond dispute.
@@sinic1978 Interesting, I did not know this only following her since last year. Not optimistic at all and I think she chokes in key moments but will see.
this match was hard to watch.
SINNEEEEEER my goddd !!! This girl was the "russian" you had to chose as a girlfriend !
Non Kalinkaskaya....😄
I love Elena but she’s very much a rhythm player and her victories rely heavily on getting good rhythm and momentum. Barbora is a feel and finesse player and more importantly a doubles player meaning she’s got excellent serve and returns. It was simply a bad matchup for Elena and their H2H explains it all. Tough one.
