By now I would say she is being consistent, AO final, IW semi, between those results there were some bad matches and and Injury but I think her focus are slams and 1000s, I think she will be a top 10 for a long time, she is becoming my favorite player
Elena is the real deal folks, destined to win many slams and my bet will be no.1 by the end of this year. Some people mature later to tennis and its only a matter of time..her all court game and especially her serve will make her a huge champion, just like Serena.
Thank you Tracy Austin for this very perceptive take on Elena Rybakina. In the Wimbledon 2023 quarter finals in which Elena lost to Ons Jabeur, you probably heard Martina Navratilova describe Elena's play during that match as 'predictable' - Martina was explaining why Ons was able, during extended rallies, to anticipate so well the placement of Elena's returns. However, since that time Elena's game seems to have further developed substantially, particularly (i) in adding many new strokes to her technical armoury (ii) in the greater variety of her ball placement during rallies and (iii) in preparedness to approach and play at the net. As you yourself also point out, Elena's form can be a little 'streaky' and in that regard Elena's aim to become a more consistent performer seems appropriate. Again, in the latter connection there is currently one technical aspect which one wonders about: Elena's second service. A good second service which will challenge the opponent is of course a holy grail for all tennis players. Nonetheless, one wonders whether if Elena was able to make a substantial improvement in this regard (say to reach the level of success on second service which Ashleigh Barty achieved) whether that might help to bring about the greater consistency to which you mention Elena aspires. If you think there might be something in this, one also wonders given Elena's developing skills at the game as well as her current strengths and preferred playing style, what that second service might, or should, look like.
My wife and I was waiting for Emma Ras to come out and practice, this girl was practicing on the court and after awhile I thought who is that she,s going to be around at the end of the tournament, anyway she won it..
Yo tengo buen olfato para las tenistas. Rybakina ha estado en mi radar desde que entro a senior en la WTA. Yo creo que es una muy buena tenista (quiza como Sabalenka). Pero no creo que tenga el nivel de Swiatek (a pesar de que le ha ganado dos veces esta temporada). Lo que he vista me indica que no tiene consistencia, lo que la frena.
For Elena, just a little more topspin on occasions is all that is needed. Less risky and more consistent. This is major reason Jabeur is successful, she uses spin wisely as a defense. Go Elena!
Elena Rybakina is destined for greatness.
She brings calm, cool, elegance and grace to the game... Drama things, noise are not her stuff
She's always cool and calm no matter what, no grunting no drama whatsoever.
Shes the best player at the moment!...smart beautiful graceful and humble...i love watching her play❤

Graceful and Beautiful at the same time, my fave ladies player.

Spot on, Tracy. Elena has problems finishing or closing like when she's a few point away from winning a set or match.
Yes I noticed that too
Healthy, unprocessed hair is beautiful.

Your rated by your trophys duh
*You're rated by your trophies.
Exactly! Well said…. it’s 🔥 or 🧊…
She is certainly one of the many good players to watch.
She is still building her game. Physically she is built to dominate the ladies game. Whether sooner or later , she is going to number one.
I am happy to see that someone like Tracy really gets it
Rybakina will surely win more slams.
She's always going to win slams period, can't match her power
I agree with Tracy and add that Rybakina is Gemini according to the horoscope and this explains her inconstancy, duality and variability. 😂😂😂
🇺🇸Yes😔
Shame on Wimbledon!😠
GODBLESS ELENA🙏
At the end of the day you are rated on the trophies you win so I don't think she's underrated at all.
She is thee next big thing Tracey..Wait & See" ⚡⚡⚡

*a major reason
How is Jauber more successful? 😂 Just because she's better ranked doesn't mean she's more successful.
Kind of obvious.
Tf pic on thumb is this? 😂 was she marrying or what?
Clickbait video, this was boring but Rybakina was too cute

Yes, she and I are very happy! ❤😂
*Was it at her wedding?
