I wanna give applause and respect to Qinwen for a really good display in this tournament, nothing to be ashamed of losing to Sabalenka, I did kinda expect it, had a little Stake bet on Aryna just because of how strong of a player she is. Now I wanna give a huge congratulations to Sabalenka for winning this tourney for the third consecutive time, she is my favorite player right now for sure. And for anyone saying woman tennis is boring, watch this game! and be quiet 😁
Well women's tennis is more boring than men's but this one was entertaining for sure. Most other matches are usually a lot more boring though.
WTA STOP showing the player box or crowd after every single matchpoint, we want to see the reactions and players handshakes!!! This drives me crazy for years
They're so frustrating. American media never seem to have an intuitive sense of occasion.
@@saffanna725 American media?
@@potzysk2 Yes, that covers the WTA, no? And all other US media that broadcast tennis matches.
Thats absolutely true, the handshake at the net is one of the most important highlight in a match and they are just ruining it....
@@TIGER-xl7xg They cut away from important "face time" and emotional cues all the time - and don't get me started on the race to the ads.
a counter proof for those who think women's tennis is boring.. also love the crowd
Don't mind them. There's nothing boring about women's tennis. Some people are just hung up on nostalgia. There's incredible depth in women's tennis.
@@kofipokuantwi-boateng5446agreed
The crowd was absolutely disrespectful!!!
Lol the crowd was dumb as fxxk🐵
❤❤❤❤❤
Actually the first time Qinwen has ever won a set against Sabalenka
Yea she improved a lot. Before this match Qinwen won only 13 games against Sabalenka in 3 matches. Today she doubled that to 26 games. Props to Qinwen for making it competitve this time around and grats to Sabalenka who won despite not playing her best today.
about time
where is puffs?
@@terry.lkm5992 Sabalenka was just a mess today, she should have finished it in 2...
Played terrible after she broke Zheng in second set
@@djordjenikolic9059 ... it happens when u cheat. it's ok.
3:32 point of the year for sure
For me that Muchova's points vs. Volynets is still the point of the year
No argument
Hands down. Male or female.
Absolutely
@@Maliilse75 Best Women's point yes, but not Male. not even close
What a spectacular final that was! Aryna rules in Wuhan. That's her third title here. She's unstoppable. Congratulations on becoming World No. 1 again!🎉🎉
It's premature for congrats. She isn't No. 1 yet, and she won't be until she or someone else takes out Iga at the WTA Finals.
@@alpinescope4441 That's correct. I thought she has overtaken Iga after her win in Wuhan but Iga is still in the lead.
@@alpinescope4441 I think she will be 28.10.2024 number 1. The points will be deducted before finals will start. maybe for one week maybe longer😅
@@kasiaxxx8141 Good thinking but that's not quite true. Officially the 52 week window cuts off on 11/4/2024, when Iga's WTA Finals points from last year would supposedly be taken off. But the WTA will not publish a new ranking while the WTA Finals is taking place, so the official ranking won't change until the WTA Finals ends on 11/09/24. (You can check this out on last year. There was not a new ranking published on 10/30/23 while the WTA Finals started on 10/29/23.)
@@alpinescope4441 I dont know, I heard in few places that ranking will change 28.10 and Sabalenka will be nr 1
I watched 20+ highlights just now... Feel exhausted. Both incredible players
Sabalenka in this match yet again proved why she is amongst top 2 world's best players. She played brilliantly. She was consistant when it mattered the most. She always believed in herself and her ability to win this match against home crowd favorite Quinwen Zheng. She played truly amazingly and fought hard and deservedly won this match and the tittle of this WTA1000 tournament. Congratulations Aryna Sabalenka on winning this match and tittle. Truly amazing feat for Sabalenka. She won this tournament for the third consecutive time and for the second consecutive time defended her Wuhan tittle. Sabalenka truly is unbeatable in Wuhan.
Sur dur elle est difficilement prenable 😅
Why's this written like it was made with ChatGPT... and what's your problem with umpires?
@@88kakashi88 I was thinking exactly the same, reads like CGPT lol
You need to tick the box "i am not a ROBOT" !!
@@88kakashi88 nah sounds more like broken English.
I've never seen Sabalenkas coach so animated. He's normally sitting there really cool and calm.
Qinwen has done a great job actually and improved a lot since the beginning of this year. She can definitely win the game if she can be more mentally prepared. Sabalenka was not winning easy this time. Proud of both them. Sabalenka is always amazing and love her personality. Congrats!
Why do you say Zheng needs more mental preparation? Also, she's on home turf, so I don't think it's much surprise she played better against Sabalenka this time.
@@nortexoidAs for the mental part. I don't understand why a lot of comments these days people are talking about mental toughness. It is just that SABALENKA is at a higher level.
Don't think that's the case here. At this point, Saba is a better player, as Pegula said, Saba is the best player on hardcourt at this moment. Zheng needs to continue to improve her game, that's all.
I think Zheng's mental game is actually part of strength, she's very good at problem solving and fighting from behind. Her issue came mostly from a game perspective. The deadly first serve fell apart in the third set, otherwise she could have maybe gotten it to 4-4 and used the momentum to cross the finish line. Her return game this year in general is not good, in fact, her return games won stat is less than 40% and lower than her 2023 stat. You just can't beat Sabalenka, who is probably the most aggressive player in the WTA right now, without a strong defensive game (like Coco in her first set in the semi finals or Muchova at the China Open, where they were able to handle her power and get the ball back while keeping her from getting into a dominant rhythm).
If she can work with a serve specialist to make the 1st serve more consistent, develop a stronger 2nd serve (Sabalenka herself worked with a specialist for just a few months to fix her serve) and improve her return game, she should be able to hang with anyone in the WTA.
@@notapplicable4283 Zheng's first serve win rate is the best in WTA, two years in a row. Her first serve fell apart in the 3rd set today mostly because Saba's return was too good, giving pressure to the server. Zheng didn't have a problem with her 1st serve when playing, say Paolini. In my view, She can't serve the same to Saba vs playing with Paolini. Zheng needs to develop more variety when her first serve is less better and finds a way around when her opponent's returns are good.
Wow - Queen of Wuhan. Almost the Queen of Madrid too this year. Let's hope she can win a 3rd straight AO to be the Queen there. Let's go Aryna 💪💪
banshee queen
Sabalenka has come a long way. She has really improved in the last 2 years. So happy for her.
Sabalenka and Iga will have to fight to finish the year as world number 1! The WTA finals promise to be very interesting
yup and Iga should be well rested so it be interesting
iga has chance as well as saba.. the rest 6 girls are too weak ...
Agreed
Now if only the WTA doesn’t F-UP the event for these women. They deserve the promotion, crowds, and attention.
If Sabalenka wants to be a year-end no. 1, then she has to win all 3 rounds in WTA Finals so she will get 750-625 = 125 points while Swiatek has to defend 1,500 points
Zheng gave quite a fight, impressive! 😮
Yeah, she quitre incorrectly fought with the line judge !!
@@robertmartin7594 Zheng is a brat pretending that the line judge got in the way, which the replay showed he was not even close to her.
NAVARRO WAS RIGHT.
Happy that Zheng qualified for the WTA finals. The line up last year was a bit lack luster but this year’s final has a bunch of heavy hitters. Excited to watch the ladies battle it out
There is two more tournaments. Who knows, maybe Emma will win 🏆 😅
@@kasiaxxx8141 Emma Navarro won't win anything, that ship has sailed.
She couldn't even make the WTA 125 Hiong Kong Final !!
QW has certainly improved a lot this year. No 1st serve today sadly. Congrats to Saby!
Congratulations on the title Sabalenka, love of a Brazilian fan! 🥹❤️
I had predicted Sabalenka in straight set, but Zheng was tough.
Holy cow Sab absolutely smothers her opponents. The only reason Zheng hung in there is because she's fast. Not many women could've chased down some of those missiles.
Lucky against gauff though
Muchova can play Sabalenka very well. Their H2H is 3-1 for Muchova. But other than her, it is always extremely hard for other players to beat Sabalenka. She's a beast💪🏻🐯
...and I can't forget Anisimova, also tough one for Sabalenka (5:2 for Anisimova)
@@marek0226 Even for Muchova it's hard to beat Aryna, that is why all those wins are in straight sets. Yet Aryna has beaten her in straight sets. 😂😂😂
3 consecutive titles in Wuhan is amazing......but still this tournament is toughest for Saba as she played lots of 3 set matches here
Great play by Sabalenka! Well deserved victory 🎉
Zheng leg injured all of a sudden? Why is Sabalenka screaming so much. Her screams are more intimidating that her shots. They really beee to look into that. She’s bawling before she makes full contact and follow through. That disrupt her opponents.
it is cheating
The players say it doesn't hinder them, so I believe them. They have no reason to lie.
I don't mind a quick grunt, but she's still finishing the tale end of her yell as the other player is playing their shot.
Of course, no hindrance. 🤔
Sabalenkas screaming is getting outrageous, every year she is louder....
It's absolutely terrible.
... we can complain all we want, but the spineless wta do nothing about it. for years! it is nothing short of cheating when the screaming is prolonged until opponent hits the ball. how is that fair?
@@squidjames7735they do nothing because players have already stated that it doesn't hinder them at all. The crowd loves it, its only couch viewer who complain, even then it's some of them. 😂
So enjoyable. What a battle from these two exceptionally talented humans.
"exceptionally talented humans"?? These are two people that had an enormous amount of help to get to where they are. They could never have done it alone and there are hundreds of thousands in the world that have never had the chance like these two have, who are also "exceptionally talented humans". Jeez, calm down!
@@57too Their talent is exactly why they are both in the final of a WTA 1000 event. I find that hard to argue with. Of course they have a team behind them, and perhaps I should have also mentioned them in my comment. I was posting a positive comment after watching the highlights of a sport I really enjoy watching, that's all.
And of course, it goes without saying that any human on this planet, with the correct level of mentoring and support can be exceptionally talented at whatever it is they choose to focus on - that's stating the obvious! But for the here and now we are watching two elite level athletes hitting a ball back and forth to one another.
I guess I should firstly apologise for taking pleasure and enjoyment from something, and secondly urge you to take a more measured response when replying to comments.
@3:33 Craziest from both players about to start! What a magnificent point!
ZHENG is finally competitive against Sabalenka at her 4th attempt. In her first 3 matches, she was throughly beaten. Finally, she is coming close. She did take 7 attempts to finally beat Swiatek at the Olympics. She works hard. Cheers to her coaches who brought her to this level. Coming close to her dream.
NOPE
@@57too ... yeap saba dude boi.
arynas matches are always so fun to watch .. imo shes the best player at the moment and the best thing to happen to the wta in a long time .. from looks to her funny goofy personality and her electric game she has real starpower 🔥
Congratulations champion Sab 👏👏👏👏 and well played too Zheng.
Sabalenka has a great game but why it is ok for her to still be letting out her grunt when the other player is about to hit the ball?
This has been asked a thousand times, but ‘tennis’ refuses to do anything about it. There are others doing it too. It ruins the match for me.
she is a CHEATER!!!
@@squidjames7735 like serena sharapova and nadal right ?
Congrats to both for playing a great game
we're in 2024 almost 2025 and WTA gives us still 720p is insane..
The Chinese crowd is extremely one sided. Though it's understandable for the home crowd but the few clapping really highlighted how bad they are. It's all about winning but not about the love of the sport. Kind of like Zheng's attitude toward the sport.
They were rude and nasty.
@@Maruman_man Wuhan gave the world COVID and is still concealing the TRUTH.
I've made sure never to buy anything "MADE IN CHINA" since then !!
@@Maruman_man NO THEY WEREN'T. THE FRENCH ON THE OTHER HAND
Exactly!
@@FamilyRUclipsTV-x6d YES THEY WERE.
THE FRENCH ARE ALSO TERRIBLE AT SPORTSMANSHIP, BUT ESPECIALLY CHINA WHICH IS BARON OF COMPASSION.
WTA should ban excessive screaming
Both players delivered awesome game and congratulations for both, especially Sabalenka!!!
The Point at 3-0 to Sabalenka Adv Zheng just wow. What a point, what a spectacle
Predictable result, well done Aryna, congratulations, you are the best. Qinwen was also good and courageous, she recovered after her usual start to the match, it is difficult to do better playing practically without a first serve, against Sabalenka it becomes a tough feat, leaving aside some naivety... unfortunately Qinwen in Ningbo will most likely find Muchova at her debut, who is also rested, another very difficult match.
宁波站钦文要么会选择退出，要么也不会在乎是否胜利了，只要休息够了把东京站打好就肯定可以进年终总决赛
I love watching Aryna Sabalenka
Nice effort from Zheng. Zheng has all the fire power and technique to beat Sabalenka.. it's all mental.
Nope, Zheng's mentality is great. She needs to sharpen her games, especially on hardcourts. Her game style works better on clay, but playing arguably the best player on hardcourt Saba, Zheng has to play faster and cut short some of her shots.
@@user-hm8nb5jr3w She's between a rock and a hard place with Iga and Aryna. Her game performs best on Hard and Clay Courts yet the two best WTA players of this era are Clay and Hard Court Queens and its clear right now she can't beat them on their best days.
There is still room for big improvements and time is on her side, after all Li Na didn't win a slam until her late 20s.
Did show Zheng screaming at the linesman when she lost a point. Poor guy got a earful at his face. Not good sportsmanship fr the queen
Which she has none and doesn’t care about. Shame on her being so disgusting at her home country and hometown. Now I believe Emma Navarro. Zheng doesn’t deserve respect as a competitor.
"Did show"? What's the timestamp?
For the whole game what i watched there's only one player screaming on the court and who is definitely not Zheng ! It's disgusting to make such rumor!
@@potzysk2 It’s only a non sense accusation!
@@clairey4358You clearly didn’t watch the match. Check the 7th game of the 3rd set (score was 30-15). Zheng did yell and get in the line judge’s face and even tried to blame him for her inability to save the point.
ERES LO MÁXIMO ARYNA, CON AFICIÓN EN CONTRA TE CORONASTE, EXCELENTE PARTIDO, MIL FELICIDADES 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
They cut away from the handshake.
I wanted to see if Zheng gave a poor sport hand shake like she has been doing.
NAVARRO WAS RIGHT.
What great tennis ssabalanka is the best lady’s tennis player she gives her everything wonderful to watch well done great player ❤❤
Shame the highlights always have to be crammed into just a few minutes as there was so much quality in the match to showcase. Great final from both and incredible couple of battles from Sabalenka in the SF and today in the final. She truly is the Queen of Wuhan.
Why didn’t they show the handshake? Was it frosty from Zheng again 😂 She’s always petty when she loses.. a couple of players have already highlighted that she has an attitude.
when u lose to a banshee, i would not shake hands too. cheater saba dude.
@@squidjames7735😂😂😂😂😂 it's okay, u will get over it.
should have seen the part where she got mad at the ball boy because she lied about him being in the way of her saving the ball when he was clearly not
Qinwen needs up a notch with angle and speed on return to battle Saba's sheer power. The Queen is getting there
A glimpse of hope for QW in the WTA final. Congrats to Sabalenka for 3rd time of Wuhan Open winner!
Zheng will get knocked out in the 1st round of the WTA Finals.
I can't wait to see her poor-sport-handshake after losing!!! 8^)
A great and entertaining match, such a fighter Sabalenka is, she always finds the way to win the important and pressure points, a true champion. I love to see a packed stadium watching and screaming for women's tennis.
3:32 This has got to be one of the best women's finals points this season.
3:32 That point should have ended more times than one. Incredible.
Aryna is just on fire this year. Absolutely fantastic. Make no mistake, Zheng has has a stellar season too! Definitely a contender at the top. If Rybakina comes back into action, I would say only she and Zheng can challenge Sabalenka and Swiatek judging by current performances.
It must be pretty intimidating to play Sabalenka... She's screaming throughout the match and hits really hard.
Sí, hay que salir a jugar con tapones en los oídos 😁😅. 💚🇪🇸
cheating throughout match
Zheng was able to counter Sabalenka's tremendous pace with some very smart play but it wasn't enough to win. Congratulations to both players for a great display 👏👏👏
“WTA, did you really deliberately cut out the handshake? It seemed like you had improved the post-production of the videos, but evidently, they are still done by people who don’t understand tennis.”
the live even didnt show the handshake, the camera cut away
It was the 'live' that cut away because the 'live' was a feed from China and they didn't want the world to see what a poor sport that Zheng is.
NAVARRO WAS RIGHT.
Qinwen needs to improve her serve consistency by 10%, and get back her 2023 return game where she similarly won about 10% more return games, and then this mountain can be overcome. The only way to get past Aryna is solid defense that can knock off her rhythm and pace like Muchova or first set Coco from yesterday.
Oh, is that right, couch-coach?
Her performance and skills are incredible, high-level athletes, gifted with natural athletic capabilities, she was born an elite mover ❤❤❤❤.
Australian+Cincinati+US Open winners defeat Paris Olympics Gold winners 😂
Sinner defeats Djokovic to win Shanghai title.
Sabalenka defeats Zheng to win Wuhan title.
Aryna’s all games are entertaining, she attacks even when she’s loosing. I love her style. She showed that she deserves being number 2 and number 1 again.
That is bruiser of a final, they literally b!tch slapped each other into submission, well done ladies, one of the best final I’ve seen in recent years.🎉
Sabalenka is a great player, but have to turn sound off to watch her.
Китаянка почти национальная героиня в теннисе, выиграв Олимпиаду в Париже. Она обыграла сильнейших теннисисток Мира, включая Свентек.
Джоковович только в Париже выиграл олимпийское золото, хотя столько титулов.
Sorry, the screaming lasts until the opponent is about to hit back. Not fair.
cheating
The players don't care amd have saod it doesn't affect them so it doesn't matter.
Spectators were not really fine with result haha
GREAT!!!
Congratulations Sabalenka you did it 👏 🙌 ❤️
Its critical for Qinwen to win a set again Sabalenka, which she did. That is an important breakthrough.
Sabalenka's returns are too powerful for Zheng.
I hope Qween Wen makes the WTA finals. She is now 7th in the race. Go girl.
I just want to see her continue losing.
Qinwen feels the pressure of an entire people, Asians have a different sense of defeat, I think it's the same for the Chinese
Or they are just strange… how can you also cheer that much for every single point, the not-Chinese opponent is making an error / fault?
Queen gave it all, it was incredible game from both, they give it all on every point, best person won, but no loser today, they both winner.❤🎉👌👍
La presion sobre Zheng fue enorme y creo que eso le afecto durante todo el partido. Sabalenka no tenia esa presion y pudo canalizar mejor su tenis a pesar de la gran inestabilidad que mostro.
Qinwen feels the pressure of an entire people, Asians have a different sense of defeat
There is nothing like two heavy hitters in a finals.
Que jogo incrível!🎉
this is what wta needs.
Sabalenka is no doubt a great player but her grunting, screaming are unnecessary and disrupting the games . She claims that’s how she breaths, that’s BS. Go to watch the ATP Shanghai men’s master final, it’ll show how a game can be beautifully played without those noise.
Заметил , что крики Соболенко , не нравятся одним и тем же подписчикам.Большинству , нравится игра Соболенко и на ее ворчание , не обращают внимания.Проводился опрос , среди теннисисток и они однозначно ответили , что кричат многие и на них /крики/ просто , не реагируют.Соболенко , приносит огромный доход ,WTA и применить какие-либо санкции , не посмеет, да и не будет.
Арина! Браво!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Somebody gotta have an answer for Sabalenka's power hitting.
What a match! Sabalenka just too good, but we have to keep an eye on Qinwen, she’s getting better and better with each fight.
Ps: I loved the Chinese crowd.
Zheng desperate attempted to unfaiyly blame the line's man for being in her way in that one point she lost in the third set. That was a cheap unsportsmanlike move, an utter disgrace, and it made me lose a lot of respect for her. Well done, Sabalenka!
Close to number one. 🎉🎉
Valiant effort from Queen Wen. I am happy for both players! Aryna has another feather in her cap which gives me a good feeling! 😜😜
Not sure why Qinwen won set 2 but highlights were 80% Sabalenka's winning points for the set.
Just listen to the Roar when Zheng took the 2nd set, Just listen to it.. How can you not love Tennis?
Wanted to see the handshake, the last time when the pair met was cold..
It was also cold this time. Zheng is never friendly when she loses lol
Sore loser. Why she won’t win.
SWIATEK became no 1 cause barty retired, sabalenka earned her rise to the no 1, ITS FACTS
Nope. Iga lost the no. 1 spot to Saba already once and regained it all by herself. Stop this crap.
@@kacperm6555 she never beat barty and would have NEVER become no 1 without barty retiring, thats the truth everybody knows that
I am not even a fan of Swiatek, but saying Swiatek became No.1 because Barty retired is completely bull crap. Swiatek has been No.1 for 122 weeks, what Saba has been doing during the 122 weeks? sleeping and let Switek to be No.1? stop this nonsense.
@@robertlukacek3934 Iga never played Barty when she was World No 1! They ONLY played twice! How can you claim that you know what would have happened had Barty not retired based on just two matches? Are you a fortune-teller? Don't be ridiculous.
But last year after US Open Sabalenka was nr 1 and after 8 weeks Iga took it back? 😅 Sabalenka got it with little help from Iga as well. Do you know Iga withdrew from 3 tournaments?? Or you are blind?☺️
Its not about match-up, its about consistency. That why Iga was nr 1 around 130 weeks.
She is a fighter congrats sabalenka more to come
Yay Sabalenka 😃 Congratulations
Where's the handshake?
你们为什么总是那么执着于握手的画面？
Congratulations! The crowd was very pro Zheng (not surprising) and she had to fight mentally to get the third set and keep calm.
Shanghai highlights: 1080p, 8 minute, 2 sets
Wuhan highlights: 720p, 5 minutes, 3 sets.

Such a victory from Aryna 👋👋👋👋👋 💪🧠🎾
Show the handshake properly ffs
There must be a channel solely dedicated for handshakes you can watch ffs !!
@@robertmartin7594 it feels better to see a handshake after you've
watched a match. Gives some perspective based on happenings in the match. No use watching a video of just random handshakes ffs.
Where can i watch the full match?
Cheng couldn't beat Sabalenka even with home court advantage. She's lucky that she even won the second set. Sabalenka overpowered Cheng, again.
Sabalenka too good n powerfull
Congrats to Sabalenka! If she will be able to defend her AO title, she will be a monster next season😮 only few like Coco Iga Elena can win with Aryna! And Muchova ofc
Zheng is capable to win but she need to mature a little not to just respond to power by power but use more trust and brain is game is very beautiful not just a hammer in her arms
Let's volume off.
So now Sabalenka is 806 points ahead in WTA Race which will be the same I guess as WTA ranking at the end of the year. If she goes and win Tokio, she'll get another 500 points making the gap 1306 points in WTA Race with 1500 points to get in Rijad BUT every match in group there gives at least 125 points. So Sabalenka just needs to go on court on 2 matches no matter the score to end year as Nr 1! ..
Knowing that she lost Nr 1 spot last year in WTA Finals I guess she'll go to Tokio to be certain before RIjad and secured at Nr 1 spot. Off course she doesn't have to win In Tokio but I guess is a fair chance of it.
If Aryna doesn't go to Tokio and will play only in Rijad then to be sure at Nr 1 spot she would need to win 3 group matches as I see point system. Getting a final in Rijad no matter what was done in the group (1,2,3 wins in the group) secures also the TOP spot.
