barty is such a lovely player.. doesnt grunt.. doesnt do anything much on court but just play. doesnt distract her opponents.. no on court antics... she is the epitome of a great sportsman.
she is a very grounded person, comes from her indigenous upbringing. not a brat like others who have everything in front of them. she has done it the hard way, through the aus tennis ranks. kudos to her coaching team too!
I agree, and I love how she's not out there playing bang bang tennis like so many of the women do, she is able to change the pace, move the ball around, play the right spin, hit soft, hit hard, its magical
Is there anything not to like about Barty? She's just a good human being, no frills, no diva behaviour, no crazy stuff... The most gracious tennis player in a long long time...
I couldn't agree more. Not to mention the depth of her game -- speed, anticipation, and deceptive power. Some of those devastating serves and forehands just seem to come from nowhere -- it's only when the racket hits the ball does her power show itself.
@@lukewalker1051 Good point. She is already 25, Iga Swiatek is 20 yrs and won French Open Grand Slam on clay and she is so good already in this kind of fast court. Ash plays on her backyard.
It amazes me how people are only talking about Rybakina now, she’s been playing some great tennis for a long time. What people forget is that Iga may be number one but has never beaten Barty.
I’m looking forward to the ranking system fixing itself this year. Rybakina deserves to be ranked higher. She consistently performs highly in big tournaments and has been stuck where she is for too long.
Wide of the mark. Agreeing with her remarkable performance around the end of the previous season, criticizing the ranking system finds no base. Her better results give her more points to climb up the ranking, but that's not all. If higher ranked players mark the similar results as the preceding 52 weeks, there would be no margin for Rybakina to be ranked high. In this vein, poor performance by other players could push her up. Not straightforward at all.
@@footfault1941 I understand what you mean but I’m not talking about the system in general. I’m talking about the changes made because of COVID-19 where the 52-week system was temporarily abandoned. The same system that kept Federer in the top 10 of the atp rankings despite him playing no tennis for months. If Rybakina had the same results without the adjusted system, she wouldn’t have been stuck at 19/20 for months. Once the system has fully resettled, the rankings may reflect more accurately. It’s already better now that she’s made a sudden jump to #14.
@monty niranjan huh? She’s a two time major grand slam. She’s won titles on all the surfaces and she’s been number one for awhile now. Don’t disrespect Ash!
@monty niranjan well my original comment says I hope she can do this in the majors so I obviously know she needs to bring it there. But she is not a flash in the pan. As I said she’s won a lot of tournaments on different surfaces including two grand slams. I think it is only a matter of time before she win the others. Also those players you listed (Serena, Graff, etc) are legends so no shame Ash hasn’t gotten there yet.
@monty niranjan I see Kerber as having a higher ceiling than those players you mentioned. She’s not gonna disappear. As I said she’s a consistent winner on the tour, a two time grand slam winner and an overall threat anywhere she plays. She’s a highly skilled players that can play in a variety of ways. I expect her to win a lot more majors.
WTA this week has been so entertaining! This tournament has been amazing, so many good matches and seeing our players improving. Melbourne Summer Sets have been great to watch the rising stars too. Let's carry the good vibes to Sydney, because I'll be there! 🥳🤸🏼♂️
@@ianorcutt1645 compared to other atp players? i beg disagree. with all the racket smashing, coach and umprise trashtalking, grunts and the like. i still think he is 😅
"outmatched". Yes. She had to. This 22 yrs old Kazakhstan in good form can be a potential threat in 2022 season. So is Iga. Ash sent successfully her message there.
I don't think anyone in world can beat Barty right now ... Neither Simona nor Osaka..... Great respect to Barty , she is true world no 1 after Serena .... Barty has everything literally everything in her game.... Osaka has best serve and forehand while Simona has great defence but Barty is impeccable player at a moment ( serve, forehand, slice, touch, defence) just name it and she's is full package
In normal situations, Ash has the whole package, but there is always one player who is having the fortnight of their life (Raducanu and Fernandez at last US Open), they call it in the zone, and can beat Barty, Halep and others in a row. Also, it takes only one bad day to be out of AO for anyone. But I really hope Ash wins AO this time, I think she has way too few grand slam titles for such a great player.
What a great run for Barty: Gauff Kenin, Swiatek and now Rybakina. all of them fun, competitive matches, you can't complain about the level of competition. She takes a little off the ball but hitting them deep and/or in the corner with precision, just good stuff, I would love to have that mindset. Yep, she's #1 right now until further notice.
I think Elena has a bright future to win Grandslam, she looks like Dinara Safina but she is amazingly talented. hope he continues to improve and win a lot of Tours and will win Slams
Rybakina is one of the on form players, & a top 10 player soon to be. Merciless Barty. Her message is clear & serious. "Kiss my racket" This performance convinces & urges many to name who's going to be a queen in Melbourne!
Compliments to both ladies. In watching the matches this week, I thought the final was going to be closer but give Barty her credit, she keeps her consistency and has that big serve and is tough. Rybakina should feel good about this week, she's proved she has the tools, she just needs to keep the confidence going.
I can't see Barty winning AO, especially if she wins Sydney. Entering big events on long win-streaks rarely ends well. Even if she doesn't play Sydney or doesn't win, I feel she will always have a nervy loss at AO like she has the last two years.
There is no doubt that Elena has improved since this match but it's so interesting seeing how Ash managed to dissect and neutralise her much more powerful opponents. As an Aussie it was a bit disappointing to finally have a world #1 in the sport after so many years and have her retire so early, but, I respect it was the right decision for her and wish her nothing but the best.
heads up to the most genuine amazing beautiful and tennis beauty queen in the world... elena rybakina . take a bow. do not be ashamed... you are and will be a star. I hope so. But stay true and you will make it in the big time. Much love and respect.
Superb brilliant and intelligent play style of Ash, a wonderful person she is. A huge delight to watch and for tennis world to cherish and remember. Ash Barty is a very rare individual and a big asset for Australia, where I call home. Cheers !
At the moment, Ash Barty is truly the definition of unbeatable. Rybakina played really well but she didn't have any chances going up against the world no 1. She is the odds-on favorite to win the AO in front of the home crowd.
It's very difficult to get a player like barty because she comes across as a natural tennis player.. Her game awareness, her serve, forehand and most importantly slicing at the right time which the WTA players are not used to.. She looks so elegant with her game. A natural tennis player.... Such a shame she retired prematurely.. because hardly we come across such naturally gifted talent in WTA.
@monty niranjan B-b-but she is STILL at the top of women's tennis. She is still world no.1 for a reason. I get it, her game is not for everybody to enjoy but you cannot undermine her achievements just cause YOU don't like her style of play. She is gonna stay at the top for a looong time so deal with it!
@@doommonger7784 Sounds to me like Osaka & Serena are the wrong color for you since you brought race into the conversation! This forum is supposed to be about TENNIS 🤔
Huge respect to players like Barty who is world no.1 and still so gracious.... No drama for spotlight like others .... While shame on media and grand slams who keep their attention on players like Bianca, and many others who aren't doing anything great at the moment
Ash Barty is in good shape - bad news for her opponents.. Elena Rybakina - talented player who plays very elegant tennis - very rare nowadays. She is one of my favourite players.
This Tournament was a walk in the park for Barty except for the first 2 sets round 1, dispatching 2 former GS winner's on the way, will be well clear in world rankings with No 2 Sabalenka going out first round.
And people thought she wasn’t the true #1 when she didn’t play much in 2020 lmao I knew as soon as she came back from leaving the sport, she’d be #1 within a year. She has world class technique and natural tennis sense you just can’t teach
It will be interesting to see how the draw pans out but can easily see Rybakina doing some real damage, no matter who she is pitted against. Ash played brilliantly in this match, hardly missing anything. An Aussie female win of the AO, is long overdue...
Elena is talented player; however,she has a pressure when she plays with top experienced players as she is young and has low experiences in dealing with the big match. She should hire a mentality coach who can help her deal with the match like this. Always support ❤️❤️❤️
It seemed to me she was trying to do stuff more like Barty, less bang-bang tennis, take something off the ball and place it, even a cross-court backhand slice like Barty, I'm not sure she got there, but was thinking it.
Rybakina today you faced ah legit champion that played ah tactically sound but efficient game. To have victory over her is to attack or defensive side which you already have gathered its her slice. Possibly attack off a serve & volley and definitely balls placed deep in that sides corner because she can only go mid or cross court with it. Congrats to Barty but super fun & cool outfit today Rybakina!! Continue on the awesome path ur own because ur right there 🌞✨💯✨💐
Barty is a technical player,not a basher or a grunter!She reminds me of the glamorous Martina Hingis,who thought on the court and crushed her opponents with her master shots!Barty has clever hands and plays tennis as chess game,resembling to Martina!Good luck in AO,Ash!:)))
It’s like Ash woke up and put her foot on the gas late in the second set with Gauff, and never let up. Up to that point she was sort of sluggish and very rusty, you could almost see her shift gears and change course♥️
Steffi Graf, Martina NAvritilova, Ash Barty, Margaret Court....all of them knew how to use that BH slice...You'd think more women would rely on it....they all have it, but they seem to only use it for defense.
Modern coaches only advocate underspin on defence or change up. Good players simply run around and tattoo it. Traditional coaches taught biting slices as offence, skidding breakers that only be ladled up especially from exclusively top spinners. Then the knifer runs around and applies pace. Ref. Rosewall st Al.
@@kaialoha The forehand slice, especially can be a good offensive weapon. I'm not saying it should take the place of the topspin forehand, but I see a lot of rallies where it would have been preferable on many strokes, especially when a player is on the run or trying to change the direction of the ball
@@otherworld11 ... she looks totally outta it at the moment. 0 and 1 against Rybakina. let's hope not a 1-hit wonder kid amongst a long list of fading female 'stars'.
Unfortunately Elena didn't bring her best game on this occasion..probably felt a lil intimidated being on the court with #1 player in the world..but good match for Barty..she was a great champion 🏆
Noticed, barty's weapon is her forehand, she will run around to protect her weaker backhand. And folks thinks barty's forehand side is open, keeps hitting there. And barty is still young and strong enough to cover her forehand side.

BARTY and hurkacz have the same forehand it seems like.
