Rybakina SURGES past Ostapenko | Australian Open 2023 | Eurosport Tennis

Rybakina is such a nice girl! No hysteria at all. Glad to see her winning!

Rybakina is the best of all when she's in her zone, which she clearly is again. I"m so happy for her! She's such a lovely person. No drama, no grunting, no arguing,, no fist pumping or playing the crowds. Just great tennis. Love her!

Ostapenko must have been a nightmare to play against in juniors, where you don't have umpires. She seems to claim every close ball as huge out, even while there's live Hawkeye on court. Truly riddiculous.

Imagine you are playing against Ostapenko and there is no umpire. All the deep shots and services would be out🤣 Good job Rybakina🇰🇿

Delighted for Elena. No drama, no grunting,,,,,,just plays her game with a gentle expression.

Rooting for Elena - she's got such a great game and deserves another slam win if just for the points to boost her ranking to where it should be. Also, it doesn't hurt that she destroyed one of the most unlikeable players in the game 🤣

Rybakina is just such a lovely girl. No grunting, no drama, never complaining. She just plays tennis and does it so well. Rooting for her to win!!

Watching how Ostapenko losses never gets boring. Vamos Rybakina!

Rybakina stuns all tennis aficionados with her sublime performance. Particularly, she has two large aspects to overwhelm her opponents. She has rocket serves and picturesque return strikes. She has formulated the most viable strategy in order to demolish Ostapenko in the two straight sets. Besides, Rybakina had a vast ascendancy in the movements of the rallies against Ostapenko. Well-deserved victory! Huge congrats to Rybakina!

Ostapenko seemed to be a lovable person in that RG run few years ago but she's probably the most unbearable player for so long now, always complaining and crying and cold handshake, glad she's out, Rybakina as a champ would be really great imo she seems calm and confident and respectful and that's enjoyable.

Рыбакина очень хладнокровная, никаких эмоций, только теннис. С таким настроем выиграла уимблдон и это круто. Не видел чтобы девушки были настолько психологически стойки. У неё большое будущее.

Лена , мы тебя на всех новых роликах поздравляем с ПОБЕДОЙ ! МОЛОДЕЦ ! УДАЧИ и ПОБЕДЫ . В 1/2 играть придётся с Азаренко .. Посмотри её матч в 1/4 . Обрати внимание на свои первые подачи .

Алга Казахстан. Я всегда верил Елену ,молодчина. Да поможет Вика пройти дальше

Elena on her way to being number 1 awesome tennis and seems to be playing well within herself 👏 can’t see anyone beating her at Wimbledon this year go Elena 🤞

Elena's serve might be best on the tour right now... Clocking close to 190km/h and with consistency!

Ostapenko played a good match yet still got overpowered by Rybakina. Elena hits the ball so sweetly because her movement has improved greatly over the past year. The self doubt has gone and she's becoming fearless under pressure. I love watching her play. I just hope she doesn't have a sudden loss of form as it's her title to lose right now.

Остапенко напоминает Бартоли😄очень рад за Рыбакину, надеюсь минимум на финал,удачи Елене

Congratulations to Rybakina, linear and extremely effective play. Positive person with a good personality. On the other side of the court a screaming, gesturing, annoying and rude tennis player. What is the meaning of the continuous and incessant contestation (with gestures and words) at each opponent's shot that ends up close to the line? Someone can also try to explain to me the psychological implications of the reasons why Ostapenko behaves like this .. but I, as a tennis and sport fan in general, see only that she is an unpleasant person.

I predicted this Rybakina score line in two sets on the Cam Williams site, when nearly everyone was going for Ostapenko to win why? The Wimbledon champion who destroyed Jabeur in the final seems to of surprised most everyone, including the media and ex women players who picked Americans or Iga to contest the title.

With such determination and effordless service motion, no such drama is necessary to get to a second slam. Elena deserves it with her game and personality on court and off court. Excellent performance!

I will cry of happiness if Rybakina wins the AO

What's not to love about Elena Rybakina? Very happy with the win!

С победой Лена ждем финал с твоим участием

I love Rybakina, well done!!!

I'm rooting for Elena. I love how she's bringing her best game to the big occasions.

I'm an Elena convert. Calm, brilliant player. No grunting, just does what she needs to do. Hope she wins!

Не все мужики на этом турнире обладают такой подачей!)) Молодец, Ленка! Уделала Нюшу)

Алға Рыбакина,умница!!

I agree with Robert's comment. Elena is very like Federer. No drama,s , no grunting, no histrionics. Just great timing of the ball. What a pleasant change . Well played young lady 👍👍

Kybakina is so underrated and understated. No-one was talking about her before the tournament as a contender. Now it looks like she'll probably lift the trophy. Also like her no-nonsense attitude. No shrieks, grunts or drama - just good tennis.

While I was surfing on the internet, I had simultaneously Eurosport running, so I listened to the match at first, though I watched the first game which lasted one and a half minutes, started watching again after 15 minutes. The first part of the match I didn't watch, I heard the commentators at least 7 or 8 times say something like: "Uhh, she's complaining again. It's every long ball. Everyone. The umpire has to stop this." Of course, that got my attention :D Those last 5 - 10 minutes I watched until rain set in, she at least complained 5 more times, even about balls that landed several inches in front of the base line. (Got only slightly better at the beginning of the second set.) Then we take her gestures signalling how much it was out, the real spots of the bounces, compare them and we come to the conclusion that the linesmen as well as the umpire were missing more than 10!!! calls by a margin of 10 - 15 inches. In Ostapenko's eyes at least 🤣 A Top 15 tennis pro (when not on LSD) can't misjudge that often, by 10 or more inches, impossible! Though I dislike Ostapenko not nearly as much as many in the comments do, to me that was gamesmanship from the get go, as the first points already showed her insecure, she probably realized after this first game, that today she will be overpowered, without chance. It was the attempt to get under Rybakina's skin and make her react emotionally (negative), as Rybakina is a very quiet and introverted character. She failed miserably, as Rybakina ABSOLUTELY blocked that nonsense out, cold as ice. Very well done, Rybakina!!! At times it was so ridiculous, I bet at least 95 out of 100 players, doesn't matter if professional or amateurs, would have lost it after just 20 minutes.

Ostapenko is always dangerous. But Rybakina is ON FIRE! Specially after defeats Swiantek.

Rybakina has improved a lot with the volley. She used to be as lost in the net as a giraffe at the North Pole, but here she proves at ease approaching the net to finish the point.

Керемет, алға Қазақстан

Rybakina is Cool,calm and collected..love this girls attitude💞

Elena Rybakina 🇰🇿💙the Best player WTA tour at the moment! Good luck!

🎉congrats Elena and love from all Kazakhstan!!

С Победой красавица, алга Казахстан.

Elena the coolest celebration strikes again. Love you lady.. no drama, no grunting, only tennis.. pure elegance.. good personality.. I hope you win the trophy..

Мои искренние поздравления для Елены, и пожелания выиграть турнир и стать одной из лучших ракеток мира!

Rybakina is like Federer very calm 👍👏👏

Rybakina the Best!! Hai cu trofeul!!

Ostapenko is in very good form, but Rybakina plays best tennis at the moment, hope she wins it all

Congrats Elena! good highlight video. many cool shots from both

Алга Казахстан. Поздравляем. Большой привет из Кыргызстана.

Остапенко очень тяжёлая для таких соперниц!Потенциал огромный,корт хорошо видит,но лишняя масса всё перечёркивает!

Елена Рыбакина - молодец !!! Леночка вперёд за титулом !!! Елена Рыбакина станет 1-ой ракеткой мира !!! Молодец !!! Красавица !!! Умничка !!! Очень скромная !!!

1:02 wow this ace wass amazing the look on her face is priceless i’m a fan of elena now

Apart from Rybakina being very cute and playing very well I always love when players prove that you don`t need regular grunting to play super powerful...to me that just remains a bad habit on the court....annoying the opponent and very often the spectators, too...being a tennis player myself and hitting the ball very hard from time to time I know that you don`t need to grunt with every shot...

So fabulous to see Rybakina back on-form again - she's going to be a Major Player on the WTA Tour very soon! I used to be a FAN of Ostapenko's game, but her on-court BEHAVIOUR (for years now) is just so ridiculously immature! Yet again, she's disputing the line calls - *but these ones were made by Hawkeye!* Furthermore - *SO SORRY TO SAY* - she has put on even more weight recently! My partner (not an avid tennis fan) felt the need to ask: "Is she playing whilst pregnant"?! SMH! Regardless of all that stuff, I'm backing Elena to win the AO Title!

Great match, just wish Ostapenko had be more dignified at the end. Would gain more fans. Please for Rybakina.

Rybakina's on for another slam title here.

Is there one close to the line ball that Ostapenko doesn't complain about being so far out?

Maravillosa ribakina rumbo a # 1 del mundo

Bravo Elena !

Красота победила!!!

I just 😍Rybakina - she is so nice and sweet - always a smile on her face :) - one of best Tennis persons ever!

Rybakina shows as much emotion as Ivan Lendl once did. From a marketing point of view, she is an excellent type of coffin salesman. But she's a great player.

Rybakina was way better than Ostapenko today 👍. Well done Wimbledon champion 💪🇰🇿 However Ostapenko is so funny 😆 She still doesn’t believe in the system 😂😂😂

Despite dropping out of the competition, Ostapenko won enough money at AO to buy a lot of food!

I'm gonna be that one, lone voice defending Ostapenko: I know she's a madam, a diva, a spoiled brat, a bad attitude, but she hasn't killed anyone and I just accept her for what she is, personally. But I just love watching her playing style: a big hitter, always going for winners and her awful outfits make me smile. There, I said it.

I root for all players who don't grunt when hitting the ball, male & female.

Алга, Лена!🔥🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

Elles ont un jeu similaire. Puissance, rapidité... Impressionnant.

I hope Rybakina will win AO

Rybakina is playing sensational tennis right now. I hope she can continue being consistent. She:s a nice girl, no fuss. It just would have finished it off, if she had gone to the centre of the court and clapped all four sides, just for the fans.

How can Ostapenko possibly be arrogant enough to question line calls when Hawkeye is making all the calls for the match? Has she no shame at all?

Алға Қазақстан 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿👍👍

Rybakina needs to forget that she is a marvel of the creation , and just focuse on her immense talent . That what she is doing right now , with a natural modesty which is another gift , a precious one

Ostapenko has no respect for her opponents and every time it goes south always complaining in a disrespectful way. I’m glad for Rybakina

Love Elena's face. Such a beauty. Queen of Wimbledon. From the UK.

Алга Елена!👏👏👏

Rybakina's service is on fire ! 🔥🔥🔥

Елена Рыбакина просто умница, не поддалась на провокации, выдержала свою игру. Остапенко может играть таааак 👍, но до чего же невоспитанная и неприятная девушка. Ну, ещё спорить с судьями - ну, ещё туда-сюда, но весь матч же спорить с "компьютером" - это уж так тупо... и, сорри, конечно но оделась прям "финиш" - чисто "баба на чайник", мягко говоря

I love Lena's low profile, few words but hammershots. She needs a bit more awareness in herself to finally make the step beyond

Ah, Ostapenko's endless whining about calls as usual. It's true, there is a global conspiracy such that only she is disadvantaged, right Einars? It does make her losses so much more enjoyable that she's such a victim in her own mind. What a graceless oaf she is.

Rybakina est une fille magnétique, souriante, championne, belle mentalité, ouverte, solide sur le terrain 💕 Ostapenko est mauvaise, sale caractère, elle a salué Rybakina avec amertume, quelle mauvaise fille 😠

Really quite surprising, in this era when matches are won and lost in fine margins, how a talented, strong, fast professional can have significantly more body fat - i.e. be carrying around a weight penalty - instead of complaining so much and looking like a victim every time an opponet's ball hits the line, how come she and her team can't help her to become that bit more healthy and physically competitive?

Coco that's how it's done. You can't be playing tennis expecting your opponent just to make mistakes all the time. You gotta have the initiative in power, direction & depth of shots. It's high time you left your dad & got a trainer who's ready to take that forehand to top ten level.

Ostapenko still not getting to grips with the live hawkeye system. If it's out, they'll say it's out, dear.

Что Остапенко немного Растолстела для спортсменки.Мощь Удара если на не успевает . Всё это уже Закат карьеры

Ostapenko so salty at the net when handshaking. Best part of her game.lol

Остапенко, ну и плюшка!😂 как с таким лишним весом можно вообще играть на проф.уровне?

Рыбакина ангелочка Казахстан

Bullet-like service!

The wonderful Elena Rybakina is from Kazakhstan - hear me out! How fabulous would it be (if she gets to the Final) *for DIMASH to turn up & lend his SUPPORT???!!* Okay sure, I'm getting way ahead of myself here - but still, it would be SO FABULOUS, yes??!!

The slogger was outslogged. Rybakina is v v good when on form

Я с начало пищу итоговую победу жду Елена.

In another few years, the screamers and grunters will be gone and all will be well in the world of tennis, just as it once was.

Остапенко как будто тошнит при каждом ударе 😅

People talking about Coco and Raducanu being the future of the WTA but forget that Rybakina is only 23 Hopefully the future of womens tennis is a bright one

I don't mind a little emotion, it is part of the game but calling all these monster serves out is just being a very poor sport. Would not like to play against Ostapenko

Просто красавица спортсменка комсомолка и умница

Me too, calm and humble. And the steady claiming of Ostapenko on in / Out decisions is a shame.

Such a great player, especially to beat Iga Swiantek. Iga might be overrated, I don't know

I’m so glad ostapenko is out 🎉🎉

Алга Казахстан 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿 Алга рыбакина.

Ribakina in questo momento è la piu' forte del circuito.

Rybakina, well done

Остапенко стала ещё больше 🤣, до мячей не успевает добегать
