I don't know what it is about Swiatek but she is unlikeable to me. She seems fine but I don't know, is it just me? Not a fan.

Rybakina should be ranked much higher but it's only reason why she isn't is because she couldn't gain any points from Wimbledon, she's had a good year so far.

Imagine the result on grass...

jinx?

 

[Lugaid Ó Cearbhaill]

Was it a jinx attempt? I doubt it will work

Haters, don't get too excited

Fellow Iganators, don't despair.

Who laughs last, laughs best.

 

[Tennisfoc]

Anyone who was praising Swiatek for the 4 previous matches, especially sport journalists should take some lessons on critical thinking, that was a shitty tournament full of poor, very often too passive passages of play, and a fuckload of ugly ass errors that made watching all of it just a weak, sad experience. Shit's just embarrassing. Should have been a second set bagel.

And the biggest disappointment of all, the lack of will to fight.

Obrzydliwy mecz ze strony Świątek.

Doesn't OP get a ban for this?

Iga is in real danger here. So far, Iga has had the luxury of nobody really punishing her less than stellar serve. Rybakina has the sheer firepower to do it. We all know that the only way to really trouble Iga is to rush her on the forehand side. Iga's extreme grip means she needs time to produce that stroke in a way that stings. If Rybakina plays well, she could easily take this in straight sets.

I hate to say I told you so, but I called it perfectly. Rybakina really exposed Iga's weak serve and gave it the treatment that it deserves. I would say that I hope the rest of the WTA tour was watching, but this is not the first time that someone has shown how to take Iga's game away completely. Rybakina, Collins, and Ostapenko all have her number. Elite returners with decent serves will always be capable of beating Iga easily until she does something about that serve.

Also, Rybakina's serve gets all the attention, but her forehand cross is an absolute revelation! That shot tore Iga apart tonight!

That was an evisceration of Iga...Elena is in her head 100%

 

[Queen_Of_Spray]

Iga how could you, you bully you look what you did to my girl.

All she wanted was to go to a Miami heats game and you didn't even have the decency to give her that - pathetic.

 

[ILoveMeat]

Rybakina and Sabalenka should be absolutely ashamed they let Swiatek win a hardcourt slam lol

Tennis and humanity saved
