Both ladies are too good. 
They may be the major forces to jointly stop Swiatek to win more slams!
Who will end up with more slams,Rybakina or Sabalenka?

Everything points to Elena. Her game is so much more effortless than Aryna's it is simply a lot easier to see Elena sustain and even improve on her current level whereas Sabalenka's far more physical game is more likely to lead to injuries and exhaustion in the long run.

I would guess Sabalenka. She is 4-0 vs Rybakina and they barred her from Wimbledon. If she makes it 5-0 it shows how weakened that Wimbledon was
And Rybakina was born and raised in Moscow. She took Kaz money like Putintseva and Bublik because they were broke and it was money to travel

Sabalenka didn't win a single title last year. The Idea she would somehow of won Wimbledon is laughable.

I honestly don't see Sabalenka sustaining this level long term...she feels like the second coming of Kvitova and Muguruza...with huge peaks and valleys...

No one thought Rybakina was going to win Wimbledon. Dont spew that hindsight BS
Sabalenka could have won Wimbledon the year Barty won.
She was good in NY.
No doubt she could have been a major contender on the grass in 2022 and probably should be the favorite this year

Very much unpredictable at this point, needs more consistency and showing more mental strength in big stage matches from both, in the long run.

Sabalenka. She's been a consistent top 10ish player for the past five years and has 12 titles, plus has made it to 3 grand slam semis in addition to winning the AO. As far as injury concerns go, Sabalenka seems built more like Serena to last than Rybakina, with that thin frame.

I vote for Sabalenka. People seem to forget Rybakina went out in the first round at the US Open parking lot after winning a depleted Wimbledon. Sabalenka has also been the more consistent player over the years.

Rybakina actually was never tested as a favorite at a GS. Let's see how she performs when there is a lot of focus on her. Sabalenka is battle tested as she had almost seen it all before winning her slam. Sabalenka has also come back from losing form and injury struggles. So it's never a good idea to write her off. We will see how Rybakina does after she loses to everyone on tour. Her game is also highly dependent on her serve and quite 1 dimensional.
"Everything points to Elena" except everything which doesn't point to Elena - which is a hell of a lot of things.
Considering Sabalenka rarely gets injured, there's not much basis to assume her career will be hindered by injuries and exhaustion anymore than Rybakina. Nadal has had a longer career than the vast majority of his peers despite the most physically intense, grinding game in existence.

I think both will end up with multiple slams (I can't give a number yet), but I have a feeling it will be Rybakina the one with 2-3 more than Sabs.
and losing that portoroz final to siniakova, mental giant katka
Which was more due to the miraculous Spanish medicine than to his body type.

It's a 128 draw 7 round assignment, anything can happen, if you do the math on a given draw the probalities of any player winning is pretty sketchy.
My prediction is whoever makes the most quarter finals so luck of the draw as always with the exception of Pegula in the quarters or Sakkari in the Semi's. The way it goes is day 1, Dalma Goat and Cornet is fair game, by quarters a 6 sided dice can come into play.
One certainty is whoever win's the final tomrrow will get an influx of votes after the fact.

All 3-setters. This match-up has rivalry written all over it. I have to go against the TF favorite and pick Sabalenka, provided she keeps her serve under control, which is no small task. Worthy final tomorrow.
