Elena's winning a lot of fans with her calm and quiet but deadly game.

I watched this match and Iga Swiatek looked like a junior tennis player in comparison, incredible outcome.

what's remarkable is that Rybakina didn't even look like she had to push herself too hard or get too far out of her comfort zone to beat Iga. she pretty much just blew Iga off the court without any fanfare, grunting, shrieking, and all the other nonsense that many WTA players do to pump themselves up

What a graceful and dignified player is Rybakina. I like not only her game also her court behaviour during and after the match. One of the most versatile and dignified players I have ever seen.

This is PURE UNADULTERATED TENNIS, folks! no drama, no beaking off, no pouting, no screamgrunting, just pure mental/physical EXCELLENCE for rybakina!! a TREAT to watch!!

Elena the face of an angel the tennis of an assassin ❤

Absolutely love Elena's zen-like mental state. Add to that, her refusal to play to the gallery - she remains a true-blue introvert who lets her racquet do the talking - hats off! A win against Iga is icing on the cake

Elena keeps her composure whether she leads or not in the game. This is how she wins. She has developed nerves of steel and she is a force to be reckoned with.

Elena is my favorite player now. what a style and power with great composure. I wish we got players like her few years ago.

I loveee Rybakina’s style of play it’s so mathematical and composed. You can tell she’s thinking through each point knowing exactly where she wants to place every ball.

The scary thing is Rybakina has considerable room for improvement

Elena just treats the victory on the number one in a semi final like another walk in the park, ice cold, well deserved!!!

Iga got a taste of her own medicine. She was absolutely helpless. Elena is playing some incredible tennis right now. I hope she wins the whole thing.

Elena was top class today. Calm, compose and utterly focused what land her in winning side. Expectation from her now so high 😊

She’s the Kryptonite to Swiantek. Straight sets win again. Looking forward to the repeat of the Australian Open 😊

Elena is just amazing! She reminds me of Federer - calm, elegant, beautiful game and technique, and the feeling that all this is very easy for her!

Great match. Elena shows her how matured she has become . She will be one of the top players in this new generation of players. I have been following her for the last two years because I saw her raw talent and now she is confident of her abilities. Too bad for the rest of the field including Sabalenka. She shows the ferocity of Sharapova but the calmness of Stefi Graf and of course the power of the Williams sisters. She will be multi grandslam soon as long as her health keeps up. I predict that she will be the next one to win on all different courts. She will continue to dominate Iga just like Serena did over Maria. Sorry Iga I backed you when you won your first grandslam but now there is a new superhero .

Iga will have to practice that down the line return, Elena was reading her game with ease.

I am so proud of Elena. I have been watching her for about 4 years now. I love watching her play. Graceful and elegant. No screaming, no drama. Just her racquet talking.

She hits the ball like like there’s no tomorrow. she’s insane

Elena showed Iga who's the boss for the second time and I have no doubt she will do it again and again.

Rybakina is my favourite player now - and has been since that magic Wimbledon run. If you notice, she's even wearing green emerald ear-rings for St Patrick's Day - and as an Irishman, I appreciate that. She's also beautiful, but that's another story which must not take away from her grace on court. Many players could learn from her, and I don't just mean about playing tennis.

Rybakina bardzo skromna osoba, zarazem elegancka i inteligentna no i nie krzyczy w niebogłosy na korcie itd. zycze jej zwyciestwa w tym turnieju

So elated w/the outcome of the match! Iga looked less than ordinary, lost, and confused. Thx Elena for your outstanding performance 👏 ❤️

Elena is IGA's Achilles heel! Wow what a performance.

Love Elena! My favorite player! Her style and grace is unmatched! That look she gave her coach in a previous game was so funny!

Yes Elena so happy you won, my fav female tennis player on tour right now since AO... humble and a phenomenal player

Elena is one of the quiet tennis players. Beautiful shots and good movement!

Rybakina studied Iga's quick movements and anticipation of the ball well enough to use it against her. It's all about getting the right angles when playing Iga. Iga can really be helpless and all that foot work can be flawed. Congrats to both, a great match to watch.

Elena was not playing NO GAMES! Really love watching her play. She hits such a crisp ball and her focus is A1!

Rybakina’s composure in these big matches…she doesn’t lose focus often and that’s what will help her win more slams

Elena is so many immaculate and flawless. She has a huge dominance and wide mastery against the adversaries. She roundly dictates the games with her potent forehand strikes, subduing the players in the critical positions. Moreover, the rocket serves are always the largest weapon of Elena Rybakina to maintain her preeminence. Undoubtedly a magical game from Rybakina!

Iga got the taste of her own medicine. What a clinical performance from Rybka. She is definitely hitting her stride towards the peak of tennis. Well done

Exceptional play by Rybakina against an exceptional player! Women’s tour in great shape right now.

Elena's cross-court forehead was especially deadly, sometimes stunning Iga, and Iga had no answer for it. WTG, Elena!

So unfortunate that the crowd showed how onesided they are and did not recognise and applaud the brilliant display of power tennis by Elena. Keep doing what you are doing Elena. You will be number one soon. Hope you get this win over Aryna. You deserve it.

Elena is so calm and elegant...she has no drama, no shouts no mourns 😂.....she is classy....I am so happy she won this

Elena with all the certainty in the world, is Iga's kryptonite. Incomparable and impeccable.

Лена, спасибо ! Уж слишком много о себе она возомнила в последнее время, поверила в свою непобедимость, в то, что может указывать Российским игрокам чуть ли не как им в туалет ходить)

What a show! I am fan of Rybakina and Qinwen Zheng! Also, what a final that will be, Aryna vs Elena! Insane final was in AO.

No screams, no drama, no politics, just cross court winners from Rybakina, this is the type of tennis I wanna watch

Elena has been Iga's kryptonite this year.

She is making No.1 looks like some qualifier! Amazing Rybakina!

Rybakina! What a game against world N1. She have never played at this level with rare mistakes. Impressive 👏 would like to see more this kind of play

Well done Elena. She's fast becoming my favourite tennis player

She's become my favorite player. Such elegance, resilience, professionalism!!

Not sure why Iga did not fight harder.... seems she was too surprised with how clean and precise Elena played...

I was hoping for Iga to win but Elena was just relentless, merciless and precise ❄️ I hope Iga learn to play better against Rybakina so this rivalry turn into something fun and exciting 🔥

Go Rybakina go...one of my favorite WTA players. So low key yet so good!

If Rybakina can beat Sabalenka now she is going to have limitless confidence for years.

Needless to say, I wasn't expecting such a clinical dispatch of the best WTA player on tour right now, is she tired or something? Or is Elena just wayyyyy too good? I can't tell but congrats to both ladies anyway and rooting for Elena to go all the way!

Elena continues her rampage, love seeing her topple Swiatek with such ease! What a champion! But why in these tournaments now there are so many empty seats?! If you cant fill them, then at least give them to a local school or something!

Love it!!iga was crushing everyone..glad to see someone matching and surpassing her speed among many other things!!Elena❤ its like iga had no fight left...nothing was working...crushed!

Wow - she really does make it look easy. Congrats Elena!

Rybakina made swiatek look like an amateur. What a match. She is definitely Swiatek’s kryptonite.

I am so pleased it's a swiatek free final and that rybakina showed her who's the real boss.

Its not easy to send Iga home with a 2 & 2, yikes. The silent assassin has struck again. Was she wearing back magnets a few days ago? I thought she got a huge tattoo on her back but its gone. Iga seems like the kind of person of when she loses, she goes home and practices for 4 hrs. Elena just seems so calm.

What a dominant play by Rybakina.

Tremenda paliza de Ribakina!! Ahora toca final de sacadoras; aunque las dos han mejorado mucho en el peloteo! Bravo Elena!!

Iga has all the talent and determination to level up against Rybakina's play. It's her team's duty to find the way. 💪

I was fortunate enough to see Elena play in Toronto's WTA 1000 event last year, and even though she lost to Gauff in that match (Gauff had the defensive match of her life), I was blown away by the fluidity of her strokes and how effortless the power is she can generate on both the back- and forehand wing. At the time her foot speed was her achilles heel around the court, but in the off season she seemed to improve this aspect of her game, as she's getting to a lot more balls out wide, fully balanced, resulting in, a higher percentage of hard driven balls being administered to her opponents. It is devastating; most women, save for Sabalenka, cannot handle the barrage of pace Elena can now bring to a match. If she remains healthy, I would not be surprised if Elena (or Sabalenka, to be fair) were #1 by the end of the year.

this is going to be very interesting year in women's tennis! congratulations to the winner, hugs for the looser, sport is very difficult job, I can't even imagine to be putted on such a display every week at my job, so huge respect from my side!

Elena, like Barbora, is one of the few players that Iga struggles terribly with. They are nightmares to her

I always knew the current generation of women tennis had potential to be great and consistent. And exactly players like Rybakina, Sabalenka and Krejcikova make the women tennis more exciting! Yeah, although the lost, Iga is still a great player, but she needs competition! That's great not only for us, as fans, but also for her, as player, because she would work to improve it. And i think Elena Rybakina could be her biggest kryptonite for long years... She has the playing style and mentality to be champion for long years!

Swiatek's heavy high bouncing top spin doesn't bother Rybakina because she's 6 feet tall! The ball bounces right at her strike zone!

Classy person she seems. Definitely going for world number 1 soon .

It's not a mental block that's preventing Iga from playing well against Rybakina. It's the powerful, flat balls from Rybakina which doesn't give Swiatek enough time to set up her shots. Iga likes slow, spinny balls like Gauff's, and only Rybakina in the WTA gives her consistent, powerful flat balls from both forehand and backhand. That, combined with Rybakina's serve which i think is the best in the WTA, is just too much for Iga to handle.

hats off to the spirit of iga... she gets there not to be sour and to cry. But to compete and to be happy and to be part of the tennis happy atmosphere. She is part of what we all aspire as tennis player. To challenge opponents to play and be fair. But beat them within that fairness. Love her too!

She and Barbora are my fav. Solid tennis, no grunts and no dramas. 😊

Финалда тек жеңіс тілеймін! 👏🏻🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿🏆

The contrast in the final with the loud and fiery Sabalenka will be very interesting. Both absolute beasts but their personalities on court are so different!

Rybakina's game is such a throwback to the early to mid 2000s golden era of tennis. She reminds me of the Serena, Capriati, Venus, Clijstrers, Davenport, Hingis, Seles etc. era.

I love how Elena is always calm and just play the match. It’s so great watching the match without screams and childish tantrums. Elena is the best right now. ❤️💚💕

Coming soon to be new No.1 Elena Rybakina. Amazing technique. Great attitude. Love her

Well deserved victory, good luck for the final, and wish you all the best for your future. ❤

Elena from the beginning was successful in making Iga lose confidence and mentally becoming out of balance. Watch Swiatek in the break after the 7th game: she wanted to drink water without removing the bottle’s cap. This shows her unbalanced frame of mind throughout the match. Her defeat has nothing to with an ailing rib. Good luck Elena in the final.

Congratulations to Elena and commiserations to Iga.. As I love Iga, her loss is upsetting and hard to swallow, nevertheless Elena is a deserving winner (and I yet have not plucked up the courage to watch the highlights . Ouch) and a lovely woman

Today Elena is powerful! Fantastic display of calm power!

The only path to beat Swiatek is getting more and more clear. She is vulnerable against a strong and acurate server. She can't engage her retruns in a proper way. Consequence: she feels a lot pressure on her own serve and she has problems to handle it.

Wow! Rybakina definitely has Iga's number. Despatched her comfortably today.👏👏👏

I wish Elena the overall victory!!!❤

Probably the coolest player on the tour...nothing seems to distract her

I think this will always be a matchup issue for Iga. Iga’s heavy spin is an advantage against most players but it works against her against Rybakina because of her height and flat strokes. The ball is frequently right in her strike zone and allows Rybakina to hit down on the ball aggressively without taking a lot of risk

Just finished watching this March impressive win for Elena I hope the finals will be a 3 set battle like AO final with Rybakina for the win 🎉

I really enjoy watching Elena play. She can cover a lot of ground with her long legs. Her serves are also a strong point. I totally loved her win over IGA. No big fist pumps.VERY HUMBLE WINNER

Big fan of Iga but she has no answer to Rybakina! convincing victory 👏 Elena is going to be the next number 1 and I can see her defending her Wimbledon title 👍 congratulations Elena poetry in motion 👏👏👏

Elena is the real deal! Swiatek couldn’t read her strokes and where to go. Very interested to see the final again against Sabalenka. Wimbledon 🏆 AO runner up🏅 she is definitely top 3 and can become no. 1 if she can keep this level for the rest of this year. She is so resilient. With a bit more flavors in her game plan nobody can come near her in the future. I think I have become her supporter now 😊

To me, Elena is playing better than she was at the Australian. I hope she gets the victory tomorrow. Hats off to her. She has worked so hard to get to this point.

Wow great job Rybakina. Iga’s kryptonite!!! This will be an amazing final with Sabalenka I am torn on who I want to win two great players that will be hitting massive winners. Can’t wait for this battle of the juggernauts!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

Elena is humble ..congrats

Молодец, Лена. Уверенная победа над первой ракеткой. В финале если соберётся, победит. 🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿

Просто умничка,больше нечего сказать

Rybakina went next level.

No doubt about who the best 2 players in the world are right now: Saba and Rybka. The next 2: 1ga and Krejcikova. Next 2: Pegula and Bencic. I just wish we would finally get some good matches, a classic here and there between these players and not just drubbings.. hoping we get a classic in this final and Elena takes it, she absolutely deserves it 💪

A complete demolition. Rybakina is unreal… 🎉

She plays a calm, precise and deadly game. The only thing I don’t get is how she handles her over excitable coach talking to her like she just started playing yesterday.

igas only weapon is topspin drill shots and that works well against players that cant match her power or pace .. but not with aryna and elena they gonna overpower her and push her back and she doesnt have other solution that topspin shots no slice no dropshots just topspin forehands .. they are the kryptonite to igas limited game .. congrats to elena this was another level today 👏👏 the final against aryna gonna 🔥🔥 the two best and powerful players going at it can wait my fav match up on the wta tour for sure 💣💣🍿🍿

Какая красотка Елена! Поздравляю с выходом в финал!

Elena has won me over a long time ago. I’m a huge fan of her and will be rooting for her all the way. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Удачи в финале 🥇🏆🏆🏆🎈🌺🌺🌺🙋‍♀️
