The groundstrokes from these two was absolutely amazing to watch. I wanted Rybakina to win, but Cirstea deserved to move onto the next round. She played really well
I'm so impressed by Cirstea. I've never seen her play with so much control. All the power is still there, but there's depth, angle, point-building and a bit of variety with some slices too. The point at 1:08 alone demonstrates this. Her game is better than it ever was, she's mentally stronger than ever, and she's getting more consistent with challenging the top players. In terms of level of play, this could well be the best match of her career so far. At 33, she could break the top 20 for the first time in her career playing like this.
I agree that Sorana is playing better than ever. I haven't seen the match statistics but she seems to have better control of her hard flat groundstrokes with fewer unforced errors.
i have seen her add more shape to her shots before but it appears more conscious and deliberate now. what jumps out the most to me is how much more applied she appears, right across the entire match.
Ce match est la finale avant la finale : un niveau de jeu incroyable, un suspense énorme jussu'au bout, une joueuse roumaine Cirstea peu connue, avec un jeu très complet, une très bonne intelligence de jeu, et une condition physique exceptionnelle, arrivant à surclasser une Ribakina pourtant en pleine possession de ses moyens, impressionnant ! Merci à toutes les deux pour ce match exceptionnel 🤗
Cela fait qques années que je suis les matchs de Cirstea, elle a 1 jeu très intéressant et c est très agréable de la voir jouer et évoluer sur le terrain, et en pratique. Je regrettais aussi parfois son manque de réussite qui semblait tenir à peu de choses... alors aujourd'hui je suis très heureux de sa victoire et du sourire radieux sur son visage. Bienvenue dans le camp des gagnants, cette victoire tu l as bien mérité.
i hope rybakina can rest her shoulder and come back stronger. her serving wasn't to her usual level. still this was a great match and cirstea played amazingly, can't wait to see more from her!
STOP PUTTING THE WINNER IN THE THUMBNAIL! NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THE WINNER (HENCE WHY THEY ARE WATCHING HIGHLIGHTS)! OTHER TOURNAMENTS HAVE LEARNED THIS! AS A SOCIETY WE MUST PUT AN END TO THIS SCOURGE!
Don't you get it? It's a deliberate action. It's all about the licensing of the video content. They want you to pay for it for suffer the winner thumbnail. It's been happening for years and everyone always complains including me but no change.
Rybakina still has the right shoulder taped so it clearly is not 100%. She needs to rest and let it heal or the danger is the injury will worsen. That said I don't think I have seen Cirstea play that well...ever.
I agree but I think this match was a bit more than that. IMO, Cristea was able to make her move a lot more than she likes. I've never seen her (Rybakina) looking as tired as she did in the 3rd set. She still fought like a champ but it looked like the tank was empty from all the running.
You have a point. That might be because they are limiting her practice time in order to manage the shoulder. If she is not at peak fitness third sets are going to drain her of all energy. @@saksit247
I think she looked nervous and unsure of herself at some moment in this game. Her coach had to keep telling her, "it's okay cirstea can have strong returns you keep going" which is very unusual of him. Her coach never shows much emotion or support himself
Cirstea a sus 33 años luce espectacular. Una quinceañera le envidiaria esa figura. De donde saco Cirstea ese tenis con que jugo contra Rybakina?. En mis 15 años que tengo de verla, nunca le vi tan buen tenis. Y Rybakina mantiene la consistencia de ese mal tenis que viene jugando desde hace meses. Creo que el mejor tenis de Rybakina ya paso. Le sucedio lo de Karolina Pliskova. Paulatinamente va ir desapariciendo del top 10 y 20.
No, her best tennis is FAR from over. She’s a better player this year than ever before: 4 finals in 2023 and two wins including the “5th grand slam” (Indian Wells) and Rome Open (clay). She’s been sick and/or injured for 3 months. She’ll be back.
I want to see players celebrating after lucky bounce, why say sorry, you didn't do anything wrong, if you're so concerned about opponent's feeling, why not just let her win?? 😁
How does a sporting event make you more? The player or the witness. How many are suffering in this World of Woes. What is a World Cup? But selfishness most. Where do you NOT want to live, where others are doing every day?
Елена у меня нет слов, ты посмотри как играет гауфф, она бежит цепляется за каждый мяч старается, а ты тупо провожаеш мяч взглядом, нужно бегать доставать, подача вообще нету сонная какая ты, вообщем все очень плохо, отпусти звезду которую ты поймала
Now that’s a smile that will light up New York ❤😍

Two most beautuful ladies in the wta playing amazing tennis

@@adamlarsson3828 Yes! Total focus.
She has a new coach! Maybe this is the reason she plays so much in control!
Sorana is such a heartthrob. The woman is gorgeous.
No debate here, what a beauty.
Yes, I’m still in love 😊. New Balance rarely did justice to her though. Really great match here, controled power.

I actually want Cirstea to win this whole thing now! Her mix of offense and dense is incredible
I am impressed at how Rybakina's handshake at the net is EXACTLY the same when she wins a Grand Slam final or loses a match in the same scenario.
What's your point?
Yeah, she saves being a brat for press conferences after losing.
@@deepconvos1 she has great control of her emotions.
@@facts2741 at this level no one likes to lose.
How else could it be?

What a smile ... congratulations from Poland.
Well done Sorana 👏❤️
Cirstea un match magnifique
1/2 hr highlights!!! French Open only give about 2 -3 minute highlights 😞
2nd best match of the year, the first is that with Kasatkina v Rybakina
Bravo , Romania !😅
Come on cirsteaaaaaa!!!!! Let’s see the final !!!!!!!
Girls, girls, are you kidding me? Magnificent hitting, what amazing tennis!
Rybakina still has the right shoulder taped so it clearly is not 100%.

this should be the best female match at US-Open in history. I guess.
bravo, bai, Micro 9 :) !!! frumos tenis!!!!!
Rybakina no matter if she wins or loses always cool and composed. Lika a robot. Nonetheless - got tons of skills and fighting spirit.
I think she looked nervous and unsure of herself at some moment in this game. Her coach had to keep telling her, "it's okay cirstea can have strong returns you keep going" which is very unusual of him. Her coach never shows much emotion or support himself
Happy for Sorana!
At 8:50 why would it go from deuce to game for Rybakina?
Sometimes scorboard fails to be updated, and in that case it was in fact advantage for Rybakina.
It felt like Rybakina made one first serve in this match.
actually?
forreal,, looks like her shoulder hasn't fully recovered yet. hope she'll get some rest and come back to her normal level!
yes, it's one of her big weapons. Hope she recovers for WTA finals.
The accent in Romanian is on Ci’rstea !!
I love both girls. Really a shame Rybakina was not quite fit.
Бывает,плечо приводи в порядок(тузов не видно)и работай. Ленка молодчина!
impressive
Congratulate Cristea you made nice surprise
So sad for Elena !!! 😢😢
Rybakina is the best!!
I think im in love of Sorana Cirstea

Nunca pensé que Cirstea iba a jugar a éste nivel, ni mucho menos creía que le ganaría a Rybakina. La verdad es que ella me tapó la boca
Love ❤
RYBAKINA LOVE YOUR 😂

The lady commentating was such a Cristea hater lol 😂
Someone please tell this lady that talk less about the game... so talky

Numele Elenei , scris mai des decât al Soranei .DECE ??? Sori a câștigat pe merit, a fost, mai BUNĂ !!!
Elena’s name is written more because she’s number 4 in the world. She’s won more. She’s a better player. She wasn’t today, though.
WOW!
Откуда взялась эта Girstea?
Не было её ни на шлемах, ни на др. соревнованиях.
Готовятся в своей глуши, пока топовые игроки зарабатывают травмы!
Не было б Кирсти,была д другая-какая разница, когда Рыбка не в форме...
Боже не позорься бедолага, удали комментарий свой
Пишут ,что плечо не долечила.И не играла в полную силу🤔И когда плечо вылечится ?🤦
❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏🎾😄
Come on Moose!
double fault like a ntrp 3 player ahahaha
Елена у меня нет слов, ты посмотри как играет гауфф, она бежит цепляется за каждый мяч старается, а ты тупо провожаеш мяч взглядом, нужно бегать доставать, подача вообще нету сонная какая ты, вообщем все очень плохо, отпусти звезду которую ты поймала
I'm an English speaker that used TH-cam's translate feature.
You would say that this loss is due to/partly due to the stardom/fame?
Robotkina can't move for shyt.
Can give it but can't take it.
