Congratulations Aryna! You deserved this title, it's your first so enjoy the moment, Carla played very well but Sabalenka has so powerful shots, amazing talent, great angels, she will be a great grand slam champion in the future, Hope you will make a good result at Us Open, good luck and all the best to you, Aryna, love from Romania 🇷🇴
Even though her grunting is really annoying to me, I have to admit that she plays amazing tennis and is a really good contender for being an upcoming grandslam winner. Not yet, but definitely in the future.
@@netgodzilla1 And U at this point still with the same theme of the meldonium? While Sharapova overcame and passed that dark page, U have resentful and bitter, still skating on that issue that has already happened! Get over it, go ahead and don't skate in the same, with those comments U look like a 3 year old boy asking for sweets every day! Be happy and move forward, please! 🤷🏻♂️
Sabalenka clearly has so much potential. A great serve, a powerful physique (great shoulders), good core strength, above average movement, competent at the net, she can hit good slice, and then what impresses me most is she can hit very heavy topspin but also flatten it out with power when she needs to. So many of these heavy topspinners - Mauresmo, Kuznetsova, Kasatkina, Martinez, Stosur, Sabatini - can come unstuck when facing a power player with the strength, timing and physical height to get on top of the bounce and nail the shorter ball caused by the topspin. Even Nadal sometimes has this issue against Djokovic. The worry with Sabalenka is whether physically and mentally she can continue to play at this high octane level. She clearly puts so much effort into each shot. Then there's also the pressure. She'll never again be as free swinging and fearless as she is at the moment. I've seen no end of players great for a few tournaments over the years. Also, as touched on above, will she slip into bad habit with her topspin and start dropping the ball short with lazy loopers? It happens to the best of them, so you want to wonder. For this reason I would never coach a child to play with heavy topspin as default mode. Lastly, why has she only just broken through? A player as impressive as she is usually has a few years behind them at age 20, whereas she only really has a few months. When a player does well so suddenly you wonder whether it's built on sand and all their old demons will come back to them as soon as they get a bad loss or feel the pressure. She's definitely very impressive and exciting though. The scary thing is I think she's probably far from reaching her highest level yet.
she just got on tour i guess. she didn't start early. she better hurry up though she's already 20. she's got a way to go if she wants to be the next dominant player.
With that big backswing I'm amazed how cleanly she contacts and controls the ball. Also it is very hard to read the shot due to that wild back swing. Though I wish she would tone down the unessessary over the top grunting. But Congratulations on your 1st WTA title.
Since everyone already highlighting her power, her grunt and the angle she capable to make, let me highlight her fearless attitude and mentality. She's tough, she gives no shit whether you are Miyu Kato or Serena Williams, she'll hit the ball hard like there's no tomorrow, that's for sure. But, recalling some of her past matches, she could crack when she's overly excited (probably why she called Dmitry to the court at 5-4 so Sharapova Tianjin's case is not repeated again) or meeting a resilient defender like the case of Mertens. Can she beat crafty players? Yes she can but it will be a tougher match for her compared to outgunning someone in the battle of big hitter. Bet it will be a stellar match if Sabalenka meet Kasatkina and full blown battle if she meet Ostapenko, Sakkari or Sharapova (just watch Tianjin final and see for yourself)
It could be interesting to see her battling against maybe even Radwanska or Kerber. I wish she played Mattek-Sands somewhere. But she could evolve into proper champion beast, that is for sure.
A GS is much more different than these tournaments, because there is more competition, more players and the pressure is much higher there than here. Sabalenka is a great player, I love it because she hits the ball very hard and looks for some incredible angles on each side of the court. However, she has some things to improve, among them, her way of handling her attitude on the court, sometimes takes a despair that catches her and has not even come to define in her favor some points and even a match. She "could" be one of the favorites, but doesn't absolutely the favorite, as I said, there will be many hungry girls and desire to make a dent in this tournament. 👍🏻🎾🏆💯
I have loved watching Sabalenka since Eastbourne..... she would’ve won against wozniacki if she was as in form as she is now The match between Goerges... where both ladies were playing exceptional I would say is the match of the year for me so far
Yo sabía perfectamente que sabalenka iba ser coronada es una tenista muy fuerte y la veo que va llegar en ser número 1 del mundo estoy muy feliz en llevarte ese us open felicidades hermosa 😘😘😘😘😘
Unbeatable. Deserved the title. But unfortunately I can't support Aryna until she sorts out her excessively loud grunting. I only hope she quietens down because I really do want to support her - she has AMAZING potential.
She has a very good attitude towards the game in general. Stays in the present, wants to win, plays every point with the sane intensity. Also if you see her earlier matches, she really worked on her grunt as well. It's not easy to get rid of an old habit. Got to give her the credit when it's due
Congs to Aryna. Worth to note that all her powerful hits in to all angles can be neutralized by a player with volley and net play. So she must learn of not only baseline play. Often reach net and volley too. The other thing is that she can easily tear her health with such power. So health saving concept is most important to obtain hights in tennis. Once again CONGS TO HER 1ST TITLE.
She is playing amazing but its too soon to call her a future GS champion, this is a preparation tournament so top players don't take it serious. Lets wait until she does well at a GS or a 1000, she has the game but for big wins the most importantly thing is mentality and to perform well under pressure, many players are very good until they have to serve for the set or the match, specially in big moments.
Your observations are spot on. I've observed Sabalenka for a while now and my pre-game expectations from her has swung sharply from "expected to loose due to excessive unforced errors" to "strong favorite because of strong powerful shots". In the past 2 months she has matured exponentially.
I was annoyed with comparisons like Osaka-Serena in the past. People tend to exaggerate when one player wins a wta tournament. But Sabalenka, got a good package of skills to become an emblematic player. Just Simo could stop her(lately) from her very good form.
One thing I like from Sabalenka is not just the easy power but the angles she can produce. And she can volley too. But she got to shut the volume down on that grunt. To be fair, CSN is a good match up for her hence the easy win.
That's not easy power. Her back swings are enormous and she puts alot of torque in her racquet swings. Nothing at all easy especially on that forehand.
I’m her biggest fan IF she reduces her, in my opinion, far too unnecessary grunting. But apart from her grunting, that game is as fearless and ruthless as you will ever have seen on the women’s tour. And to boot, Tursunov is her coach?!! Remember that guy used to wreak havoc on the men’s tour when he was on.
Two things: people like to complain a lot about Sabalenka's grunting. The Australian's nailed her for it when she played Barty at the Australian open this year, but I personally have got used to it. I'm sure her opponents have dealt with grunting players enough times to know how to tune it out. I think people need to get over it and admire Sabalenka for her game. Also, I think Sabalenka should get a second coach or replace Dmitrov in the next year or so. His career high ranking is number 20 in singles which is exactly where Sabalenka is at now. Also, he has never won grand slams or made it past the fourth round of one, so Sabalenka would have a better chance of winning one with a coach that has had a more extensive tennis career.
she can go a long way. but the WTA Tour right now is getting more competitive. consistency is less dictated by the hard work put in by the player, but more so by the quality of opposition. aside from sabalenka, there's a whole batch of up-and-coming players who can have a breakthrough year in 2019 - yastremska, anisimova, danilovic, kostyuk, dolehide
Reminds me of Ivan Drago. But she seems easy going just a bit unsure of how to behave in the limelight. She has managed to tame down tje geinting a little which is great.
Первый титул у соболенко поздравляем с первым титулом желаем побольше титулов успехов продвижение в рейтинги чтобы стать первой ракеткой мира как Виктория Азаренко
She really deserve it. However she needs to prove she can win the US open. A lot of players play well on these kinds of tournament but when it comes to grandslam they flopped. I have yet to see consistency and mental toughness.
she has d game n weapons. I will prefer such attacking style players to win slams over these pushers domination this year. But I could tolerate sharapova level grunting but this girls is too much for my liking. but her game is amazing when it's on. this girl reminds me of young maria
Me too good matchup both young offensif style both attitude on court is wild both love drama and fights with oponents both got a real bright future ahead
I think ostapinko will have the upper hand if it's in GS but if it's a not so important tournament i will have to give the advantage to sabalenka don't like thrm both btw
suarez’s game is just not for this modern singles anymore specially her backhand not much power.. she maybe better off in doubles though if she will have a power hitting partner..
CSN is a good player, she just caught Sabalenka in the zone. Not much you can do when you opponent hits that powerful and not missing. I always thought she could win Roland Garros when she was coming up, but her serve just does not have enough on it at times
I strongly disagree. Suarez was winning the tournament were it not for some of the cleanest ball striking in the WTA. Also the idiosyncratic style is welcomed where a lot of styles are similar.
Nope. Not the most powerful. Even Sloane Stephens has a more powerful shot, so much so that 80% of her game is spent reducing the force she hits with. Kvitova would be my pick.
Burabari Kpai pusher Scone? Heck no...She might can hit a heavy fh once in a while but Sabalenka has way more relentless power. Kvitova and Keys up there, but Saba overwhelmed Keys in their last match.
@@ARZ1987 ha ha haaaa 😂 Yes Sloane might look like a pusher but believe me it's all in the game strategy to win Tournaments. You can't just hit your way to multiple finals. By the way Sharapova has a more powerful shot than Sabalenka.
Congratulations Aryna! You deserved this title, it's your first so enjoy the moment, Carla played very well but Sabalenka has so powerful shots, amazing talent, great angels, she will be a great grand slam champion in the future, Hope you will make a good result at Us Open, good luck and all the best to you, Aryna, love from Romania 🇷🇴
Sebi se pare ca nu sunt singura romanca fan Sabalenka:)) go aryna!!
Even though her grunting is really annoying to me, I have to admit that she plays amazing tennis and is a really good contender for being an upcoming grandslam winner. Not yet, but definitely in the future.
BALO • Alex I have to agree. I can tell she has studied the GOAT.
She played like Sharapova with meldonium. Stronger than current Maria
How old is sabalenka
She just 20 years old this May, so she still young, with a brillant future.

Great tournament. Been attending since 1990 when we had a men's and a women's tournament.

First WTA Title. Congratulations to Sabalenka. 👏👏👏
Sabalenka has a really awesome physique for a woman. She is more muscular than most players on the men's circuits.😂😂😂
With that big backswing I'm amazed how cleanly she contacts and controls the ball. Also it is very hard to read the shot due to that wild back swing. Though I wish she would tone down the unessessary over the top grunting. But Congratulations on your 1st WTA title.

A multiple grand slam winner in the making
oh those shoulders that fat neck no doubt shes powerful but is she biologically female just saying .
I wish i went to see this match and not the one yesterday, i wont forget her for this win
I have loved watching Sabalenka since Eastbourne..... she would’ve won against wozniacki if she was as in form as she is now
The match between Goerges... where both ladies were playing exceptional I would say is the match of the year for me so far
I said it before and i will say it again : Keep screaming like crazy as long as you playing this good and keep the consistency up. 😍
It's curious how much she improved in so little time. She never was a top junior player but she delivers when it matters
Wow, her forehand is AMAZING
Unreturnable forehand. Powerful backhand. Aryna "Top 10 Killer" Sabalenka. US Open. Here she comes.
Sabalenka will be a top 3 player soon, and winner of some slams. Both played well but Aryna has amazing forehand shots.
Yo sabía perfectamente que sabalenka iba ser coronada es una tenista muy fuerte y la veo que va llegar en ser número 1 del mundo estoy muy feliz en llevarte ese us open felicidades hermosa 😘😘😘😘😘
Unbeatable. Deserved the title.
But unfortunately I can't support Aryna until she sorts out her excessively loud grunting. I only hope she quietens down because I really do want to support her - she has AMAZING potential.
Matt Jackson Gavrilova almost had her, she’s not quite unbeatable.
we both know that isn't going away but she was much more composed this match.
She has a very good attitude towards the game in general. Stays in the present, wants to win, plays every point with the sane intensity.
Also if you see her earlier matches, she really worked on her grunt as well. It's not easy to get rid of an old habit. Got to give her the credit when it's due
@@dimensionexo. They deserve it more if they put more perseverance/dedication/focus and hard work in...
Nathan Lifska true that was a close match but I think gavrilova needs a better serve and a better plan.
Champion, a grunting champion.
Congs to Aryna. Worth to note that all her powerful hits in to all angles can be neutralized by a player with volley and net play. So she must learn of not only baseline play.

I believe she has a very strong mentality and the only thing that will stop her mental growth is PRIDE.
A grand slam coming soon!
I was annoyed with comparisons like Osaka-Serena in the past. People tend to exaggerate when one player wins a wta tournament. But Sabalenka, got a good package of skills to become an emblematic player. Just Simo could stop her(lately) from her very good form.

I hope, that Sabalenka can recover to US open and will be in the second week! 👌🏻
She might meet Kvitova in the 3rd round. Might be tough to get by her.
she can beat Kvitova if they meet in the round of 32. Kvitova has had a sort of bad luck at the GS this year
Congrats, Aryna. Now gear up for a deep run at the USO. :-)
Aryna reminds me of Murguruza, aggressive and fearless.

Once again just like at the Citi Open I think the trophy has changed, last year I think it was a much more grand trophy..
CONGRATS LENKA 😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
she has d game n weapons. I will prefer such attacking style players to win slams over these pushers domination this year. But I could tolerate sharapova level grunting but this girls is too much for my liking. but her game is amazing when it's on. this girl reminds me of young maria
i called it first time i seen vid of her future number ! 1
Very beautiful
During this match english comentators lost the measure of their freaking words?
Sabalenka is the new Sharapova !!!!!
Nice win
Why do children go out with tennis players
Bravo ARYNA 💕
Im curious to see an ostapenko sabalenka match. Lol
Me too good matchup both young offensif style both attitude on court is wild both love drama and fights with oponents both got a real bright future ahead
I think ostapinko will have the upper hand if it's in GS but if it's a not so important tournament i will have to give the advantage to sabalenka don't like thrm both btw
On the other hand there is one more intresting matchup between two other power hitters and it's between madison keys and julia georges
Новая звезда Арина Соболенко.
Sabenlenka smash Navarro but Osaka couldn’t lol
How old is she?
20
uuuuunlimmmmited Poooowwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
suarez’s game is just not for this modern singles anymore specially her backhand not much power.. she maybe better off in doubles though if she will have a power hitting partner..
she made it to top ten and has titles. she beats the power ladies often enough.
Yes. CSN does not have a singles game anymore, she just directly got a wild card to play the finals of a wta premier event! 😒
CSN is a good player, she just caught Sabalenka in the zone. Not much you can do when you opponent hits that powerful and not missing. I always thought she could win Roland Garros when she was coming up, but her serve just does not have enough on it at times
I strongly disagree. Suarez was winning the tournament were it not for some of the cleanest ball striking in the WTA. Also the idiosyncratic style is welcomed where a lot of styles are similar.
winning which tournament? 😱
Carla Suarez Navarro has a bad records of losing in finals.
Most powerful female player ever off the ground? Certainly a contender
Nope. Not the most powerful. Even Sloane Stephens has a more powerful shot, so much so that 80% of her game is spent reducing the force she hits with. Kvitova would be my pick.

She definitely Russian. Maria has officially been replaced. Congrats
T milton she is from Belarus.. that’s not Russia , they have their own language
Anastasia Co Oh'they' say the 'Russian'.
How is it legal to grunt like that
is Sabalenka trying to find a grunting or is she trolling everyone ? Chick you ain't an r&b singer....
Мужики в женский тенис!WTA
She?
Ew
I dont like her at all and her grunting was disgusting, but she is potentially a future grandslam champion
he won a plate to have something to cook with in teh kitchen
I hate Sabalenka ‘s grunting ........ She played fantastic this tournament and won it because Halep withdrew but congratulations to her
Mr. Sabalenka, roids are not good for this beautiful sport.
Another insecure hater.
