Simona's defense is unbelievable.
the djokovic of the WTA!!!
This was an absolute awesome match
Rybakina is amazing and hope she’s a GS contender. Great to watch.
Halep just never gives up. Heart of a lion
Now Rybakina is a GS champion too
If you watched Simona when she was losing all those heartbreaking finals in extremely close matches and going and lamenting on her Facebook, you know that when she edges out her opponents to win Finals in matches like this one, she absolutely deserves it. All great matches this week. I love her to no end. She inspires me and I am extremely happy for her. Good luck to Rybakina, I'm sure she has a nice story of her own that she is continuing to build and she looks like she is going to be a super-star. The WTA tour right now is the most competitive contest in all of sports. And I love that.
2 points. First, she's not her top gear this season (yet), which is proved occasional, unexpected losses. Then, how she won?! She can't outplay her opponent by power play or big serve. You see? How tenacious Simona Halep of 1.68 cm of height!
Secondly, she's stuck to her gun throughout the match. A simple strategy: to play my game. Her strength is the capacity of concentrating herself each point. She's a very strong self-believer. How could she more strongly believe in herself under extremely huge pressure in the deciding set?! The hardest thing is what she has done. Exhausted mentally!
@@footfault1941 you dont know NOTHING about Simona and her strenght ''She's a very strong self-believer'' So do is Ostapenko and Williams sisters Bertens and a bunch of others... You've just wrote to find yourself wroting
@@kukulroukul4698 as you named a few, yes I agree, but equivalent to Simona currently is only Serena. They are exceptional in that ability.
@@footfault1941 u have forgotten calculated BRAVERY witch is Kiki Bertens alike And it is more but its difficult for me to pointing out coz im not good in english
@@footfault1941 Simona is NOT equal to Serena. And if you think she is, is it purely because of last year's Wimbledon?
it's always a pleasure to see you playing in the last match of the tournament.👏❤🏆
What a match,what a week you had!Every match you played this week you were amazing.You fight for every ball from the start to the end.Congratulations Simona.You show everyone why you are in top 10 for so many years,because you are an amazing player.You made my day,winning your first tournament in 2020.Hope you will win more .
She inspire me so much. She's a fighter!
Top 3 for so many years
Damian S. plus in top 10 for so many years,that I wanted to say in my first comment
She won in Prague today!!
Eduard Răduț yes I just saw that. I am going to watch the replay on Amazon
Wish we could have had two winners here. Exciting match that could have gone either way really. Both are great fighters. Congrats Simona and Rybakina!!! Simona is so good at chasing balls and getting them back in play, it was crazy what she managed to bring back. Rybakina getting better and better. Has such a great future in tennis. She can definitely finish the year within the top 10 if she continues on this great form. Big serve and smart at setting up the points which was stressing Halep out a lot. She has been playing a lot of tennis since the start of the year so was definitely a bit tired heading into the finals.
This is rybakina's 4th WTA final this year. That's very impressive
@@callum2918 For sure and she is only 20 years old!! She will win more Finals once she gains a bit more experience in those moments. It was a tough atmosphere to be in and many were rooting for Halep in the crowd. Getting to so many finals in such a short time is a very great accomplishment and overall she manages the pressure well. A lot of these top players don't know her yet but they soon will!! She doesn't have to be loud on court, she does all the talking with her incredible tennis. Only thing though, I just hope she doesn't overexert herself too much. Take rest if you need it. Has played the most matches of anyone else on tour right now I think.
@@animefan2215 you said everything I want to say so well said Elena will be top 5 and win a lot of trophies in a very short of time if she remain healthy she got game she is very talented and different from the other girls so cool and cold she just wants to play and win and go home/hotel and rest no grunts talking or trash talk and more. Congrats Simona, you are one of the greatest player of all time but congrats to Elena too for what you are doing right now and as you said pal only in 20 years old... Thanks, WTA you are the only source that I can find WTA and watch the girls play! 👌👌👍👍👏👏🎂
Congratulations Simona, you have just displayed a never give up attitude. Both players played a great match.
What an amazing final! Probably the best one in the history of WTA
What a match,I would love to see more often in Wta this intensity,passion and dedication like these 2 players.Congratulations S.Halep,great tournament!
An extraordinary match, possibly one of the matches of the year ... that I missed!! The crux is in the decider, following the stats point by point. Unusually high standard in the performance of both players. Doing her job with calm is not what was expected from a younger, less experienced player. Again, her composure led her game to a very competitive level.
Simona as usual focus more on her own performance, but it was she who conceded advantage to a rival. Then, there came her extraordinary mental power to hit back. A deficit cancelled immediately. Having a look at the stats of the final set, Simona fared poorly after her second serve. Not much concern there because 70 odds first serve % followed by equally great efficiency didn't allow her opponent to do much about it. She successfully demonstrated who's a boss!
With this win, the world number 2 tops 6,000 points solidifying her ranking position while some landslide occurred among top 10. On Monday Rybakina will be ranked at 17, her career high, just behind Muguruza.
Many thanks for a (invisible) superb encounter, ladies! Good rest .... For Doha!
Fabulous Simona 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The ONE and ONLY ...🇷🇴SIMONA HALEP🇷🇴
the perfect woman...
Thew WTA is so exciting with Simona Halep in it! Fantastic
I miss tennis sooo much.😟
What a final!!Congrats Simo and also Rybakina!!
What a match! Incredible moments of two players. Simona wins because the strong, determination and being resilient! Congrats Simona!
Halep is just awesome to watch, never give up. Rybakina is gonna win a slam, very soon
I am crying in front of my phone, congrats Simona! I am proud to be romanian!
Crying for win a small tournament 😂
@@joseluismartinez6188 why the fuck not?
Good for u. Be proud!
@@joseluismartinez6188 Yeah, small, really small tournament. Plus more than 500 000 $. Small, really small sum of money.
@@joseluismartinez6188 its not about tournament... its about fighting and win
..... Like a GS victory reaction by Simona tells something very special.
outstanding! amazingly played! Two superb players! And one of the best game I have ever seen.
Crowd size is weak! Need to lower ticket prices!
@@brentpham1155 i checked prices...dirt cheap...27 US for early rounds...i think it was like 60 for simi and finals...reasonable
@@D...M...A... those are ok prices for that particular tournament. Need to lower them further because clearly not many people are coming out to watch
@@brentpham1155 wtf u talking about? They were sold out bozo...
@@lucabrazzi5755 focus on top left of screen from 0:38-0:50. Far from sold out and I doubt that many people are buying food and drinks or going to bathroom.
Halep's finding ways to win. I like this new attitude 👌
Felicitări!
Elena was a bit of challenge to Simona because she is taller and more powerful.. finally experience prevailed. Elena is also very sweet and cute. Some of her shots were definitely impressive, but Simona delivered a better performance in my opinion with some stunning shots. Congrats, Simo!
Nobody can hit through Simona. Agility, skills and strategy eat power for breakfast.
Congratulation Samona, USA
Incredible match. Simona somehow got the job done. Hats off to her 20th 👏👏👏.
My congratulations for Simona 👍🏻🎾🏆🎉❤️
Congrats Simona. Elena is a rising star in WTA. Thank you for uploading good match, WTA.
Actually both players deserved to win after pushing each other hard to a duel in the deciding tie-break.
It was Simona's superior experience and determination in grinding out a win that made the difference.
Simona is not a ball pusher but very dangerous when striking the ball on the run, leaving many opponents stranded.
Elena at age 20 with wonderful allround skills is still a work in progress.
I believe she and her coach will learn from this lost.
Amazing play by Simona!
Simona a strong heart.🏆❤🎾👏
Congrats queen!! #20 ❤️
Queen? Ha ha ha
piss off ...
Simona is such a fighter.... Her counterattacks are so unassuming yet deadly! Congrats to her, and we'll played Rybakina.
"adorable and deadly"... hail ... si...mo...na...
Gran final emocionante partido pero calidad y jerarquía de simona halep logra título felicidades Simona halep Simóna halep
Yes Halep very good!
I love halep!!!
I’m really impressed with Halep this week!!!! Love to see her fight
SUPER *STAR* SIMONA HALEP. NE MINDRIM CU TINE .🎾🏆🎾😘🇺🇸.BRAVO......🌹🌹🌹....
Halep standing further back than Nadal on that last point, a testament to Rybakina.
Congrats, Halepeño! 👏👏 As a vertically challenged woman myself, I love when shorties win, haha. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Rybakina. If she improves her speed around the court, she'll be unstoppable.
Gratulierne Simona halep
Simona is playing scary tennis, her last match was incredible
💞💕quel match bravo Simona . Deux joueuses de haut niveau .
as a fan of halep i really hope that rybakina can win this trophy too...she was exceptional, defeated martic and pliskova in the runup to the final
I love Halep. After this match, i love Rybakina as well. Both will have even better performances in future.
6:02 OMG😳 it’s really amazing shot‼️
Just by looking at Simona's body, I can tell she is a really good player, it shows how much she effort herself training really hard to become the amazing player she is. She has my respects... And I think she is damn hot haha
SIMONA a miracle from a woman
There she is !!!!! Simona she is BRILLIANT ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ MAGNIFICENT
Simona! a dat totul în acest meci :)
Rybakina won 1st set by 6-3 and the highlights show 1st set as 2 winning points by Halep and 1 winning point by Rybakina. What a nice representative of highlights
Halep/Rybakina match, reminded me of Djokovic/Federer close matches. Whatever Rybakina (Federer) throws at Halep (Djokovic), she get it back into play. Finally Rybakina(Federer) gets fed up and goes for an ultra-aggressive shot, making an unforced error. Game Set Match-- Halep/Djokovic.
That's true, also Rybakina looks as calm (and cold-blooded) as Federer in most of the matches, but need to work still, I'm believe in her, I don't think she will ever stop working :P
Not really a fair comparison though. Federer can handle Djokovic's game just fine, he proved it in a ton of matches. His biggest defeats came because Djokovic edged him mentally. This match was different. Rybakina does not yet have the experience to make correct choices in order to handle Halep's game. That being said, Rybakina is one of the most matured young players I've seen for a while. She wants to play an all round game and she employs an attacking high risk game but at the same time she is pretty solid and able to adapt her ground strokes when she needs to.
Mabe Halep its like Nadal
@neophytosdm: It's very unfair, that people just don't give enough credit to Djokovic's actual game and attribute it all to his mentality.
The reason even the best struggle with Djokovic is... his unparalleled depth, pace and consistency of both flanks (FH and BH). He just doesn't give you the odd short or loose ball to be put away. Putting you under relentless pressure. His mental strength is needed only to get through difficult situations, his talent does the rest.
A peak Federer with "NEO" Backhand can match upto to peak Djokovic. But nowadays with a declining Fed, if Djokovic is playing anywhere close to his best, we know the outcome.
@@Zeus-ei1ik You misunderstood. No person that knows a bit about tennis would discredit Djokovic's game. If his game did not AT LEAST match the level of Federer the mentality alone would not make any difference. His game has unique characteristics just like Federer's and Nadal's. Still, the decisive factor in Fed's biggest defeats was mentality. "Unparalleled depth" only on his backhand. Federer and Nadal have better forehand. I agree that Djokovic has the best forehand-backhand balance from the three though. Federer's backhand falls apart way more than Novak's forehand in the last decade.
Yes Simona Halep the Black Sea CHEETAH !!! Congratulations & all the best!
nice one...i like "short stuff" or "the perfect woman"
Great tennis match by both Rybakina and Halep , Super Simona unbelievable defense as usual and shot making you fought for every point why you came away with the victory , Alena has a good drop shot she played well too and Simona glad that you won as well as your many fans .Dubai Classic 2020!
She won't quit...
Bravo Simona Halep!💜Congratulations!🎾
Match of the year so far
Felicitari Simona😘😘bravo 👏🏻👏🏻
What a match last night. Both Simona and Elena deserved to win.
I feel sorry for Elena because she played very well too. She’s a bright future ahead. She’s ranked 192 exactly a year ago and will be number 17 on Monday.
Great final...!
西蒙娜哈普真的是不簡單的女單冠軍，逆轉勝利不放棄真的不容易！值得尊敬！
I have never seen so many hotshots in one match.
Simona always makes the most beautiful and dramatic matches with spectacular points and a lot of emotion.
I felt it all.
Rybakina will win something big this year like Andreescu.❤️
Congratulations Simona
I made the sign of the cross for you
as you usually do in every game you win 👏👏👏👏
Sim 💙 🏆 i love congratulations it was a great match and you are a great warrior
Not stalking you (yet) kidding...but hi again...

Epic MATCH..VERY GOOD LEVEL OF PLAY and congrats to both players!
Felicitari Simona! Mi-ai facut seara de vis!
Elena is a special girl, good sportsmanship displayed, never once lose her composure. Very calm n demure nature even during such high level of intensity. It shows so much of this young girl. She will go far and hopes this virtue will remain in her as she reaches her Top 10, which is coming real soon.
Great tennis from these two lovely ladies!
Best match of 2020 so far! Halep is already a great champion, Rybakina has everything to be the next big champion! Both of them gave everything on court and despite the fight spirit both of them had such a humble attitude. Love them!
Rybakina has had an amazing season so far
Весь Казахстан болел За Елену , мы Героев Любим !
Simona is a fantastic athlete! And Rybakina is having an excellent start to the season, and will end 2020 in the Top 10.
what top 10 ???she is in ranking 17

I love you, Simona! 🌟💖🌹
Well deserved, both played great. 👍
Love these players. Having this experience lately watching women's tennis where I love watching it, am cheering for both players and would be happy if either wins. It's happening a lot. It feels like a whole new era of women's pro tennis with SO many amazing players who bring out so many facets of the game. It's a great time to be a fan.
bravo simona from Constanta Romania !!!
Congratulate to Halep for the final win. And I can't help to notice that Rybakina was playing quietly, comparing to most of nowadays players. It's very interesting.
You don't need to grunt to generate a lot of power. A lot of the grunting I see from other players is forced. Might be strategy to mask the sound of the ball hitting the racket or intimidation, not sure why they do it but it does get out of control sometimes.
@@animefan2215 Thanks for your explanation and it's very interesting point of view. And I agreed, the noisy grunt sometimes is out of control and does distract my focus on the games. However, I think it's a strategy as you said.
Beautiful Game ...
I love Simona and I love the way she plays nowadays and I’m also a big fan of her. I am so proud of Simo, but gosh...you have to feel for Elena. At such a young age, she must be feeling so disappointed right now!! But she definitely has a bright future and will soon become a top 10 player if she plays the way she does now.
What a close match. Really like to see more of Rybakina in the future
6:51 What a shot⁉️❣️
Was rooting for the youngster but she played very well despite she lost
Very promising
Bravo Simona !!!! O adevarata luptatoare pina in ultima secunda. FELICITARI !!!!
Bravo Simona👍
@@Andrey_Khaustov1480 @20 she's a child? Look at her, she's a grown woman... and btw you're insulting her by calling her an inexperienced child!
You won it again my little warrior💪💪💪
Best womens player congrats simona
Si-mo-na!
GS champion and Top 5 ranking soon for Rybakina. Great match for both! Thanks for sharing!
I thought Rybakina was a bit too cautious playing the last few points of the final tie break. She wasn't hitting the angles she was before. But, it's journey.
She has nothing to be regretful of though really. How far she's come in such a short space of time is astounding!
Yep when you have that opportunity you have got to put them away.Didn't do it here but She will learn I'm sure.
Yes, indeed. The last point I found interesting: Simona hit two high slow "shorty" balls to Elena, inviting her closer, Elena did not risk to hit harder, and then Simona hit the hard long backhand under Elena's feet.
Simona, the energizer bunny does it again!!!
This could have gone either way but I’m happy Simona won. Well done to both ladies for a nail biting match.
Yeah!! Queen Simona Halep!!!🤗😍😇
Queen? ... is not.
We have never seen such a close match on the women's tour in a very long time
Congratulations
One of the best match I've seen this year!
