Maybe I'm saying rhetorical things, we're always on the edge, but in my opinion it's authentic poetry.
By the way, there was a lot of discussion when she wasn't known, when she won Wimbledon in 2022.
and it was a very special Wimbledon edition because the Russian players were disqualified, Wimbledon did not assign points, yes, the championships did not assign points, and Rybakina with the Kazakh flag, even though she was born in Moscow, won this Wimbledon tournament in which she was shown
very little happy, it was perhaps the moment of maximum tension since the Cold War between West and East.
In reality then in these years, at that time he was also 23 years old,
In these years, in my opinion, his personality has also built up in the circuit, he has become much more loose, much more eloquent, even if he hasn't really become eloquent, of course, he has maintained his personality.
However, he has maintained this style, absolutely dismissed,
who, however, marries in a rather poetic way with the way he plays.
A tennis player who manages to express an almost utopian aesthetic perfection and at the same time, just for this, extremely fragile, unrepeatable at certain competitive peaks,
always on the line between absolute dominance and being and suffering the boat of the opponents and yet extremely competitive against the best in the world and giving the impression of being able to be the best in many moments
I really liked the game, like all the recent female finals, which are often finals with Sabalenka inside.
They are fun finals anyway, they are finals full of content with ups and downs,
full of both tactical and emotional content, in my opinion, because Sabalenka, on the other hand, is his place, he brings a lot of emotion to the field and, in any case, when you face two players so different, not so much technically but humanly, tennis shines in its pure dimension, in my opinion, and Sabalenka, in short, was really...
It wasn't in the emotional conditions of how Roland Garros was against Go Goff, obviously on the verge of a nervous breakdown, but it was very tense and there was a part of self-sabotage, do you agree with this?
It's true what you say, even if at some point the game seemed to go his way, honestly.
I have to say that after the second set I didn't think that Rybakina would have won,
The games between the two of them are always about who can take control of the exchange first and then who serves better, who responds more aggressively, who in the first hits after the service manages to do more.
And it seemed to me that in the third set a better athletic ability of Sabalenka was making the difference.
It seemed to me that Rybakina could move more, take the exchange command first, and Rybakina seemed to me a bit in athletic difficulty.
and instead at some point she managed to raise the volume, the intensity, the energy in a way that I have not always seen her do.
