but it is extremely significant and I wonder if it is a more mental or more tennis problem, in the sense that to reach this level of objective excellence, Sabalenka also had to work a lot on his tennis, which has improved a lot in recent years, he moves much better,

It's much less monodimensional in its game, it has added some variations, it manages the important points of the games better, in my opinion it is also improved at the service, it is improved in the placements in general, when it hits.

Yes, she has become an incredible tennis player, but at the same time, in some moments, some players manage to express a peak of almost invasion that they manage to overcome.

Ribachina here, in this final.

The match with Goff was one of those absurd matches that Sabalenka almost lost with his hands, in which he was superior to his opponent.

But Goff, in that match, managed to achieve a kind of transcendence in the defensive game that Sabalenka never manages to achieve in the final.

It's the same as Madison Kiss, in my opinion.

Even the game against Kiss was a game that Sabalenka could have won, he had had his opportunities, he lost them.

But Kiss, even in that game, has reached an unconsciousness in hitting the ball and a degree of power and precision, I don't know if you remember it from the final of a year ago, but crazy.

And this in these three years.

In these three years, instead, Ribagina has not played any other Slam final.

We are waiting for a year in which the hierarchies of female tennis are very uncertain, especially when it comes to the slams.

Especially because the surfaces then mix everything up, right?

Yes.

Me too, one of my concerns.

What do I have to expect from this year of male tennis?

Yes, well, this tournament at the end, in its concluding phases,

He gave us a lot, at least to compensate for 12-13 days quite anonymous, at the male level.

The semifinals were incredible, we commented on it on a hot Friday.

The final was a bit like we could have expected.
