You know, it's not the first time is Robakina winning slams. Hey, there we go. Winning her third slam just now against Arena Sabalenka in three sets. Dominant In the third set, it feels kind of right. It would have felt like a little weird to get to number one and like not win the turn. You know, it's it this is like. A well packaged ending for for Robacina. I thought she was fantastic uh in the match. Her game is just She has easy power. It never looks like she's swinging that hard. And the ball just kind of comes off the racket, but um Obviously won two slams uh this year. Mm-hmm. I don't know, let's just run back the predictions from last year. I don't uh we do we have that clip anywhere? Are we gonna get that one?
Andy Roddick 1:24

How did Elena Rybakina secure her third Grand Slam by beating Aryna Sabalenka?

Andy Roddick 1:29
Well, long way to go. She has to finish the year on number one. But I don't I don't think there's any doubt that she's player of the year with with two slam wins. Um You know, uh I I don't I'm not great, but like two seems more than one.
Mike (Producer Mike) 1:43
Yeah. Yeah, two seems pretty good.
Andy Roddick 1:45
Yeah. And
Mike (Producer Mike) 1:45
she'll be defending the WTA.
Andy Roddick 1:48
Final. She has as well, right? She has a lot of uh lot of points coming off. I'm I'm watching the speech here, kind of looking at it as we go, and I see Arena becoming emotional and I just always think about like we're the only sport that makes someone go talk immediately after they're done. And I know some people go, Well th everyone does press No, I understand that. But there's a big difference between going and collecting yourself for like forty five minutes or an hour and going straight out there. Um, fresh off of it. But Um Anyways, just amazing work from Rabakana to go from Potentially not playing. The tournament? And then never having progressed past the fourth round. In New York. Mm-hmm. To Winning the tournament uh
Andy Roddick 2:31
Beating Coco and Sabalenka back to back.

What were the key moments and turning points in the three‑set women’s final?

Andy Roddick 2:33
Mm-hmm. It's tough to argue against her number one ranking right now. Yeah. You know, it's tough to argue that she's not. the best player in the world. In uh as we currently stand. And
Mike (Producer Mike) 2:41
it w I mean it was a scare we talked about it last night, but I mean it was a fairly like scary injury, or at least it looked like it could be a scary injury with a potential Achilles injury. So I think just mentally to recenter yourself, come to a tournament like you said that they haven't done well, I mean, it's it's it was an impressive run.
Andy Roddick 2:58
It was fantastic. Um I hope we hear more from her. Right. I hope she gets out there and I hope we Maybe develop more of a relationship where we know her personality uh a little bit more because she is just so fantastic to watch. She's such a good ball striker. Her serve as someone who you just loves watching great service motions, it's so simple and she can hit all the spots. Again, I'm jealous of people who have like that effortless power. Mm-hmm. Like people can hit it hard, but they also look like they're hitting it hard, right? Hers is effortless all the way around. The way she moves, effortless. Um, she was just fantastic in this event, start to finish.
Mike (Producer Mike) 3:37
Yeah, so when I say stats to you like twelve aces, eighty-five percent win on first serve, fifty-nine percent on second serve. Yeah. You know, I mean it just when you go down this list that you can see on the US Open uh website I mean it was just an all around dominant yeah despite the three set route.
Andy Roddick 3:55
She can control if she's serving well, she controls the pacing of the matches.
