Although there is still no “ruler” in the women’s tennis world, and they have not been able to create a series of “big 4” old opponents like men’s tennis. However, the two champions in the 2023 Australian Open women’s singles final have paid off. A very exciting game; Belarusian player Aryna Sabalenka got rid of the “soft hand” label, reversed and won the first Grand Slam of her career with 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, while Elena Rybakina, who lost After being sealed by Wimbledon, she is the most promising new force in the future tennis world.
In recent years, the intensity of the women’s singles final, which is often criticized by people, has shown a different look this time. The key lies in serving. It is rare to see women’s tennis players with stable serving skills, and this time, both Sabalenka and Rybakina used powerful serving weapons to lay the foundation for this year’s Australian Open women’s singles final, and then staged a match of strength and power. A matchup with both beauty and capital. Although Sabalenka still made 7 double faults in the whole game, and she also had this serious symptom at a critical moment, but in the end she accepted the victory to prove that she has been reborn, and she is no longer the one who was close to the hometown at important moments in the past player.
Sabalenka blasted 17 Aces in the audience, and the first-serve scoring rate reached 65%, which can be said to be a standard performance. Although the first set was attacked by Rybakina accurately at the bottom line, Sabalenka showed physical advantages after the second set; When the opponent gradually lost the power or durability of the bottom line bombardment, Sabalenka still bombarded violently, and the ball did not give Rybakina a chance to breathe.
Just look at the new champion Sabalenka who hit 51 winning shots in the whole game, you can know her positive style of play, and the problem of “too small heart” in the past is no longer there. Instead, she was forced to lead 5-4 in the third set. From the break point, Sabalenka managed to keep the winning result several times on the bottom line. At the 4th championship point, Rybakina’s return serve was deep and difficult to handle, but Sabalenka still blocked it safely with his skills.
The score difference between the two sides in the whole game is not much different, whether it is fewer shots or more back and forth. Rybakina only scored 7 points less, and lost the chance to win the second Grand Slam in his career. , Every point is exciting. However, in this tournament, Rybakina went to the final stage as the 22nd seed. In addition to knocking down the top seed “purity is enough”, she has attracted a lot of attention and topics due to her good appearance and steady style of play. And she transferred from Russia to Kazakhstan, and many people called her “little Sharapova”. Russia is unwilling to invest resources in this good player, and now it should regret it.
Although Sabalenka was a little stage fright in the first set of this battle, in addition to maintaining her hitting power in the second two sets, her brilliant backhand to suppress her opponent was the focus of her victory. In particular, Rybakina’s serve return is not bad, but in this confrontation Rybakina was unable to get a bargain on the opponent’s serve. It can be said that Sabalenka’s experience in the top 4 of Grand Slams accumulated since the second half of 2021 has been rewarded. She no longer only knows how to attack but does not know how to defend, and she has firm confidence at critical moments. Sabalenka did reveal after the game that in order to save himself from being cold at the critical moment, he might as well be “hind his legs” by double errors. Especially in the coach and team, he corrected this point and achieved fruitful results.
In the past 5 years, Naomi Osaka has appeared in women’s tennis, but after winning the fourth Grand Slam in 2021, she has fallen into various low tides, and she is still waiting for labor and recuperation; Iga Swiatek, who has accumulated 3 Grand Slams, seems to be about to dominate the world. But in this Australian Open, Rybakina, who was the final runner-up, was “blocked” in the fourth round; in addition, the Australian player Ashleigh Barty won 3 Grand Slams but chose to retreat bravely. What is gratifying for the tennis world is that this Australian Open women’s singles final is full of excitement. The champion and runner-up are 24 years old and the other is 23 years old. Give fans a visual feast.
