Dokic sees Rybakina as big winner out of Australian Open final against Sabalenka: "I see her dominating together with Iga Swiatek over the next five to eight years"
WTA
Elena Rybakina wasn't able to finish off the Australian Open as the winner losing to Sabalenka in the final but there are plenty of positives to draw from the experience.
She once again proved to belong at the top of tennis as this is her 3rd significant run among some of the best. She had the Olympic Games run where she finished with a medal, she won Wimbledon and now nearly won her second grand slam. All of that at a young age signals that she'll most likely continue to be dominant in the future.
Wilander predicted 10 grand slam final runs for her and former player Jelena Dokic seems to agree. She said:

“I see someone that is a multiple grand slam champion, maybe
five, six slams. I definitely see more than two. It will depend on the
injuries. But if she stays healthy, definitely. I see her dominating together with Iga Swiatek over the next five to eight years, no doubt about that."
Rybakina will finally make her top 10 debut on Monday after being denied that following her Wimbledon run.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
