Elena Rybakina stunned many by beating Simona Halep 6-3 6-3 en route to her maiden grand slam final at Wimbledon.
She will face Ons Jabeur in the final with neither of them playing in a final before. Rybakina played a really good match, her best this Wimbledon and it could not have come at a better time. Halep was pretty much left without any chances and she knew it. From the start, Rybakina put a lot of pressure on Halep with her groundstrokes.
The serve was working well as well and it was just a complete match for her. She needed that serve to win the match and she was able to execute it properly. Rybakina dropped only 3 points behind her first serve in the entire opening set while winning 9 of 15 rallies on Halep's 2nd serve. That was the difference in the 6-3 opening set.

Rybakina opened the 2nd set with an early break as well but Halep was able to battle back and make it 2-2. She would drop her serve once more in the next game and that was the deciding break that Rybakina needed to get this done. She was ready for anything Halep tried and never once did she look rattled or unsure what to do next.
Just a superbly dominant performance from Rybakina who emerges as a decent candidate to win it all.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- 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
