A brilliant performance 👏 Elena Rybakina is heading to the #AO2023 women's singles final! @wwos • @espn • @eurosport • @wowowtennis • #AusOpen
Elena Rybakina continues to deliver smashing tennis as she defeated two-time Melbourne queen Azarenka 7-6(4) 6-3 to move into her second grand slam final.
Rybakina played in only one final so far and it was last year's Wimbledon final. She won that one and now she'll have a chance to win one more in Australia. It comes after she defeated Victoria Azarenka rather comfortably even though there were a few nervous moments. The Kazakhstani player controlled the tempo in most rallies with her heavy game.
A lot of points ended either with her winner or Azarenka trying to outhit her which didn't go as planned for the Belarussian. She hit 9 aces and 30 winners which was more than enough to secure the match. Azarenka played decently but she was unable to weather the storm against one of the best players in the world right now.
She's not ranked as such due to missing 2000 points from Wimbledon but in the past six months, Rybakina proved she's one of the best at what she does.

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
