The Blinkova tiebreak effect as Elena Rybakina set for huge ranking slide after record Australian Open loss

Okay...
1. In the Blinkova vs Rybakina match we got to see two longtime colleagues whom consistently faced one another throughout their Junior years. Perhaps the pair could be placed in the "nemesis" category. Each knew the other's routines and habits. Thus, an amazing battle ensued.

2. If fluctuating Top 20 rankings is a new concept to you, are you even paying attention? This is going to be an ongoing, growing routine; especially at the WTA level. How can one not predict such an up-and-down cycle in the rankings given the convergence of existing athletic powers (Swiatek, Rybakina, Sabalenka, etc.) and the current young and talented players? One player 'owning' the season, like Iga did in recent history, may be a thing of the past.
