Australian Open 2023 F: Elena Rybakina vs. Aryna Sabalenka

[tossip]

I am nervous about Saba imploding,she has an up and down game.I hope that she would be on during her match.In this match there would be a lot of new balls after every game.I think Rybakina has a little bit of variety than Saba.

I dont know about that, Saba has won 2 GS woman's titles in doubles, USO 2019 and AO in 2021, she knows how to get to the net,also how to play volleys etc. Saba has 6 doubles titles all up.

It's difficult to predict the winner.I just hope that it's a fun match,with lots of dropshots and moonballs..

I read that , good on her, I am not against any player have help when needed, but at some stage you have to be able to stand the pressure at times in matches, thats a way you learn how to fight your demons
That is why I would like to see Swiatek let go of her traveling psychologist, she has been on tour long enough to also work things out on her own, she has her coach and team around her, if she feels the need, she can always contact by phone.I know Ash Barty and others had 'life coaches' and if they felt the need for them they would contact them via the telephone..

Thomas Sweeney ( Australia) will be the umpire for today's women's final.
