When Petra serve like this she is a lot to handle..I'm watching a replay..I'm in South America so I don't have to suffer from Mary Jo's lame commentary..how did Elena loose the Tbr. That was mentally destroying. Good Grief.

Elena will be fine, she has now No 7 in the WTA rankings with her finalist points, interesting to see how she goes on clayl

What did Rybakina do to her coach?

In the final she told him to shut up lol!

 

[the AntiPusher]

In the final she told him to shut up lol!

He should have told her to add some variety to her game strategy against Petra slower feet movement. She played Petra's game and it was just to easy for her . Elena will regroup and watch the videos of her match.

I didn't understand why Petra wasn't run to death? She's older w/ not the best footwork in the world, but was allowed to win w/ her power game!

Well the fault is on the coach for starters, he should have had a game plan against Petra to start with before Elena went on court? also if a player's A game isnt working at this level they should be able to see that and change their tactics on court by themselves, I am against coaching in both the WTA and ATP period it is a complete joke.
