To think of lesser players being supremely petty in their lesser rivalries - these two stand head and shoulders, literally and figuratively, above the fray. I watched the AO final between them live at 4am US Eastern Standard Time and regret nothing - so thrilling I thought my heart would burst at moments!

I thought Sabalenka has that hard character and attitude but this awarding proved how humble she is. Now i understand how the ways she played inside court with how she really behave off court. She is just aggressive yet very humble one. I start to liking her and being her fan...congrats Rybakina. Great play you showed in the game.. invincible. To Sabalenka, congrats still girl...keep in shape always..you should have won the game remember this...

Sabalenka is so charming!❤😂 And a good looser, too.🥰 Super character person.❤

Always love her attitude especially when with Rybakina. So charming.

These two respect each other!

What's nice about Sabalenka is that she is genuinely good natured and deals with victory or defeat with grace and humor. If you have seen any of her off court interviews it is hard not to like her. When they are playing well these two are for me the best watch in tennis.

Genuinely? Part of a bigger PR effort implemented around the time,when she was criticized for not condemning the war. The "just-die" handshakes and death glares were replaced with smiles, cutesy antics and attempts at jokes. The change is for the better, of course, but it was very deliberate.

@@Malgosia44 Honestly, I don't think it has to do with war or PR, if you watch her interviews from years ago (before the war in Ukraine) Aryna has always used humour on her interviews, I believe that just the way she is.

@@teoc8124 I clearly remember how rude she was on court to players, who beat her. Now it's all smiles.

Two great players, but more important two exceptional women. The warmth and love and humour oozes out of them. Bless them both.

She's such a joy to hear her speak. She is humble, witty, full of class. She is also a mean player. Love watching her play

She’s such a lovely personality

Saba is such an intelligent sweetie. She has concealed her hurt so beautifully. She has my love.

I can tell that the two of them like one another quite well. I think they'd be a hysterical pair to do a reality show on. Sabalenka with her fun, comedic yet dramatic sensibilities and Rybakina with her calm, mellow, deadpan sensibility would be really quite fun to see them together do like a road trip or something ha ha.

Both of them are so likeable! really amazing players to watch!!

Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina are two of my favorite tennis players. They are such awesome fighters on the court and amazing women off the court. I love Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina as athletes so much.

Sabalenka's self deprecating is so well on point to Australian humour, we love someone who can make fun of themselves. I used to be against her since she battled Ash Barty so often but now I'm really warming up to her.

These two are gems. Great attitude 500%😊

She is always very graceful when she loses a final.

Aryna is marvellous. So bubbly and full of personality.

I like Aryna ❤very much. Despite losing the Humor is within her and she is graceiously gorgeous. ❤❤

Love Elena and Aryna is definitely growing on me.

This is how you win over fans without even trying.

Oh, she's trying HARD, sometimes too hard.

Aryna pl do yr best. U r the most talented . Waiting to see you win the Australian open 2024

I wanted Sabalenka to win, but the better player won and that's Rybakina this time. I am so happy for Rybakina. She truly played absolutely phenomenally and made Sabalenka play bad. Congratulations Rybakina on winning this tournament. You deserve it.

I see a little bit of Nadal-Federer in their fight and friendship. And boy... I don't remember the last time I saw anyone as humble in defeat as she is. It's crazy that you can be in top tier competition, be No.2 in the world, and still laugh and dust off a bad day like Sabalenka does. Kudos to her character.

It's so nice to see such a great competitors from Belarus , you can see that Aryna and Vika they are really nice girls with good sense of humour , i know that the Ukrainians girls don't like these 2 girls just because they are from Belarus , and ofcourse it's not right i mean sportsmanship must to be 1st of all , (and not political games) and she's lovely girl... well done Aryna!!!

Such a great human being🥰🥰🥰. Love you Sabalenka ❤️❤️❤️

Win somes loose somes. Sabalenka accepted both gracefully. A good athelic and beautiful human being.

❤❤❤a brilliant thanks Brisbane and to you lovely ladies two of you are extremely exciting to watch see you at Australian open 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

To be honest, I didn't think I'd like Sabalenka when she first came big on the scene, with her final in 2017 against Sharapova. She seems like she would be just an over confident and unlikeable player. But, man, I love her attitude and her sportsmanship. She REALLY won me over during the 2022 USO against Keys and Gauff. She was gracious in her win against Keys and in her loss against Gauff. I love Rybakina too. Her game is so smooth and powerful and hopefully these two will dominate for a long time.

❤🎉❤🎉❤i love both of you same eqwely..you ladies are great players ❤❤❤ god bless both of you congratulations from 🇱🇰

Congrats to Elena! Keep it up! Wish good luck and success in Australian Open.

Congratulations ❤️ Lena

I absolutely love watching and listening to these two great players. Bravo !!! 👏👏🤣😂😂

They are both on the top.

These are my two favorites for a reason.

I love these two! ❤❤❤

I like Ms. Sabalenka, she is always happy even when she loses.

Aryna smile ❤😂

Aryna u neet focus and not take anything for granted. U can win

her grunts may irritate some, but her smile wins the heart of many

Nice 2 guys. Congrats both of them.

Хорошая игра и хорошие люди.

Very nice ceremony!

TWO GREAT RUSSIAN ATHLETES! Sanctions aren’t stopping Russia from producing great athletes and champions!!

I love these 3 but Irina is so funny she takes the edge.

I just love her

And this is why Aryna has many fans around the world and not just her own country. You then think, who won this anyway??? Marketing is huge in tennis and even more important than winning especially when you think about what you will do after tennis.

I love Sabalenka sorry that she lost again rybakina she is so charming we love you very much ❤️ 💖

She Is Charismatic.

Aryna is only tennis player whose speeches are worth hearing & seeing.

Rybakina❤🎉

just want to say i simply lobe sabalenka

She's getting better and better in these interviews. Compare this one to the uncomfortable one from Stuttgart finals last two years which seemed forced and inconsiderate, now I think it wasn't deliberate.

Sabalankia you finish well ok that all right you perform good keep it up.

Just luv der sportsmanship ❤❤❤ 6:35 6:35

Elena was like, "Crikey, I gotta follow _that?"_ 😊 I like this version of Aryna so much better than the old, incessantly furious one who would stand there as runner-up looking like she just spent 4 hours waiting in line at the DMV.

So funny 😂

Although I'd really like to see Aryna win again, I've never seen a loser smile as much! Go Tiger!!

still can't watch her on account of the megashrieking, but wow this was way endearing, mates.

Unfortunately, I'll never be able to get over my bias against grunters. The louder a player grunts the less likely I am to support them. It's one of the many reasons I was a Federer fan and why I'm a fan of Rybakina.

one is Russian, the other is Belarusian, there are differences

Every player should have right to play under her/his country's flag. One cannot choose the country of one's birth. WTA/ATP/ITF, stop this nonsense and do not mix sport with politics. Appointing "flag police" at the AO 2023 was not even childish... it was embarassing and insane... Wars are run by politicians not sportsmen/sportswomen. Why during the invasion of Iraq, 20 year bombing of Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan not to mention the genocidal Vietnam war US, Australian, UK... athletes were allowed to compete under their national flag? USA invaded Iraq in 2003 and yet their flag was still allowed at the World Cup 2006 in Germany and 2010 in South Africa despite the fact they were still in Iraq. Either ban ALL flags of countries who go to war, or don't ban any of them. Another example; are Israeli (Para-)olympians responsible for the policy of their government towards Palestinians?

Oh, I so agree with this statement! The ATP/WTA just wants to look like they’re “doing something” with regards to the conflict so that they can get political brownie points. Shame on them for coming up with blatant discrimination as their method of “doing something”, shaming and humiliating these innocent athletes and using them as scapegoats for something they have nothing to do with!!! Needless to say, I was deeply disgusted to hear that the Olympics in Paris this year will only allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete as neutral individuals. Not only will they not be allowed to represent their countries, they won’t even be allowed to compete as members of a team, the team spirit being core to the Olympic experience!!! It makes me sick just to think about it.

Unfortunately, KZread deleted my comment. I do not know why as I wasn’t being inappropriate (no curse words, links, self-promotion, lewd content, etc). I was simply agreeing with you. What the ATP/WTA is doing is wrong. These athletes have nothing to do with the conflict, and yet they are being used as scapegoats simply so the tennis organizations can be seen as supportive of Ukraine which on its own is fine (I too support Ukraine) but should be done without harming innocents. There is no excuse for harming innocent athletes just to get political brownie points. I wonder if you heard about what the Olympic Committee has decided regarding athletes like Sabalenka and Rublev for the Paris Games this year. Not only can they not represent their countries, they’re not even allowed to compete as members of a team. They have to compete as independent, neutral “individuals”. The team spirit is core to the Olympic experience!!! I was so disgusted to hear this, I feel sick and sad and ashamed just thinking about it🤦🏻‍♂️
