The rivalry between these two is really one of the best things to happen to women’s tennis

[jenswittgrefe]

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

[malzulkif]

Great to see such lighthearted speech from sabalenka after losing badly

[nattayawongrakmitr]

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

[jackwachtel-scott]

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.

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

[MarkeeeEngelhardt]

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

[BojanKordic]

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

[joedoe]

These two are gems. Great attitude 500%😊

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.

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.

[karmax]

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

[corgeousgeorge]

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.

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

[simonballard]

Aryna is marvellous. So bubbly and full of personality.

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!!!

[alfredoaquino]

[locvfx]

[SheilaMadhavan]

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

[einarsd]

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.
