I like all the tennis players for whom the tennis is not a war, it is a competition ! The respect and the fair-play must be included ! The opponent is not your ennemy and friendship can exist between them (Serena Williams and Caroline Wosniacki, Ana Ivanovici and Sorana Carstea, Simona Halep and Carla Suarez-Navarro, Simona Halep and Irina Begu, and so on) !

@UCdZDTd2npYog0CTKyXgJr6w f*ck off competition, no one likes to loses and if likes is an idiot.

Looking for their upcoming handshakes (match)... lol

She didn't even look at Halep .. rude

Methinks Aryna not like losing. ;o)

What a biotch, eh? Otherwise I like how she plays, but she has to learn to be more respectful towards those better than her, and everybody actually.

That's because she was doped

The only thing that Sabalenka and Serena have in common is that their first name starts with "S" ....

Sabalenka is more powerfull than Serena atm

Sabalenkas first name starts with an A...

Sorry ,I apologize for her first name ...( A not S ),but still not comparison to SERENA at this point ! She still has a long ,long way to come even close to Serena's finesse, accuracy and intelligent game ...

Same thing goes for Dimitrov comparisions to Federer, but still, if you look at him, falls in the same category having a similar aproach to the game and similar physical gifts. Thats what i meant with Sabalenka who has a long way to go not only to reach Serenas Level but also Muguruzas and even Osaka whom i also compare her with. Yet, she is young and seemingly hungry and getting some great results this season.

Yes indeed

She played like a real number 1! She is unstoppable!

barkah ibrahim clasic and inteligent!

Since this match she didn't do anything...

@@djordjenikolic9059 she won Wimbedon what you talking bout

Do you want to risk sitting through another match with rain? Either sitting in the rain or just through multiple postponements? Cincinnati set a new record for rainfall on Thursday.

In the UK, and many other places around the world, it would still be full - tennis fans come out to see good tennis. But in the US, I think, you really need an American to pull in the crowds - someone to support. Just my viewpoint

Bruce Emond federer or nadal playing practically guarantees at least 50% of the stadium full on any given day.

I am talking women today; not the men. Back in the day, Graf and Sabatini also were draws, and it depends on the area where the event is held. If you were at Hilton Head Island, with its tennis-loving and playing community, you still would have had crowds for a Maleeva vs Kohde-Kilsch back in the day; today, I don't think you will get crowds for Svitolina vs Kerber, for instance. But Kasatskina will bring people out because she has a different style of play.

billy. was thinking in the same line. why this happening? is the american so lazy to turn to a tennis match? rather be couch potatoes all day? yikes... but me thinks organizers are at fault. i'd get students (free of charge ?!) to come and watch; get children involved in sports and change that (sit around) mentality.

Yeah they said the same about Douche-tard (Bouchard in case you wonder...) I have heard this bullshit too many time to know where this is going....another shady diva on the tour, seeking for attention and who will be known mostly for the scandals on and off the court for many years to come! Nothing new here folks, move on...

B I has she won Wimbledon this year? Sorry to forget about that.

Alex Meles oh my God you’re EVERYWHERE. Do something with your life instead of trying to bring other people down on the internet. I bet you have such a sad life

Potato God, such a trite comment. Don't bet baby, then you will lose a lot of money. I'm not even not even hiding myself behind a pic with potato ;) and don't exaggerate too much, we live in an era of mobile technology, we all have the internet and iphones. It's just a part of entertainment(social network) and I don't bring anyone down, hell no, let's start there. We are all tennis fans, but nobody is here commenting 24 hours non-stop, either you're a hater or fan, whatever. We all have life and things to do. So, probably you have a depression or something and appealing to yourself how sad your life is, coz look I'm not even thinking about what you said. You know there is a saying "the tongue ever turns to the ailing tooth", so think about it 😉 I'm enjoying my life, I have an incredible life. I travel a lot and I meet so many new people, I do so many cool things:) It took me seconds to write a comment and then I'll be doing my things, so not a big deal. Just take it easy 😉

Alex Meles You do have some serious problems my friend, Halep doesnt know that you even exist, stop wasting your life, if you have one, with such things. She is where she is just because of her hard work and her family, and she deservers everything she gets.

Marius Andreescu first of all, good news for you! she doesn't know that you exist either, my friend😉 It must be so painful for a fan like you that she will never read your lovely supportive comments. Sorry about that. Second, I think she is a great tennis player and she deserved her titles fairly, she achieved a lot and I see why she is so inspirational for poor Romanians. I just don't like her attitude and behavior and that's it. If i had serious problems why would even you even reply to me then?🤣 you're wasting your life for me, baby, I appreciate that! And look 80% of my comments are not even about Halep. It looks like this, only because I have so many replies from crazy fans like you. I like Wozniacki a lot. I've seen so many bad comments about her, but I don't waste my time on defending her and saying "you have no life" to every person who hates her. Because, I'm gonna put myself not in a good position . Like... aren't you wasting your time on saying to me that I'm wasting my time? It's just bullshit. Secondly, I understand that people express their feelings and thoughts. Everyone has a right to love and to hate. It's okay. Again, in terms of achievements, I admit and admire Halep. I'm really done with explaining things to you guys. You can say and think about me whatever you want. Now, I sincerely don't want to waste my time on you. You can carry on giving me diagnoses, talking about me. Whatever, it's fine with me.

Lets not bring God here please! Lol Just enjoy her victory! Stop forcing your God on everyone!

@Summon256 Have you seen that gesture Simona does after the end of all, and I mean all of her games?

The typical situation of wit is better then strength.

one word : TEAMWORK ! Cahill is the best coach in this world !

He went to Keys- Sabalenka match and figure it out

It's not accuracy she needs as much as patience and nerves along with a brain/experience to balance between winners and UE.

if she fall inlove with somebody she may put into perspective being a superstar and then MAYBE the superstar will go into NOVA and the if that NOVA is super super cool we'll notice that as an event :)

kukul roukul ...What is it u'r on mate ?

Elias Mikealson He must be snorting Tide Pods

Sabalenka power and Ostapenko lucky shots on the line and you have a perfect agressive player

agradina ohhhhh, I soo want to see that! 😆

sign of a future champion lol.

Wta cant create manners. The women just don't like each other...meeeeeoooow!

Karl Camat she didn't do anything wrong.

sign of lots of sh*ts . Sharapova's chewingum has felt in the Sabalenka's mouth perhaps. Ok i'll deal with Sabalenka too xd

What should WTA do?? Give her detention?

Yes ,a very immature "little girl "...

she is the strongest player there is ! Even more than Serena right now lol

Also the expert climbed out of the dump.

Putra Rizki I would have done the same Simona was like Fist pump x3 look at me I’m the best it was poor sportsmanship from Simona

I thought exactly the same. I usually don't comment the handshakes but that was really bad by Sabalenka. And I don't understand how people can say that Simona over-celebrated. She has just reached a very important final and Aryna is not an easy opponent, it's ok if she celebrates like that!

Maddox Soles I'm sorry but did you even watch the match? The way she screamed after that ace that saved her from the first MP? Simona fist pumping was NOTHING compared to that. Simona celebrated her victory just like everyone else would have had in her shoes. Sabalenka was simply sour grapes on that one because she couldn't take the defeat like almost everyone else would normally. It's not like she lost to someone outside the top 100, she lost to the damn world number 1, have a little bit of respect. Just because she had a couple great wins going into the semifinal didn't all of the sudden make her the favorite in the match against Halep. That's not the attitude of a winner, that's the attitude of a sore loser. But she's only 20, she's still young and hopefully she'll learn in time.

no she wont :)

Ebosan87 number 1 Serena Williams and number 1 Halep are two different things. Don't mess up with it.

Did you see Wimbledon?

Jody Vance she/he said right now, Wimbledon was 2 months ago. + She hates playing on grass.

B M-Y no...right now no way

But where is Sharapova ?

you know what happened last two times they met, right?

Same here! Nobody knows what will happe one year from now on (altough i do hope nothing bad will happen and Simona will maintain her high level up to that point at very least, but you never know with women's tennis these days..) So why not win everything now, when you are surely in top shape?! So what if Simona will have to defend gigantic portion of points next year in case she packs Rogers Cup, Cinci and USO all in one this year?! What matters is what's happening now and now she dominates, so why not use that momentum to keep winning more?! Why limit yourself to particular titles?!...

Yes, agree. I hope she pulls out of new haven, I think he needs a rest. She ended up in hospital after the AO with severe dehydration. I like Simona, she is a tough cookie, hope she does well at the US open, but she needs to listen to her body.

Me a atleast ostapenko is holding 1 grand slam

Shove all that 'no class' twattery up your uptight ass. This isn't tea time with mumsy and duddy. It's sports and sports don't have to be all manners and niceties. And picking on 20 year olds is pathetic. If they were in college instead you'd call them 'kids' and give people hell for criticizing them.

And how many titles she won ever since?? Exactly...lol

She is even more chaotic and agressive than Ostapenko , but also I think she is more powerfull than Serena . I don't think anyone has such powerfull serve right now

Ostapenko is just in her nature , one moment she is angry , the next happy .. But Sabalenka is nervous ! That is a big difference

Rainer Holt , that is because Halep over-celebrated before the hand shake. Halep should show some respect even if she was the winner.

Nah, it's just Sabalenka being a sore loser as always.

Or maybe because she is spoiled shady diva bratt, who should show some respect to a grand slam champion and world number one? Everyone celebrate when they win, no one should get disrespected for that!

funny, people were complained about Halep grunting the other day )) Now she wasn't heard cuz Sabalenka screams loud

Lol or Bouchard, you know the ultimate shady drama queen of the tour...golden girl with shitty attitude! Lmao

too much attitude and confidence. should learn some modesty.

she will not have a good future in wta.only because hits with power?

Victoria Films Sabalenka is 34 in the world but will be top 20 very soon.Can easily be top ten

@@jeffreykaufmann2867 easily she s physically and technically among the best but she has to work on her mental strength.

Victoria Films I have never seen her play before Cincinatti but I didn't see much negative behavior from her.But I only saw highlights

Number 20? Sweety, Sabalenka lost to the actual nr 20 too... long way to go if she wants to be at least a 20.

32 anyway it doesnt make any difference in tennis either you re in the top 10 or you re nobody, there s almost no difference between the number 100 and the number 11.

She played incredibly and still lost, what do u expect? She must have been VERY pissed off, I know I would!!!!

um nobody has to be forced to shake hands you sensitive little girl

Thank you ,CODY ! I could NOT agree more ...!

um nobody has to be forced to shake hands you sensitive little girl

Dan Bizau but on the other hand she is so lucky to have a great and really supportive fandom, full of crazy and disrespectful people who will shoot a hater for Halep. I mean it's even worse than Nazi, bit their idol is just not Hitler, it's Halep.

Alex Meles Agree u said it well.

Correct, her crowd is just amazing But and there’s a big BUT... I assume that you have noticed that her support is coming from Romanian people that are living abroad(80% of it). It’s simple...it’s hard to digest that a girl from a country like Romania can do such big things I repeat myself , if she’s not from Russia or USA she’s not popular. Anyway she’s keep going and makes us proud with every match she won.

@@danbizau8550 Simona is liked because she shows respect AND IS A GREAT PLAYER. Her being any particular nationality has nothing to do with it. She is proud to be Romanian and why shouldn't she be?

Ccs Vcs Exact

30192 without any doubt Daren Cahill is the best coach in the world

kukul roukul agree.give a year and she will end up naked in some magazine with that attitude.

Maybe because her body does not resemble that of a man taking steroids or because she is permanently subject to anti-doping checks (12 last year), the greatest number among WTA players, or because she has never avoided anti-doping checks. That's why.

Those girls did that in the past. Now Simona is better than ever and i don't see Serena or Sharapova comeback to their best. The generation has finally changed. Probably Simona will stay as no.1 for a long time.

she has more power than Serena right now

treideca44 you can never count Serena & Maria out when they are up against Halep. Halep's shot has a bounce to it that Maria & Serena found to be very attackable (this is evident with Sharapova's win in the US Open last year & pushed Halep to 3 sets back in Rome - I remember at one point Halep said that she is "afraid to serve" which I didn't expect to hear from a World no. 1 while, Serena already made a Major final this year. And my comment is for Sabalenka anyway.

30192 that's the only thing that she has right now.. Incredible but uncontrolled power.
